What Is Managed Print and Why It Matters for Small Teams

In today’s business environment, small teams are expected to do more with less. But one area often overlooked is printing. From hidden costs and security risks to wasted time ordering toner or fixing jams, unmanaged printing drains resources. That’s where Managed Print Services (MPS) comes in.

In today’s business environment, small teams are expected to do more with less. But one area often overlooked is printing. From hidden costs and security risks to wasted time ordering toner or fixing jams, unmanaged printing drains resources. That’s where Managed Print Services (MPS) comes in.

At its core, MPS is about transforming the way your business handles documents. It goes beyond simply supplying printers — it’s about monitoring, maintaining, and optimizing your print environment so your team can focus on what they do best.

What Is Managed Print?

Managed Print Services is a professional program that oversees every aspect of your printing and document workflow. With the Digital Office Services MPS offering and partners like Konica Minolta and HP we take responsibility for:

  • – Monitoring printer health and usage in real-time
  • – Automating toner and supply deliveries
  • – Proactively servicing devices to prevent downtime
  • – Offering insights on how to cut costs and reduce waste

Why It Matters for Small Teams:

  1. Cost Savings You Can Count On — Studies show organizations can save 20–30% annually with MPS by right-sizing their fleet and eliminating waste.
  2. Productivity Without the Headaches — Supplies arrive automatically, and local technicians resolve issues quickly.
  3. Security That Protects Your Business — Secure print release, user authentication, and encryption keep sensitive data safe and compliant with Canadian privacy rules.
  4. Sustainability That Matters — MPS reduces waste, lowers energy use, and supports recycling.
  5. Local Support You Can Trust — regional-based support ensures quick, reliable service and personal accountability.

A Real-World Example:

A large realtor in Muskoka/Parry Sound was spending hours each week managing supplies and fixing outdated printers. After switching to Digital Office Services Managed Print program, they cut print costs by 27%, reduced IT calls by 40%, and freed up staff time to focus on clients.

Conclusion:

For any team, MPS isn’t just about printers — it’s about efficiency, security, and trusted local support.
