Last Thursday night the Minneota School Board approved a five-year agreement with Bennett Office Technologies for Managed Print Services. Managed Print Services (MPS) is the future of our industry. In the case of Minneota, Benett Office Technologies is taking over responsibility for the operation and service of the entire print and copy fleet. Â
Benefits to the client include upgraded equipment, services through a single vendor including responsibility for keeping adequate inventories of printer cartridges, etc., which allows IT to focus on core competencies rather than printer service issues. Administration has a quantified figure for printing costs where none existed before. In education, with funding pressures mounting nearly daily, cost certainty is a major key to future planning.
We are looking forward to this new service provided to the Minneota Schools and to the future of Managed Print Services!
