Intelligent Office Printing (IOP) addresses output issues such as:

• Lack of information about output costs
• Unreliable printing processes
• Inefficient printer infrastructure
• Laborious administration efforts

Such issues are compounded when there is no central control of output systems, and consequently no quick and flexible method of resolving problems in the environment.

IOP provides total cost transparency. It is designed to optimise and control an entire printer fleet infrastructure. And it pays: costs for an IOP project typically amortise within a year.

Benefits at a glance

Cost minimisation
	Through least cost routing, IOP directs print jobs, on the basis of defined business rules, to the most cost effective device
	User’s higher cost awareness leads to reduced printing costs

Optimised utilisation
The work load of the existing printer fleet increases and inefficient devices can be eliminated.

Cost transparency
The Accounting, Planning & Optimisation system collects operational data from the overall output process and enables print jobs to be allocated against devices and organisational units (users, departments, cost centres).

Minimised administration and support effort
The automatic re-routing of documents, in the case of a printer problem, greatly reduces calls to the help desk. Furthermore, IOP facilitates the integration of new users, devices and systems seamlessly, and IOP is printer manufacturer independent.

Service Level Agreements
IOP supports compliance with stipulated Service Level Agreements.

Future-proof
IOP allows the quick and easy adjustment to new devices and systems as well as to changed organisational structures and new company locations.
