As you read them, keep in mind that “office printing has become a TOP 4 operating expense” for most businesses next to payroll, rent and utilities.
Analogy #1: Providing Employees with Smart Phones and Not Monitoring Long Distance Usage
Imagine if everyone in your office had a “company phone” and nobody ever tracked how many long distance calls you made, or how much data you used. People probably wouldn’t think twice about calling a relative in a distant location and talking for as long as they like.
The same goes with office printing. If left unmanaged, chances are your company could be printing and paying too much!
Analogy #2: Leaving the Window Open on a Hot Day When the Air Conditioner is On
What would you say to a person in your house that kept leaving their window wide open while the heat or air conditioner was on? You’d probably say something about the waste and expense.
The same goes with office printing. If left unmanaged, employees are probably wasting toner, paper and money!
Analogy #3: Having Company Gas Pumps Without Tracking Consumption
Some businesses have gas pumps on their premises to fuel company vehicles. What if there was absolutely no monitoring of how much gas each person was pumping and whether the gas was going into a company vehicle or their own.
The same goes with office printing. If left unmanaged, there is no way to reinforce the behaviors that you want!
