We’ve just compiled the 2017 User and Device Printer BI Dashboard and one thing's for sure: Print behaviors are changing in dramatic ways compared to any previous year that we’ve studied. This is the 3rd year we’ve run the numbers and some trends are becoming clear. In this blog we’ll explore those trends and share what some of the most telling differences are between the 2017, 2016 and 2015 data sets.

One of the cornerstones of any good managed print program is a good remote monitoring and management platform.

As soon as the assessment is over, they “clean” out the unmanaged devices and only continue to pay to monitor the devices under contract.

I’ve been in the managed print services businesses for over 15 years. I started before managed print was even a thing. Back then the only way people bought toner and service was by buying cartridges and service packs. The market looks a LOT different today and for those that were lucky enough to make their careers in this space it’s been a wild and rewarding ride! My own career has taken me from selling device monitoring software to conducting and training others on selling with MPS assessments to leading kick-butt teams at creating marketing campaigns and materials to developing new markets. To say I’ve been lucky would be an understatement.
