In the modern business environment, cost-effective and efficient printing is essential for any business or organization to remain competitive. In particular, managed print services can be a great asset for churches and religious organizations.
Amid the increasing costs of paper, ink, and other supplies, technologies like print management can help save money by reducing waste and ensuring that documents are printed quickly and accurately. Focusing on cost-effective printing and integrating automation can also boost efficiency by streamlining processes and improving productivity.
If you're a church and religious organization looking to save time, effort, and budget—as well as to ensure your documents are printed and stored securely and sustainably—read on.
4 Key Benefits of Managed Print Services for Religious Organizations
Managed print solutions (MPS) can be very helpful for religious organizations by allowing them to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve sustainability.
1. Manage Increased Print Needs Despite Budget Constraints
Many churches operate within strict and sometimes even limited budget constraints. However, churches are also increasingly focused more on content creation, producing specific liturgical materials on a weekly or monthly basis.
By using managed print services, churches can ensure that they are getting the best quality prints at the most affordable prices—without having to worry about going over budget. MPS also maximizes your print technology uptime, ensuring supplies are in stock and printers are operational when you need them most.
2. Improve Document Storage Security & Efficiency
In addition to producing large amounts of print materials, many churches must also store large amounts of records or archives.
Adopting MPS ensures that any documents containing personal or confidential information are securely and properly handled throughout the printing process. Additionally, leveraging the latest technologies such as cloud computing and digital document management systems mitigates unnecessary print waste for more efficient and cost-effective storage.
3. Boost Sustainability
By streamlining printing processes, faith-based organizations can not only save money on printing costs, but on energy consumption. An MPS partner can help automate certain tasks and gain real-time insights into an organization's printer usage to uncover and eliminate areas of waste. As well as advise on consolidating print devices for more streamlined and efficient infrastructure.
Ultimately, MPS provides an environmentally friendly option for organizations to reduce their carbon footprints while still meeting their printing needs—an important feature in today’s environmentally-focused world.
4. Overcome Cultural Resistance
Despite the clear benefits of putting strategic focus on your church's print environment, one of the most problematic issues for churches is cultural resistance to the adoption of technologies and changes in the status quo.
Fortunately, when partnering with an experienced third-party managed service provider, an organization gains access to not only their expertise, but also around-the-clock troubleshooting and assistance. With help at hand, it's easier for church personnel to adapt to new technology and gain all the benefits an MPS can offer.
