Organizations have been adopting Managed Printing Services (MPS) to gain control of the organization’s digital and paper document environment for the past decade. Traditionally, MPS was used to manage imaging and printing process of paper documents in the organization. However, with industry evolutions, the management of digital documents, security and optimizing business processes through more efficient sharing of information and documents within the organization has become crucial for organizations. To look beyond printing assets and reducing print costs, Cannon IV, an Indiana-based company, provides MPS solutions that assists organizations to capture, manage content, and improve business processes and workflows driving organizational efficiencies. Evolving with the business trends, Cannon IV introduced their first MPS program in 2003.

“As a family owned business headquartered in Indianapolis, Cannon IV is a leader in offering comprehensive managed print services programs nationally to all end-user markets,” says James R Fall, VP of Strategic Planning, Cannon IV, Inc. Established in 1974, Cannon IV offers MPS and Enterprise Content Management solutions to automate information-driven processes in retail, financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, legal, education, and government organization.

While most of the resellers are focused on selling specific products, Cannon IV takes a consultative approach of developing a client specific solution that enhances the productivity and return on investment (ROI). Cannon IV takes a multi-phase approach of developing a client solution strategy of managing the environment, optimizing the infrastructure and optimizing business workflows. “Our MPS program provides a comprehensive and professional management for the entire printing, imaging and document management environment.” The company offers a four-step approach that assess, design, implement, and measure while assisting the client. “Our approach initially assesses the imaging and the printing environment in the client’s organization and evaluates the requirements,” delineates Mr. Fall. At the end of the assessment, Cannon provides a report on the current state of their environment and the proposed solution for the client. The company’s project manager assists the client in implementing the finalized solution that can be optimized and customized to the clients’ requirements.
