In today's digital age, companies across all industries continually seek innovative ways to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and streamline operations. In print operations, some organizations lack a clear or well-communicated print policy, while others may not fully grasp the actual costs associated with running print devices. Larger companies with multiple segments may face challenges in facilitating cross-departmental communication regarding these crucial logistical practices within the business.

At the core of these endeavors stands Modern Office Methods (MOM), an industry leader that extends beyond traditional print processes. MOM offers comprehensive solutions to address common organizational pain points, ranging from print management to data security. Thanks to its exceptional team of operational superheroes, MOM consistently delights clients. Its priority is to understand the daily challenges faced by clients.

Before proposing solutions, MOM delves deep into the client's current print environment. Instead of counting devices or recommending upgrades, its experts conduct an in-depth analysis of current assets, policies, cost structures, and the spatial layout of the devices. This ensures that companies don't merely save a few pennies by relocating a printer but, rather, streamline their entire print infrastructure to align with their business objectives. MOM aims to tailor solutions that align with each client's unique needs and business goals, going beyond a generic upgrade-focused strategy.

“When working with our clients, we meticulously map their assets to gain a comprehensive understanding of the environment,” says Ken Staubitz, Chief Operating Officer at Modern Office Methods. “We then present them with a ‘future state’ plan for their printing logistics, tailored to their unique requirements.”

The biggest challenge organizations face is understanding the true costs associated with running print devices and the investments already made. Many companies are aware of their assets but lack insights into the operational costs of these assets. Additionally, the absence of a well-defined print policy exacerbates the problem, often resulting in inefficiencies and unnecessary expenses.

“The biggest thing we see is people have a good idea of their assets, but they don't understand the cost that's involved in either running a device, or the investment they've already put into their current fleet,” says Staubitz.

MOM’s success is substantiated by impactful client stories. For instance, a large manufacturing client initially struggled with managing thousands of assets across multiple facilities. Through MOM’s methodical mapping approach, the client's fleet was streamlined from 2,500 to 1,400 devices, resulting in a remarkable 30 percent cost reduction and enhanced operational efficiency.
