Think Less is More
Single-function printers, copiers, fax machines and scanners are all considered to be print devices, often with similar functionality and technology. These devices are often placed next to each other and can fill an entire room. TSG recommends the adoption of MFPs to consolidate four devices into a single device. Along with reducing the number of print devices in your environment, there are other significant benefits, including: fewer consumables needed, less space used, less energy consumed, and fewer providers supporting your environment. Combined, these benefits quickly equate to a significant savings of time and money.


Consider Employee Productivity
The adoption of MFPs allows for a reduction in print fleet assets; however, TSG suggests not reducing devices to the point of hurting employee productivity. If devices are too far from users, valuable time is lost getting to/from devices. Our experience has shown users are best served when employees can either see or hear the document device they use most often. This practice maintains employee satisfaction and productivity. We've found an ideal environment includes a balanced mix of personal printers, workgroup printers and MFPs, and department devices that are well-equipped to meet the needs of users.

Work Toward Balanced Deployment
The idea behind implementing a mixed environment is often call balanced deployment. This industry-endorsed concept recommends the ongoing deployment of print-centric devices be at the workgroup level, and allows for exceptions for both personal and departmental devices where appropriate. The end result is a balanced print-centric environment that has a mix of personal, workgroup, and departmental printers and MFPs, ideally matched to the workforce need.




Consolidate Devices
Optimize Your Office
Consolidate Devices
Go from 4 devices to 1

Consolidation is achieved through the placement of multifunction printers (MFPs) to combine four document functions — print, copy, fax and scan — utilizing one device.
The Wholistic View
TSG takes a wholistic view in making recommendations to manage your print environment. This approach results in the consolidation of devices, brands and models, as well as the consumables required, space needed, energy consumed and service providers required. The result is a perfect balance between the most current technology, employee productivity, and the cost of operating the print environment.
