Independent studies by industry analysts suggest that the cost of document production is as much as 3 to 12 % of annual revenue. Many companies do not realize that an effective print management strategy can decrease document production costs by as much as 20-25%.
At the Chicago Office Technology Group, we develop a blueprint of your document production operations and outline the flow between people and departments. Our methodology for developing your unique blueprint is outlined below in five clear steps:
- Define. COTG will assemble a dedicated team that focuses directly on addressing your objectives, defining the scope of analysis and implementing a timeline.
- Measure. This stage begins a comprehensive review of your technology infrastructure, utilization patterns and all direct and indirect costs.
- Analyze. After data collection is complete, you receive a detailed blueprint outlining your current technology placement and a report identifying inefficient processes, utilization rates, service strategy and total cost of ownership.
- Improve. The proposed solution is designed to reduce overall costs, consolidate vendors, redeploy, replace or remove hardware, improve workflow patterns and simplify asset management reporting.
- Control. We focus on continuous improvement, performing quarterly account reviews and proactive account maintenance. You have the ability to adjust as your needs change, without penalties.
