A Common Refrain

We talk to a lot of IT personnel here at LBM Systems, and a common refrain we hear is: “We think we probably have more printers/copiers than we need”. We see it all the time: if you think you have too many printers, you probably do. If you think you are spending too much on ink and toner, you probably are. If you think users are using printers and copiers for non-business purposes, they probably are. But “probably” is not a good baseline for decision making. Good organizations need data to make decisions.

Trust your instincts to get started on improving your business. AXIAR Green tracks printing behavior and device usage statistics to enable you to analyze printer use and user activity. This data can be analyzed with reporting tools (we use Crystal Reports in our system). You can then make changes to device accessibility and user options to save paper.

Many of our customers start the paper saving process by eliminating unnecessary printers and copiers after collecting metrics to determine if they are underutilized. It’s that simple: use AXIAR Green, paper saving software, to collect data, analyze the data, make a decision and save money. Contact us and let’s start talking.
