Yes. Our practice-specific methodologies, optimised for key platforms, let us deliver fixed-price implementations for large projects.
How much can Print as a Service save?
Print as a Service typically cuts printing costs by 30% to 50%, with printers and copiers under a service level agreement and the printing budget under control. Actual savings depend on print volume, paper type and fair-usage terms.
