Ready to see how the Print Management program saves real companies real money? Below are two case studies that demonstrate the dramatic savings available through our program. Company names have been changed, but all remaining information is accurate. Please feel free to contact us at BMP with any questions you may have on our Print Management program.

Case Study: XYZ Hardware

Number of employees: 350
Number of buildings: 1
total # of Business Devices: 119
Average Monthly Volume per Device: 3,253

XYZ Hardware came to BMP with a desire to reduce their costs associated with document management, improve the efficiency and productivity of their employees and return focus to their core business.

After conducting an initial assessment that included multiple building walk-throughs, configuration pages from all printers, and two months spent capturing the number of copies/faxes made per machine, BMP presented XYZ Hardware with a cost per page assessment. Information included a quarterly volume and quarterly cost breakdown by black and white vs. color copies along with the Top 12 Page Users by Department.

One of the major discoveries was that color copies, while only 19% of XYZ Hardware's total copy volume, were coming in at 42% of total costs.

BMP proposed 3 solutions.

Solution #1: Device Standardization for Cost Reduction

Reduced IT Support Costs (Helpdesk, Labor, Driver Support)
Minimized Supply inventory Carrying Costs
Minimized Employee Cross-Training Needs
Improved Employee Productivity & Satisfaction
Decreased Administrative/Invoice Processing Costs


Solution #2: Fleet Optimization & Device Management for Efficiency & Productivity Improvements

Reduced overall number of supported devices by 17.5%
Saved Floor Space
Decreased Overall Equipment/Fixed Costs
An automated device-monitoring tool also helped continue to minimize costs associated with under/over utilization of equipment.


Solution #3: Managed Services to improve Core Business Focus

Under managed services, YZ Hardware outsourced their device support to BMP. They saw a drastic reduction in equipment downtime, decreased IT costs related to device support and--most importantly--a reduction in time and resources spent on non-core functions.

BMP also worked with XYZ Hardware to help them establish an Internal Production Facility. This facility, tailored to the needs of XYZ Hardware, reduced employee time spent on copying/fulfillment functions and decreased costs by shifting production jobs to less costly devices and employees.

Financial Impact:
BMP was able to offer XYZ Hardware a 20% reduction in output costs over three years for a total of $190,425 saved!
