Used….
It’s almost a derogatory term for some buyers and even sellers in the buying process. And it’s understandable why.
Who used this before me? What kind of lifespan does this product have left? What did the company do to prepare this used product to sell? How have other customers fared with this used product?
All these concerns are completely understood when it comes to buying a used product.
Congratulations!
If you’re reading this article, it’s likely that you’ve recently purchased a new copier or printer and are preparing for your installation date.
You’ve chosen the machine that includes installation and setup, configured with all the accessories and features you want, you’ve signed all the paperwork, and now all that’s left is for a service technician to deliver and configure your device.
Picture this: It’s a busy day at the law firm you work at, everyone’s rushing around trying to get work done, while you’re standing at the printer, waiting for your court transcripts to finish printing.
Suddenly, the printer goes down, and a warning sign flashes on the screen. All those documents you needed to be printed are gone, as well the contracts, manuals, NDAs, and other papers that your coworkers needed to print too. The whole office essentially comes to a halt, and no one really knows what to do.
We all know why we have copiers and printers- to copy and print. But when was the last time that you considered how your printing equipment might be directly bringing your organization revenue?
As an authorized vendor of Xerox printing equipment, we know just how invaluable having a copier/printer can be for any organization, regardless of the industry, and how it can bring your company revenue through several different ways. We’ve outlined the two main ones in this article, so you can understand how your organization is financially benefitting from having reliable and quality printing equipment in-house.
While it might seem like a minor inconvenience to some, constantly looking through apps just to find the same one that you use every day is a waste of valuable time that could be spent working. That’s why we’ve found one of the best solutions for organizations with multiple users assigned to print is personalized individual user accounts, made possible with Xerox ConnectKey Technology.
Navigating the copier/printer industry and looking for a reliable print vendor can be quite the hassle. You may not know if you’re getting the best deals, the best equipment, or even if you’re working with the best vendor.
We here at Strategic Technology Partners of Texas have been operating for over 35 years, and we’ve experienced firsthand the difference that a good vendor/customer relationship can have. We also know that understanding the history of your print vendor can help you avoid any confusion, especially if they’ve changed names a couple of times like us.
As a big organization, weighing out your different pricing options can be a big hassle, especially when it comes to something you might not be well-versed in, such as copiers and printers. You know you need them, but you’re not sure how to tell you’re gettingthe most out of your spending and receiving the most competitive prices possible.
That’s where a bid comes in. Putting a bid out, or going out for a bid, is the most common way that big organizations like schools and local governments choose to view all of the different contract options available to them, from all the different vendors in their area.
Do you know how much your organization is spending on color prints? When was the last time that you took a look at your printing records, or your invoices?
Printing can become a big cost for businesses that aren’t keeping up with their print volume, and especially color printing. That’s why as an experienced print vendor we recommend all businesses to utilize some form of print management or color tracking.
Color tracking refers to the process of regulating color prints and controlling the costs by using a form of print management.
When dealing with contracts and different business initiatives, it’s likely that you will encounter a proposal. Here at STPT, our proposals that we send to customers have several key factors that we find important to highlight and understand.
A proposal is an offer from a company that provides you details of the product or service you are looking to acquire. Proposals should be provided to potential buyers after a consultative meeting with a sales representative that has an in-depth knowledge of the product or service they represent. Proposals can be accepted by the potential buyer, or negotiation processes can begin in order to better match the buyer’s needs.
These days, businesses are always looking for different ways to cut costs and maximize their office productivity. With so many different options out there, it’s important to understand the ins and outs of each one and to decide which is better suited for your needs. Y-Soft SafeQ Print Management Suite and Xerox Standard Accounting are two great options, but they each have their own key points worth highlighting.
