Whether you're managing five offices or one printer fleet spread across a mostly remote team, modern print environments can be complicated. Too many drivers. Too many brands. Too many support tickets.

If you're here, you're probably considering cloud-based print management to make your life easier. Smart move. Cloud platforms are where things are heading. The big question now is: Should you go with Xerox Workplace Cloud or Y Soft SAFEQ Cloud?

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve been in the print game for almost 40 years, partnering with both Xerox and Y Soft. We don’t just sell boxes, we help businesses actually manage their print environments efficiently and securely. That means we know the ins and outs of both platforms.

Running a school means managing a thousand things at once. This includes printers. However, keeping them up and running often ends up near the bottom of that list. Whether you're printing lesson plans, testing materials, or administrative paperwork, printing is a major part of school operations. And it can quietly drain your budget and staff time.

At STPT, we've spent over 35 years helping schools regain control over their print environments. Excessive printing costs can add thousands of dollars to a school's monthly expenses, creating chaos with overflowing toner closets, malfunctioning devices, and mounting invoices. That's where Managed Print Services (MPS) comes in as a reliable solution to streamline print management and reduce costs.

This blog explores whether MPS is the right fit for your school. We’ll break down what MPS is, its biggest benefits, its potential drawbacks, and how to decide if it makes sense for your school.

Many companies still rely on physical printing for day-to-day operations. But with Microsoft changing how printing works in Windows, IT teams and office managers are left scrambling to figure out how to keep their devices running.

If you’ve come across the term "Windows Protected Print Mode" or heard that traditional print drivers are going away, you’re probably wondering what that means for your Xerox printer. That’s where the Xerox Print & Scan Experience app comes in.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we’ve been working with Xerox for nearly 40 years. So when Microsoft announces a change that could impact every Xerox device in a Windows environment, we’re not just paying attention, we’re here to make it easier for you to understand what’s happening, and what you need to do.

Ever feel like your printers are running the office instead of your people? Toner’s out (again), invoices are piling up from five different vendors, and your IT staff is spending more time fixing paper jams than doing actual tech work.

If this sounds familiar, it might be time to look into Managed Print Services (MPS).

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve spent nearly four decades helping businesses  of all sizes like schools, hospitals, and law firms, take back control of their print environments.

In this guide, we’ll break down what MPS really means, how it works, and why it’s one of the smartest moves a business can make when it comes to reducing waste, improving productivity, and making printing… well, something you don’t have to think about anymore.

Running a business means juggling a lot. You may need to work with hybrid teams, manage tight budgets, or address ongoing security concerns. And somehow, printers are still a daily pain point. If you're managing multiple devices across departments or locations, chances are you're feeling stretched.

We talk to organizations all the time that are buried in print-related tickets, chasing down toner levels, or still relying on outdated infrastructure. If that sounds familiar, you may be looking for a more efficient way to manage your fleet.
