Unmanaged print fleets cost the average business between 1 – 3 percent of its annual gross revenue. Where does such a massive expenditure come from? For starters, wasteful or unnecessary printing adds up. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the average employee wastes 17 percent of all printed documents. You also must account for productivity lost when your printer is down due to a mechanical issue or when you are out of a consumable, such as ink or toner, bringing your workflow to a halt. Then consider how much time your staff spends responding to printer-related tasks, time that could be spent much more productively. Finally, you have to factor in the cost of a potential data breach, as networked printers post significant security vulnerabilities that put your network, systems, and data at risk. According to a study by Kaspersky, the average data breach costs small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) $38,000.
