Managed Print Services: The Essential Business Service

By Tim Brien, OKI Data Americas

Managed print services (MPS) continues to be a growing force to be reckoned with in today's printing and imaging industry, projected to experience double-digit growth through 2014. Businesses of all sizes no longer see MPS as an added-value amenity but instead a valuable service. The market has led to an increased interest in building nextgeneration workplace environments where cost and productivity goals are maximized due to continuing economic pressures. Research has shown that by 2014, midsize businesses with 100 to 1,000 employees are expected to show the highest level of growth in MPS.
