How To Save Money And Be A Greener Business: Shine A Light On Office Peripheral Management

In most organizations, printers, fax machines, and scanners seem to magically multiply without human intervention. Although companies often don't count the cost, the amount of money spent servicing such equipment that is aging or underutilized is astounding as well as environmentally taxing. I&KM professionals have a significant opportunity to cut costs, fill gaps in compliance and security, and make a tangible impact on the environment by taking a hard look at how office devices are used throughout the organization. By eliminating redundant or dated equipment, installing multifunction peripherals (MFPs) to replace single-purpose devices, and implementing central management and accountability, I&KM professionals can save money, become heroes, and help push green IT forward.
