In an age where efficiency, security, and sustainability define modern workplaces, print environments can’t be left behind. Dectek — a company with over 40 years in the print solutions space — has crafted a managed print services workflow that tackles every challenge in document output management. Let’s explore their print service model in detail.
1. In-Depth Print Assessment
Everything starts with a thorough assessment of your current environment. This involves auditing:
- Device inventory
- Print usage patterns
- Consumables data
- Hidden costs and inefficiencies
This diagnostic phase identifies opportunities for consolidation, workflow improvements, and cost reduction.
2. Tailored Fleet Management of Print Services
There is no “one-size-fits-all”. Dectek offers a customised device fleet, selecting printers and MFDs (from Epson, Develop, and others) that match your business demands—volume, function, workflow, and budget. Ongoing management includes maintenance, automated consumables delivery, prompt servicing, and usage tracking to minimise downtime and maximise uptime.
3. Comprehensive Cost Control
A key pillar of Dectek’s MPS is cost optimisation:
- Consolidating devices to lower TCO
- Implementing print rules and quotas
- Leveraging heat-free inkjet tech (like Epson’s) to slash energy & consumable expenses
For example, a legal firm saved €42,000 over five years through a tailored Epson fleet with energy- and cost-saving benefits factored into the total savings.
4. Workflow Optimisation & Automation
Dectek identifies repetitive or inefficient document workflows and replaces them with automation and digitisation strategies. Benefits include:
- Faster document delivery
- Reduced manual handling
- Paperless processes wherever applicable
5. Security & Compliance
They integrate advanced features like follow-me printing, user authentication, secure print release, and encryption to ensure document confidentiality and compliance with data-protection regulations.
6. Sustainability – Green by Design
Dectek places significant emphasis on environmental responsibility:
- Duplex printing
- Low-energy devices
- Recycled materials and eco-inks
- Heat-free inkjet technologies save up to 85% energy versus traditional lasers
Their close partnerships with Epson and Develop ensure bold strides in eco-friendly print management.
7. Continuous Monitoring & Optimisation
MPS isn’t a set-and-forget fix. Dectek provides:
- Real-time usage & cost tracking
- Scheduled reviews and fine-tuning
- 24/7 support and fast response times
This iterative approach ensures the print setup evolves with your business.
