What Are Managed Print Services (MPS)?

Managed Print Services (MPS) is a strategic outsourcing model where an experienced provider like ITBC Pro takes full responsibility for assessing, optimizing, and managing your organization’s entire printing and document output environment.

Unlike traditional break-fix printer support, MPS is proactive. It combines:

  • Detailed print audits and usage analysis
  • Fleet optimization (right-sizing devices and placement)
  • Automated supplies management (toner, ink, paper)
  • Proactive maintenance and remote monitoring
  • Secure printing policies and workflows
  • Reporting, cost allocation, and continuous improvement

According to industry leaders like Xerox, HP, and Gartner, MPS helps businesses optimize document output, lower costs, improve productivity, and reduce environmental impact. For Greater Vancouver companies already relying on managed IT, adding MPS creates a unified approach to hardware, network, and document management.

How Managed Print Services Work: Our Proven Process at ITBC Pro

We follow a structured, phased approach customized to your business:

  1. Discovery & Assessment Phase Our team conducts a thorough on-site audit of your current print fleet. We map every device (printers, MFPs, copiers), analyze usage patterns (pages printed per user/department), identify hidden costs (overstocked supplies, inefficient models), and evaluate security risks (unsecured print queues).
  2. Strategy & Optimization Design Based on data, we recommend an optimized fleet—consolidating devices, standardizing models, and implementing rules-based printing (e.g., duplex default, secure release). We integrate with your existing network and IT infrastructure.
  3. Implementation & Deployment We handle hardware procurement (if needed), installation, configuration, driver rollout, and user training. Print policies are enforced via software for secure, efficient output.
  4. Ongoing Management & Support
    • Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance
    • Automatic toner/ink replenishment
    • 24/7 helpdesk support tied to our managed IT services
    • Monthly/quarterly reports on usage, costs, and savings
  5. Continuous Improvement Regular reviews to refine workflows, adopt new tech (e.g., cloud printing, mobile print), and align with sustainability targets.

This end-to-end process minimizes IT burden while delivering measurable ROI.

Key Benefits of Managed Print Services for Greater Vancouver Businesses

Partnering with ITBC Pro for MPS delivers tangible advantages tailored to local businesses facing rising costs, hybrid work challenges, and cybersecurity threats.

1. Significant Cost Savings (Often 20-50%)

Printing can account for 1-3% of annual revenue—yet most companies overspend due to unmanaged fleets. Our MPS:

  • Reduces total cost per page through optimized devices and volume purchasing
  • Eliminates waste (e.g., unnecessary color prints)
  • Shifts from CapEx (buying printers) to OpEx (predictable per-page billing)
  • Avoids emergency repair markups

Real-world results: Many clients see 30%+ savings in the first year.

2. Enhanced Productivity & Reduced Downtime

Printer issues disrupt workflows. With proactive monitoring:

  • Devices stay online with predictive alerts
  • Supplies arrive before you run out
  • Faster issue resolution via our 24/7 support

Employees focus on core work—not chasing toner or calling for fixes.

3. Strengthened Document & Data Security

Unsecured printers are entry points for breaches. Our MPS includes:

  • User authentication & secure release (follow-me printing)
  • Encrypted print paths
  • Audit logs for compliance (e.g., PIPEDA, industry regs)
  • Integration with your cybersecurity stack

Especially vital for Vancouver-area firms in healthcare, finance, legal, and non-profits.

4. Environmental Sustainability & Green Printing

Reduce paper waste, energy use, and carbon footprint:

  • Default duplex & eco-modes
  • Device consolidation lowers power consumption
  • Recycling programs for hardware & supplies

Aligns with BC’s sustainability goals and corporate ESG targets.

5. Streamlined IT Operations & Digital Transformation

Printing ties into your broader IT ecosystem. We integrate MPS with:

  • Cloud services (Microsoft 365, Azure/AWS)
  • Network security
  • Document management workflows

Supports shift to paperless processes, mobile printing, and automation.

6. Predictable Budgeting & Scalability

Move to per-page or subscription models—no surprise expenses. Easily scale as your business grows or adds locations in Greater Vancouver.

Who Needs Managed Print Services in Burnaby & Vancouver?

Managed Print Services (MPS) deliver the greatest value to organizations that rely heavily on printing as part of daily operations but struggle with the hidden costs, downtime, security gaps, and administrative burden that come with an unmanaged print environment.

Businesses and non-profits across Greater Vancouver typically see the strongest return on investment when they match one or more of the following profiles:

  • Organizations with 10 or more employees who print documents regularly — even moderate daily printing adds up quickly when devices are not optimized, supplies are over-purchased, or toner runs out at the worst possible moment.
  • Companies operating from multiple office locations or supporting hybrid / remote workforces — scattered printers, inconsistent device brands, and varying usage patterns create complexity that is difficult to manage in-house.
  • Businesses with high-volume or mission-critical document needs — law firms, accounting practices, educational institutions, healthcare clinics, real estate offices, and government contractors often produce hundreds or thousands of pages weekly and cannot afford delays, quality issues, or lost documents.
  • Teams looking to reduce IT and administrative overhead — if your staff spends time ordering supplies, troubleshooting printers, replacing toner, or waiting for repairs, MPS frees them to focus on revenue-generating work.
  • Organizations subject to strict compliance, data privacy, or cybersecurity requirements — any business that handles sensitive client information (PIPEDA, FOIPPA, HIPAA-aligned clinics, financial services, legal practices) benefits from built-in secure printing, user authentication, audit trails, and encrypted document release.
