Managed Print Services (MPS)
Often
when we first start working with businesses and organizations, we commonly find
that having a total understanding of all the costs they are spending on
managing their print environment is a complete mystery. As a result, it becomes
difficult to identify, contain, and control an expense that is usually 3-5% of
an organizations total annual budget.
I’d
like to share a couple of ideas with you based on our experiences of
successfully matching businesses to the different Managed Print Services
options we have. These would be within our portfolio of the industry’s leading
print management programs. I’d also like to see if it makes sense for us to have
a conversation around your organization’s goals and objectives. In that
conversation, I think you will find several interesting subjects around how
some of the below benefits of a MPS Program can help achieve these future goals
and objectives.
Real
world reasons to consider implementing a Managed Print Services program for
your business:
·
Reduce service costs by
avoiding high costs of per-call service
·
Standardize printer devices,
drivers, and cartridges
·
Consolidate vendors and contracts
·
Simplify business processes
around procurement and accounts payable
·
Allow proactive management
of predictable printing budgets
·
Optimize printer performance
and extend life=ROI
·
Take a “Greener”
eco-friendly approach to printing with reduced electrical bills
·
Improve print fleet
efficiency by directing print jobs to more cost effective devices
·
Free up money tied up in
supply inventory with “just-in-time” toner replenishment
·
Eliminate calls to your Help
Desk and allow IT to focus on core initiatives
·
Free up
capital for core investments and improve cash flow
The
last point in red is a one of the biggest reasons I find myself working with
other businesses and organizations. Once we are able to gain an understanding
of where all the costs really are, we are typically finding up to a 30% cost
savings in a properly managed print environment. By being able to recoup some
of the dollars being spent within their organizations, they are able to invest
those savings in areas of their business tied directly to achieving their goals
and objectives.

Turn Page
I just started doing some freelance work with Turn-page.com.
We work with companies just likes yours from all over the world and we
have developed a program that specifically helps Publishers
increase revenue, increase readership and decrease costs.
We do this by taking the PDF files that you send to the
printer and convert them to a Flash based format so now your readers can flip
through the publication on their computer as if they were flipping through the
printed copy in front of them. Once we
have done this we can add audio, video, hyperlinks etc… we have a stats tool
that tracks each page that has been flipped, how much time spent on each page,
each link that has been clicked, how many times it has been clicked and so
on. We include all of this in our price.
Would you be interested in seeing how your PDF file would
look using our software at no charge? Send me, turnpage@itinfoguy.com, an 8-10 page PDF that I will do a demo conversion for. If you like what we do, we can then discuss the entire publication.
Something else we can do:
Turn-Page Mobile app developed for the iPhone and iPad. Get your publications on the fastest growing mobile platform.

IBackUp, do You?
How often do you back up your personal data at home? In the world of professional IT this is a fundamental which causes tremendous grief when overlooked. It always seems that disaster strikes when we miss performing this critical function. What's even more troubling is that as IT professionals, as soon as we walk through the doors at home, we do not apply the same principles in our personal life, which left me wondering what is going on in the lives of ordinary citizens the world over who are entrusting more of their data to the digital age.
Many years ago, when I went to the PC builder to buy a whitebox solution, he had asked me how much memory I thought I would need, to which my answer was the most available, roughly twenty gigabytes. This reminds me of the old Bill Gates quote, "640K ought to be enough for anybody," because the system builder mentioned, "20 gigabytes? That's too big a hard drive!" That was 1998 when 20 gigabytes seemed like overkill. We no longer speak of gigabytes with the same awe, now it is terabytes and petabytes.
Now we are on the cusp of a revolution in digital technology! Where we once had hard copy CD's, DVD's, photos, books and documents, we are now moving to delivery and storage of these same items digitally. The time is fast approaching where if a brick and mortar record store exists, it will exist for one of two reasons: A) to sell antiques; or more likely B) to download content. What is even more likely, is that we will simply download the content from the comfort of our homes.
This brings up a few issues. Old media such as CD's, VHS tapes, and DVD's will eventually either need to be converted to digital or be reacquired in a digital format. The other issue is that digital productions are not absolute. At some point backing up and storing our digital content securely from our homes will be a driving concern for us ordinary folks.
With old media, we rarely ever made copies because we never expected the house to burn down, if it did, it hurt to lose a collection lovingly established and enjoyed over the years, but that was just bad luck. Now, we have hard drive failures which is a lot more common than a burning house.
When it comes to the new age of digital content, we have our main source of storage, and some smart people keep a secondary source such as an external hard drive to mitigate against a drive failure. We may not have a completely up to date backup on the external equipment but at least we do not lose everything.
This still leaves the problem of disaster. In the case of a disaster, your digital data is at a high risk. Your now terabytes of data which you may have spent thousands of dollars on can be lost in the blink of an eye. My suggested solution is to look towards a cloud (online) backup solution for anything critical. This solves two issues, backup and disaster recovery. It does so, by backing up to a location not anywhere near your immediate vicinity. If you have a disaster at home, once you are able to log into a computer anywhere, you can retrieve your information, which means your music, movie, photos, and literature libraries are safe.
There are a few companies leading the way in online backup platforms, such as iBackUp. Do yourself the favor and make sure you backup. If you do backup, start to consider a disaster recovery solution appropriate to your means and your budget. If you can afford to, make your backup solution your disaster recovery solution.

Meraki Wireless Fall Newsletter
From the Meraki Fall Newsletter
New Enterprise Feature: Meraki Traffic Shaper
Meraki Traffic Shaper lets you:
Back to School with Meraki
This year we've had numerous K-12 schools, major universities, law schools, and multi-site colleges deploy Meraki to support their students and staff. We wish everyone a happy and productive school year!
Preparing Your Network for the Onslaught of iPads, Droids, and iPhones: Analyst Webinar on Oct. 20, 11:00 a.m. PT
If mobile devices are not yet on your network, chances are they will be soon, or you will face angry users (likely including a few executives). These devices are invading networks of all shapes and sizes, introducing new management constraints and security considerations, and forcing administrators everywhere to decide just how open their networks should be.
New Free WiFi Tools
We've had over 100,000 users download the WiFi Stumbler, and now we're excited to announce two new tools to help you optimize and troubleshoot wireless networks: Android Stumbler and WiFi Mapper. These tools are free and are compatible with all wireless networks from any vendor.
Want to do a site survey without carrying your laptop around? Android Stumbler, a mobile version of the WiFi Stumbler, lets you conduct site surveys and track down rogue APs using your Android 2.0 mobile device. CIO Update named Android Stumbler one of the top ten Android business applications! Check it out here.
Wondering about your wireless "black holes"? WiFi Mapper, the first browser-based wireless site survey and planning tool, allows you to generate a heat map display of 802.11 network throughput and signal strength. It's easy to use – try it here.New Enterprise Feature: Meraki Traffic Shaper
Where did my bandwidth go?
As mission-critical applications increasingly compete with bandwidth-intensive recreational applications like video streaming and peer-to-peer file sharing, the ability to intelligently control wireless traffic means better business application performance. Meraki Traffic Shaper is the first intelligent bandwidth control integrated directly into a wireless solution. We're excited to share it with you!
- Analyze network traffic by application or application class
- Enforce traffic shaping policies (e.g., limit each user's P2P traffic)
- Stay up to date with constantly updated application signatures
- Prioritize critical applications using QoS policies
Traffic Shaper recognizes hundreds of recreational and business applications—and Meraki's cloud-based architecture enables Traffic Shaper to continually learn from the usage patterns of Meraki's millions of users, thereby increasing accuracy.
Traffic Shaper will be available for use by all Meraki Enterprise customers, with no additional hardware or software, and at no additional cost. Learn more about Traffic Shaper here.Back to School with Meraki
We were excited that Alvin Independent School District in Brazoria County, Texas, selected Meraki to serve its 17,000 students and 2,000 staff members. The district's ongoing 1:1 project for junior high means that every sixth, seventh, and eighth grade student has a handheld computing device in the classroom. Replacing the paper and pencil model, students at Alvin ISD read, write, solve problems, and get feedback from teachers through these devices.
This summer the district upgraded its technology to offer every junior high student an HP Netbook—an exciting initiative that also required an upgrade to a more robust, reliable wireless network. With a few student helpers, the Alvin ISD network team successfully deployed nearly 600 Meraki MR14 APs across 20 campuses before school started.
Remington College also chose Meraki to support its 10,000 students and 1,400 faculty and staff across 20 campuses in the Southeast United States and Hawaii. Now approximately 700 Gigabytes are transferred across the multi-site network every week. This year we've had numerous K-12 schools, major universities, law schools, and multi-site colleges deploy Meraki to support their students and staff. We wish everyone a happy and productive school year!

These devices are invading networks of all shapes and sizes, introducing new management constraints and security considerations, and forcing administrators everywhere to decide just how open their networks should be.
In this webinar, analyst Andre Kindness from Forrester Research and Kiren Sekar from Meraki will share best practices for preparing your network for these devices and the applications that run on them. Andre, who specializes in network infrastructure, will share trends and lessons learned from enterprises and campuses on the bleeding edge of mobile adoption.
