Océ Performance Programme - Effectiveness

Focus on your primary tasks

Have you ever checked how much time people in your organisation spend on secondary document-related issues? For example all the time spent by your IT professionals in getting meter readings right, or in configuring and maintaining devices. Or the time and money spent on ordering, storage and replenishment of consumables. Good fleet and printer management can help your staff save valuable time, so they can focus on more important tasks.

As well as that, how much time do office workers lose searching for the right printer? It’s always surprising to see how many 100+ page documents are still produced every day on costly desktop printers. That’s why you can make big time and cost savings by right-sizing your fleet and making sure your staff have easy access to your printroom, or to more productive and cost efficient printers.

Focus on your core business

Is your company in the document printing business? Then take a closer look at your printing costs. Average print-related costs are 3% of yearly revenues (source: Gartner). That means 3% of your revenues are spent on something that is not your core business. Most companies don’t have the expertise to manage these costs effectively. Which is underlined by the fact that savings of up to 30% can be achieved in this area. That’s why it’s a good idea to outsource your printing infrastructure to Océ professionals, so you can focus on your own core activities.

Be effective in your communication

How aware are you of how your office colour machines are used? Is access limited to just a few fortunate users, or do you have a policy on the use of colour? Effective colour usage is not only about printing your marketing materials in colour for optimum presentation. Studies show that colour can also be extremely effective in other documents. For example:

• Invoices are paid more quickly (by up to 30%)

• Colour helps you study more effectively (by up to 80%)

• Colour document response rates are higher than black & white (by up to 40%)

• Surveys sent out in colour can achieve 80% higher response rates

As well as colour, the right kind of finishing (e.g. inline booklet makers) can also drastically improve the appearance and effectiveness of your documents.
