BURLINGTON, Mass., – March 22, 2011 – Managed Print Services (MPS) have become the transformative business model in the printing and imaging industry. The recent economic climate has reinforced the primary driver of MPS of cost avoidance through reduction of printing, but it has also expanded the demands by customers to deliver on another part of the cost equation – increasing worker productivity and automating business processes. As a result, organizations are expanding their MPS requirements to include Managed Document Services (MDS.)

With customer pressure to deliver continuous, quantifiable benefits to print and imaging processes, MPS providers will need to expand from print device management to also focus on automating document processes and workflows. This means document capture services will play an increasingly important role in MPS by providing front-office document scanning and workflow capabilities from network multifunction devices. Nuance eCopy ShareScan and eCopy PDF Pro Office are at the forefront of MDS initiatives.

“When MPS providers only focus on improving document output efficiencies and reducing print costs, they are delivering incomplete solutions,” said Bill DeStefanis, Senior Manager, MFP Product Management, Nuance Document Imaging. “MPS needs to optimize the document lifecycle – from capture to output – with Managed Document Services delivered in a global model, localized across languages with consistent worldwide support. Only then will organizations realize the measurable productivity gains and cost savings that MPS promises.”
