A holistic approach to document management

Managed Document Services (MDS) is a managed service (ie. an outsourced service) that goes beyond Managed Print Services (MPS).

Whereas MPS is all about print systems and document output, MDS includes MPS, but more widely focuses on document management –the entire document output process, from capture to output, extending to document security, privacy and governance.

But MDS does more than that. MDS, as a managed solution, is all about driving business growth and profitability through greater efficiencies in document management. Your MDS provider is your business partner, and the focus is very much on productivity and cost management. What is more, MDS usually has as its corollary significant environmental savings, which is a terrific step forward that will give your firm a sense of progressiveness, and for some large firms, some measure of political capital.

A methodological approach is taken to fully assess your requirements and a highly customised solution is designed commensurate to your needs. Your MDS provider is instrumental at every stage of the implementation process, and invaluable in providing training and support, along with transition and change management assistance. With your entire document workflow completely streamlined, you’ll be free to focus on your business, delivering value to your customers!

The efficiencies gained from MDS make it the most revolutionary managed service to date. If your business is suffering from a decentralised, rigid and complex printing process, resulting in delays, inconsistencies and damages to output quality, then MDS is for you. Don’t hesitate, discuss with your management team and arrange a consultation with a specialist provider. Three worthy of consideration are Canon, Ricoh and Kyocera.
