A 10 step guide to writing an invitation to tender for MPS
Managed print services (MPS) mean different things to different people and one size does not fit all.
Your organisation or department may have many objectives when it comes to a MPS, including cost reductions, reliability, uptime, quality, time savings, environmental sustainability, document security, integration with business processes, staff productivity, or all of the above.
The workplace is also changing with an increased emphasis on mobility, cloud services, big data, analytics and social media, and staff and employees have come to expect a new and different way of getting things done.
As such, this report, written in partnership with Xenith, describes ten of the most important questions to ask when writing an invitation to tender for MPSs.
