It has been quite a week in the world of financial services. Every second counts—and so does every dollar. If your Salt Lake City firm hasn’t taken a closer look at its print environment, you could be overlooking a significant source of waste and inefficiency. Unmanaged printing not only drives up expenses but also introduces security risks and operational slowdowns that affect your bottom line.
As tax season brings your firm’s financials into sharp focus, it’s the perfect time to assess one of the most overlooked aspects of your office infrastructure: your printers. Managed Print Services (MPS) from Associated Business Technologies can help you reduce costs, increase efficiency, and better protect sensitive client information.
The Real Cost of Unmanaged Printing
Many financial offices underestimate how much they spend on printing. Toner, paper, energy use, frequent breakdowns, and last-minute supply orders add up fast—especially without oversight. If you don’t know how many pages your team prints each month or how many devices are actually in use, you’re likely throwing money away.
Unmanaged printing also leads to:
- Redundant or underutilized devices
- Reactive maintenance instead of proactive care
- Excessive supply purchasing
- Security vulnerabilities from unsecured print jobs
- Unnecessary energy consumption
All of this strains your operational budget and reduces your team’s productivity—two things no financial firm can afford.
