Running a modern office in Utah — whether you’re a law firm in Salt Lake City, a school district in Davis County, or a healthcare practice in Weber County — means juggling more technology than ever before. Copiers, printers, phone systems, and document workflows all need to work together seamlessly. When they don’t, the cost isn’t just frustration: it’s wasted hours, security exposure, and money quietly draining from your bottom line.

This guide covers the core pillars of office technology that ABT helps Utah businesses optimize every day.

1. Multifunction Printers & Copiers

The days of separate printers, scanners, copiers, and fax machines are over. Today’s multifunction printers (MFPs) consolidate all of these into a single, network-connected device that can also integrate directly with your document management system, email, and cloud storage.

For Utah businesses, the right MFP depends on volume, industry, and workflow. A high-volume law firm needs a device with robust security features and PDF/A archiving. A school needs durability and simplified user controls. A medical practice needs HIPAA-compliant scan-to-folder routing.

What to look for in an MFP:

• Monthly duty cycle — match the device’s rated capacity to your actual volume (with room to grow)
• Security features — PIN printing, hard drive encryption, user authentication, and audit logging
• Connectivity — cloud integrations (Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive), mobile printing, and network scanning
• TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) — not just the lease payment, but toner yield, energy use, and service agreements

ABT carries leading brands including Sharp, Konica Minolta, and Kyocera, with options for every business size across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and Weber counties. Schedule a free assessment to find the right fit.

2. Managed Print Services (MPS)

Most organizations have no idea what they actually spend on printing. Toner costs, paper, maintenance, IT time, and device leases are often siloed across multiple budgets — making true print spend invisible. Managed Print Services (MPS) brings everything under one controlled, predictable program.

ABT’s MPS program serves businesses across the Wasatch Front, providing on-site service response times that national vendors simply can’t match. Learn more about ABT Managed Print Services →

3. Document Management Solutions

Paper-based workflows are one of the most persistent hidden costs in office operations. A study by IDC Research found that employees spend an average of 2.5 hours per day searching for documents — time that costs your business real money every single week.

Document management systems (DMS) solve this by digitizing, indexing, and automating the flow of information through your organization. For industries like legal, healthcare, and real estate — where document volume is high and compliance requirements are strict — a DMS isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Industries we serve with document management solutions:

• Legal firms — client file management, court document workflows, confidentiality controls
• Healthcare — HIPAA-compliant patient records, intake forms, e-signatures
• Education — student records, permission slips, administrative workflows
• Real estate — purchase agreements, disclosures, lease management

4. VoIP & Business Phone Systems

Traditional landline phone systems are rapidly becoming a liability. They’re expensive to maintain, difficult to scale, and can’t keep up with hybrid and remote work demands. Voice over IP (VoIP) phone systems deliver enterprise-grade communication over your existing internet connection — at a fraction of the cost.

ABT helps Utah businesses evaluate, deploy, and support VoIP systems tailored to their size and industry. Talk to an ABT specialist about your phone system →

5. Wide Format Printing

Not all printing fits on letter-size paper. Engineering firms, architects, schools, and real estate professionals all have a regular need for large-format output — blueprints, site plans, banners, signage, and presentation graphics.

ABT’s wide-format solutions bring that capability in-house, eliminating the cost and wait time of outsourcing large print jobs to a third party. Explore wide format options with ABT →

6. Print Security & Compliance

Your MFP is a network endpoint — and like any networked device, it’s a potential attack surface. Documents left on printer trays, unencrypted hard drives inside copiers, and open printer ports are all real vulnerabilities that regulators (and attorneys) take seriously.

ABT conducts complimentary print security audits for Utah businesses as part of our risk-free assessment. We’ll identify vulnerabilities and recommend remediation — no obligation required.

Choosing the Right Office Technology Partner in Utah

National vendors can ship equipment. What they can’t provide is a local technician who knows your building, understands your industry, and can be on-site in Salt Lake City the same day something goes wrong.

Here’s what to evaluate when choosing an office technology partner:

• Local service coverage — can they provide same-day or next-day on-site support?
• Brand depth — do they carry multiple manufacturers so you get the right device, not just what they’re trying to move?
• Full-service capability — hardware, software, networking, and support under one roof
• Industry experience — have they worked with businesses like yours before?
• Transparent contracts — no hidden fees in service agreements
