Our Recommendations by Function |
| Copier | Key Considerations | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Requirements are not 100% clear or may change | Usage requirements: Volume by black and white versus color, usage patterns and required features Current needs versus future needs: Will the copier you select today suit your needs for the next 3-5 years? |

| Copier requirements are often not fully assessed and/or business needs willl change over the standard copier lease period of 3 to 5 years. In such cases, the inefficiencies of the initial model/configuraiton decision will result in negatively impacting the organzation for that same duration. Futher, the choices of model/configuration is often based upon the lowest price bid. To meet a given price point, a unit with lower specifications can be offered. This results in the unit wearing out before the end of the lease and service issues increase. The solution then is to replace the unit prior to the lease term completion. In this case, the remaining lease amount is rolled into the new lease on a new unit and therefore inflating the lease price for this new unit alone. Buying the wrong unit at a low price results in just paying more in staff inefficiencies and inflated lease costs as the residual lease payments are rolled into each new lease. | ||
| Scanning | Key Requirements | For |
|---|---|---|
| Personal or Departmental | Your work requires concentrarion, but supporting tasks are necessary. When they are, develop them to be simple and fast so you are not distracted from your primary focus. Business Office: At your desk or the desk of your support staff, a scanner provides convenience and avoids stopping your primary activities to walk over to a scanner. Home Office: Can be an effective resource when you can do all aspects of your work there, versus needing to go into the office for selected tasks. Combined: Using the same device in each location makes the process identical to you so any specific methods you have developed are not different in each location. |
