Quick answer

What are managed print services?

Managed print services (MPS) are outsourced services that manage your organization's printers, multifunction devices, supplies, maintenance, support, reporting, and print-related costs.

With Microserve, you get a structured approach to print management from assessment and optimization to ongoing service and support.

For Vancouver businesses, MPS answers three questions
1 How much are we really spending on printing?
2 Are our printers secure, reliable, and placed in the right locations?
3 Can we reduce waste, downtime, and IT workload?

The challenge

Take control of your print environment

Unmanaged print environments often create hidden costs and daily frustration. Many organizations don't know how many printers they have, how much they spend on toner, which devices are underused, or how often IT is pulled into printer issues.

Microserve assesses your current environment, identifies inefficiencies, and builds a managed print strategy that supports your people, locations, workflows, and budget.

Common challenges
Unpredictable print and toner costs
Frequent printer downtime
Slow or inconsistent support
Too many printer models and supply types
Lack of visibility into usage and spending
Unsecured network-connected devices
Wasteful colour printing
Aging printers with rising maintenance costs
IT spending time on printers instead of strategic work

What's included

What Microserve's managed print services include

A complete print management solution, not just printer repair. From the first assessment through ongoing optimization.

Print environment assessment

Every managed print program starts with a clear understanding of your current environment — fleet, usage, costs, and total cost of ownership.

Device count, age, and performance
Monthly volume, colour vs. black-and-white
Toner consumption and service history
Device placement and security settings

Fleet optimization

The right devices, in the right locations, for the right users — reducing maintenance overhead and total cost of ownership.

Keep, replace, consolidate, relocate, or retire
Consolidate brands and models
Reduce desktop printer dependency
Plan future refresh cycles

Proactive maintenance & support

Regular servicing, automated alerts, and experienced support teams stop many disruptions before they reach users.

Reduced printer downtime
Fewer emergency service calls
Fewer repeat IT tickets
Fewer unexpected repair costs

Toner & supplies management

Automated monitoring and replenishment mean toner arrives before you run out — no manual checks or emergency orders.

Avoid toner shortages
Reduce emergency purchases
Prevent unnecessary stockpiling
Simplify supply ordering

Print security

Modern MFPs are connected endpoints that process and transmit sensitive information. We help close the gaps.

Secure print release and user authentication
Device access controls and firmware management
Print policy enforcement
Support for compliance-focused environments

Reporting & cost visibility

If you can't see print usage, you can't manage it. Stronger reporting shows where money is spent and where to improve.

High-volume and underused devices
Excessive colour printing
Department-level usage trends
Cost-per-page patterns

Sustainability

In BC, print management is also a sustainability conversation. Smarter fleet management supports practical ESG goals.
