Managed Document Services

Where Does the Money Go?

Money is wasted in all sorts of ways you don't see: Unnecessary devices, wasted resources and inefficient hardware. High-paid staff spend precious time on simple printer issues and endless hours are lost dealing with different suppliers and vendors.

With Gold Managed Document Services (MDS), you can optimise your entire output set-up. By providing a comprehensive bundle of services to streamline your output management, we can reduce the workload of your IT department and cut your environmental impact.

We conduct a careful analysis of your company's structure and needs. Then we create a detailed programme to target your specific issues. The results are significant: large cost reductions and valuable administrational benefits.

No matter what size your company is, you will gain from Gold MDS.        

Gold MDS optimises your entire document environment in five flexible, carefully designed phases.

Customised to the size and unique requirements of your business, our process starts by identifying weak spots in your current infrastructure before seamlessly implementing solutions to cut costs and improve ongoing performance.

Assess - Look Everywhere

We begin by gathering data and understanding your business.  This includes a professional assessment of your entire document environment – from fleet audit to financial, volumetric and energy data.  Using in-depth analyses, as well as interviews and surveys, our assessment phase highlights all areas of wastage and poor productivity across your organisation. The result is a clear report showing exactly where money can be saved and processes optimised.  

As part of the assessment, we analyse the following vital areas:

• Finances: Understanding exactly where the money is being spent
• Devices and consumables: Their efficiency, suitability and maintenance costs
• Workflows: Whether productivity can be improved through smarter software
• Documents: How efficiently and securely they are being printed, stored, managed and distributed
• Environmental impact: Where you can save energy and reduce your carbon footprintand removed simply by exchanging devices.

Design - Look for a Customised Solution

The design phase is all about your business: Your size, your budget, your targets and performance requirements. Our solution will be a perfect fit: The ideal combination of hardware, software and process development to generate the maximum return on investment.

• Solution design: With a comprehensive portfolio of software, we improve workflows, system control, resource efficiency and document security

Implement - Looking after your bottom line

Our priority during implementation is to have the least impact on your day-to-day business – minimising downtime and risk. That's why implementation is overseen by a professional project management team and carried out by highly qualified technicians and engineers.

We can even work around your business hours, or at weekends, to ensure the least possible disruption.

Reduced costs - Less environmental impact. More security.

Increased employee productivity and satisfaction. Gold MDS has many practical advantages.

Economic: COMPLETE COST TRANSPARENCY AND SAVINGS OF UP TO 30%

There are several ways MDS can reduce your total cost of ownership:

• Reducing the use of consumables such as paper and toner.
• Cutting energy costs.
• Lowering service and support costs.
• You can set up binding print policies that determine when colour printing systems may be used, thereby avoiding unnecessary costs.
• Because the age and lifetimes of the systems are all known, cost drivers can be easily identified and removed simply by exchanging devices.

Optimisation: INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION.

Clearly measurable benefits also arise from other less cost-driven benefits:

• Increasing productivity through optimised workflows, reduced down-times and minimising the workload of IT staff who look after your fleet.
• State-of-the-art output solutions make document management faster and more effective: eg automated capture, distribution and archiving of regular documents like bills, purchase orders or insurance applications.
• Optimised device management saves time and reduces staff frustration: It decreases the time spent waiting for documents due to overuse and ensures proximity to the work area where employees need it most.

Hassle-free: PROFESSIONAL, CUSTOMISED AND FROM A SINGLE SOURCE.

With only one point of contact, MDS saves you trouble and manpower.

• We supply you with everything you need for every printer and multifunctional device, regardless of the brand.
• We take on all maintenance and repair services, both for our own printers and copiers as well as those of other manufacturers.
• Remote Monitoring system: We recognise deviances in the functioning of a device and react quickly whenever needed without having to be on-site.

Eco-friendly: IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT.

Gold MDS helps reduce your energy and resource consumption, improving your balance sheet ecologically as well as economically.

• We improve environmental sustainability through economic software applications and ECOsys technology.
• By consolidating your hardware and using electronic data management, you take a big step forward in energy efficiency.
• We can advise on the conversion of your fleet to energy-saving printers and copiers that will make an even larger difference to your energy costs.
• Other services include: Using recycled paper, developing company-specific disposal concepts and implementing a company “print policy” that requires employees to be be more ecologically considerate.

Secure: IMPROVED MONITORING AND PROTECTION OF DATA AND DOCUMENTS.

No matter what line of business you are in, your documents and network hold vital information. You have an obligation to protect your client’s documents and your customer’s private data. Gold MDS offers additional security through authorised access to devices and networks, as well as by keeping tighter controls on what is being printed.
