Who fixes the printer in your company?  Is it your valued IT professional or staff?  Think back to why you hired the information technology guru in the first place – for their technical expertise.  Now a majority of their day is bogged down with several administrative tasks not related to anything IT critical.  Businesses benefit most from information technology professionals when they are utilized for the successful running of their networks and computer systems, not fixing paper jams or replacing new copier toner. 

Did you know that, on average, 50% of IT help desk calls are related to printer or copier dysfunction.  Could you imagine if your IT staff never touches your print equipment again?  Their expensive billable hours would be freed up to focus on mission critical objectives to increase competitive advantage in the marketplace or other internal initiatives such as security updating and system upgrades.
