OUTPUT SOLUTIONS

THE ROUTE TO A SOPHISTICATED OUTPUT INFRASTRUCTURE

What type of equipment, and how much, is needed for fluid work processes? How can the continuous supply of consumables for multifunction printers and copiers be guaranteed? And how can the cost of the consumables be made transparent? These are just some of the questions we can answer with a coherent and individually tailored output concept. The fully integrated concept combines technical, commercial, and process expertise, CHG-MERIDIAN's core competency, and enables the customer to efficiently manage their IT and work with it.

STRATEGIES FOR SMOOTH OPERATION

The concept of the paperless office has grown in importance over recent years. In light of the ever-increasing flood of information that companies are faced with, it is vital that they review their way of working and their processes. This requires the development of workflows that reach beyond the confines of the company. Digitalization often fails because media breaks prevent consistent work processes and reduce productivity. Thanks to our experts' knowledge of the market and the latest trends, CHG-MERIDIAN can offer customized business concepts that produce the digital office of tomorrow and increase convenience and efficiency at work.

RELIABLE AND FORWARD-LOOKING

  • High equipment uptime through specific service concepts and processes
  • Harmonized technology landscape
  • Usage-related optimization of equipment
  • Location planning for optimal equipment placement
  • printscout® and tesma: monitor print volumes, manage and optimize consumables procurement, provide timely maintenance alerts
  • Long-term procurement strategy for consumables
  • Identification of new trends and market changes, and continuous optimization of the portfolio

Output solutions significantly reduce costs

Purchasing an output device is just the tip of the iceberg, as on average the purchase only accounts for a quarter of all costs over the entire useful life. Below the surface lurk further cost drivers such as IT administration, maintenance and support, the consumption of toner, paper, and energy, and storage and logistics. CHG-MERIDIAN's output solutions identify potential savings and combine the best possible technical approach with various financing benefits to provide the most economical package.

FULL TRANSPARENCY OF THE OVERALL COSTS

  • Full-service approach and constant monitoring of all technical and commercial processes
  • Various leasing models, such as 'rent plus click' (basic rent including hardware and servicing)
  • IFRS-compliant billing models, based on usage and allocated to the right cost center
  • Flexible leasing, tailored to your budget plans
  • All the benefits of leasing: liquidity protection and zero impact on the balance sheet
