A managed print service provides users with a consistent printing experience across government. It offers modern printers, repair services and an ongoing supply of toner under a lease and cost-per-page model.
Why managed print?
- Ministries can anticipate significant cost avoidance as a result of the managed print agreement.
- It provides government with a cost-effective just-in-time automated toner supply, a more secure printing environment, more energy-efficient printers, and a printer fleet size that matches business needs.
Transition to managed printers
The managed print agreement supports printers currently used by clients of the IT Division of SaskBuilds and Procurement. Printers used by agencies and affiliates that are not SaskBuilds and Procurement IT Division-supported ministries and agencies are not in the scope of this agreement at this time.For printers covered under the new managed print agreement, we expect the replacement of government’s fleet to happen in a phased after a fleet assessment and optimization is done.
The schedule of replacements is being handled by WBM and is based on the fleet assessment and optimization, using a location-by-location strategy and considering printer age and rental or lease expiry dates.
Pricing
The new managed print program operates on a lease and cost per page basis.The new network-connected printers offered through the managed print program track the number of pages they print each month.
