SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Significant insight was provided with respect to many elements as highlighted below: Emphasizing that Managed Print Services (MPS) is a service rather than a product-based offering and the steps required to effectively implement an MPS solution, including the structure of contractual and service level agreements; striking a balance between relying on single vendors to provide far-reaching solutions and the need to provide fair opportunities to all suppliers; Interest in government departments to move towards increased efficiency through print environment optimization and effective fleet management; need to continue emphasis on environmental considerations, including emerging standards such as IEEE 1680.2 for imaging equipment; need for balance in applying controls to enhance productivity instead of simply cutting costs; Evolving trends concerning the needs of mobile workers and how cloud computing underpins the service aspect of printing in the future; Providing focus on reduction of printing through the use of business intelligence, leading to the planning and implementation of rules-based solutions that provide enhanced efficiency and effectiveness; and, finally Insight on the expected next steps of MPS evolution, namely: Enterprise Content Management, Information workflow, and Configuration management.
The advice provided by industry will assist PWGSC with the implementation of the final strategy including the promotion of print optimization and better fleet management, maintaining and improving the use of standing offers, and conducting MPS pilot projects within the Government of Canada. Pilot projects will be considered in cases where:
Suppliers and government departments are in a state of readiness; Potential risks and mitigation strategies have been identified; and Monitoring mechanisms have been identified to measure progress.
