Let’s face it. The latest and greatest term in the printing industry today is Managed Print Services (MPS).
It is truly amazing that everyone claims to have the best solution for you. If you are in IT or a CFO/COO, you have probably received multiple calls regarding MPS. You may have even gone through an assessment or signed a contract for MPS already. The bottom line is that MPS means many different things — there is no universal definition.
