Measures of Success: A Candid Look Inside Champion MPS Providers
Perfect MPS Assessment: Building Your MPSAssessment Practice to Be Structured And Repeatable
Ken Stewart, Photizo Group
West McDonald, FocusMPS
Successful leaders understand that measures of success are critical to effective execution. Learn what “good” looks like and what typically trips providers up in delivering managed print services (MPS). Based on a select pool of successful providers, the Hybrid Provider Index provides a researchdriven reference point for providers to realistically benchmark their performance and confidently set goals. Walk away with a clear understanding of how you compare to best-in-class benchmarks and some practical tips for sidestepping costly landmines when going to market with MPS.
Having somebody who can conduct an MPS Assessment is a good start. But as your practice grows it seems your team members all have different approaches. You wonder how to make your assessment approach more consistent, predictable, cost-effective, and less time-consuming. Most importantly, how do you streamline the process to sell more MPS contracts. Join West McDonald for a foundational session as he steps through the critical elements of building an Assessment Methodology and use the information to build a practice that will set your MPS business ahead of the competition. 3

Managed Print Challenges and Issues from the Field
John Taylor, M2
Stephen Pye, Acert Associates Ltd
A series of case studies are presented on highlighting how MPS has been delivered through broader partnerships with It outsourcing companies, BPO companies and office supply companies. This highlights the varied attraction and routes to market in which MPS can be sourced and how MPS providers need to be open to develop a range of partnerships to secure MPS opportunities, as they can’t all be delivered directly.
Stephen Pye brings his personal perspective and a few lessons learned along the path to enlightenment, specifically around the transform maturity model. This sessions is primarily died at dealers and providers but client-side attendees should gain some benefit from insight into supply chain thinking.

Rule Breakers: Getting Customers On-Board with Print Rules
The Next Step – Printer Asset Management
Robert Newry, Newfield IT
Ori Eizenberg, Preton
Why disparate sources of data in every managed print service provider can be linked to provide important business insight on contract performance.
Print rules reduce unnecessary printing and lower printing-related costs, but successfully implementing them is a constant battle. Customers are passionate about print, try taking away color printing or a personal printer, you could lose a hand.

James Lothian, CTMS CTMS outlines how printer management can benefit from utilising enterprise technology asset management solutions. Printer management is often seen as a specific area of responsibility, but adopting joined up thinking to integrate multiple systems and data sources can provide substantial efficiency gains and cost savings for all technology management.
