Assessment & Design

Art House Managed Services has been Implemented for many years and are now proven in hundreds of implementations.

Although the service provides substantial (and sustainable) savings and improvements in productivity it is important to note that this is not at the cost of disruption to your business.

Our overriding concern is to make the transition as smooth and efficient as possible through rigorous planning and attention to detail, supported by open dialogue and engagement with your workforce.

4 Steps to Success

4 Steps to Success

Step One: Assess

This is where we develop a thorough understanding of your current document infrastructure, your processes and your requirements. As well as detailed analysis of financial data, this stage also includes the engagement of key users and support staff, because experience shows that 'buy in' from at least one senior executive and other stakeholder is crucial.

Step Two: Design

This addresses the issues identified in the Assess phase and sets out the most appropriate way forward for your particular organization, with an emphasis on the 'quick wins' of streamlining the procurement of consumables, optimizing your existing technology base and adding additional capabilities where needed.

Step Three: Implement

The goal now is to set up and introduce the various services, communications, agreements and technologies in a way that will allow us to meet the contracted requirements. Implementation can include disposal, redeployment and replacement of equipment as well as changes to established workflows and other processes.

Methodology

Lean Six Sigma

Lean Six Sigma

Every implementation of Art House Managed Print Services has at its heart a comprehensive Lean Six Sigma based assessment.

With this, we capture and analyze the actual costs to manage your document output, assets, infrastructure and workflow.

The information that we compile includes full cost and usage data by user, document type, device and workgroup. The assessment provides a total cost of ownership (TCO) model as the baseline from which to target and measure improvements.

Continuous Improvements

Continuous Improvements

Because it is metrics-based, our approach enables continuous process improvements. Once the baseline is clearly established and understood, we’ll work with you to implement the most appropriate support processes and tools for device management, print queue management, and print driver management.

We can control and manage most of your office printers, regardless of vendor. The tools and technologies integrate with your existing technology infrastructure and support all aspects of your document output processes, including Managed Print Service, Digitization and Digitalization Process Workflow.

From Assessment to Implementation

From Assessment to Implementation

Art House Managed Print Services provides end-to-end management of every aspect of your current print environment, delivered through a range of technologies and processes of the Art House Office Services Technology Suite – which are implemented by a team of Art House Document Professionals.

Managed Print Services as a part of The Art House Office Services Technology Suite includes a full range of powerful tools that enable Art House professionals to analyze report on and manage every aspect of your organization’s document output.

Assessment

Assessment

We will analyze your existing cost structure at an early stage – including the costs per page, user, device and workgroup – and then continue to provide regular reports once the service has been implemented.

An essential first step as well as an indispensable process for supporting the long-term objectives of the service, the goal is to measure and monitor the true (but often hidden) costs of creating and using documents. This helps all parties to understand exactly what gains have been made and where the potential exists to create further efficiencies.

Planning

Planning

With your true costs properly analyzed and recorded, the team can move on to streamline your company’s print operations, reducing waste while making sure that you have the right equipment in the right place to meet the needs of your employees.

Control is further improved by the timely supply of appropriate stocks of consumables and single-point monthly billing. The ultimate goal is to generate sustainable long-term savings as well as immediate cost reductions

Design

Design

Any change that we recommend to the way you create, manage and use documents in your organization must first pass the test of:

a) Does it make a real and sustainable difference in terms of cost savings and efficiency improvements, and
b) Can it be implemented with minimum disruption, seamlessly integrating with your existing processes to deliver the best possible return on investment.

Implement

Implement

You can expect substantial gains in productivity from your new document infrastructure and significantly fewer interruptions. Not only will your fleet be more reliable and better suited to the needs of your business but you will have access to faster workflows and more efficient technology that help everyone to work more quickly and productively.

Manage

Manage

Once the right equipment is in the right place we’ll remotely monitor each device, watching for any signs which indicate that a potential problem is developing. This ‘early warning system’ lets us react to solve the issue before your staff can be inconvenienced by equipment failure. Plus, we can offer a full range of installation, configuration, help desk, training and technical support services to completely remove the burden of supporting your fleet.

Security

Security

Even accidental interception of confidential information (documents left lying in a printer’s output tray, for instance) can have unfortunate consequences. Deliberate attacks are even more dangerous.

Art House Managed Print Services gives you exactly the levels of security that you need, with solutions ranging from controlling access to each device right through to you providing a fully secure document infrastructure, complete with a detailed audit trail and the storage of data ate a secure ISO certified facility.
