What Is MPS? A Simple Guide to Managed Print Solutions

If you have ever felt confused about printing costs, frustrated by broken devices, or overwhelmed by toner orders, you are not alone. For many businesses, printing just happens. Until it doesn't...

That is where MPS comes in. Managed Print Solutions provide a smarter way to look after your printers, helping you save money, reduce waste, and keep everything running smoothly without hassle.

Whether you have one printer or a full fleet across multiple offices, MPS takes the stress off your team so they can focus on what matters most.

What Does MPS Actually Mean?

Managed Print Solutions (MPS) is a service that helps businesses manage their entire print environment, including:

  • Devices such as printers, multifunction devices, and scanners
  • Supplies like toner, ink, and parts
  • Maintenance and support
  • Print usage and behaviour
  • Security settings and controls
  • Print related costs and reporting

Instead of trying to manage printers in house, you partner with a specialist provider who does it for you.

Why Is This Helpful?

Printers quietly drain time, money, and IT resource. With MPS, a specialist team:

  • Fixes issues quickly
  • Replenishes toner on time
  • Tracks usage across teams and sites
  • Improves security and access control
  • Helps reduce waste and unnecessary printing

It is like having a dedicated print expert on your team, without the additional headcount.

What Is Included in MPS?

1) Device Management

We help assess what devices you need and where you need them. No more oversized or underpowered printers.

2) Automatic Toner Ordering

Never run out of toner. The system knows when you are running low and arranges replenishment automatically.

3) Maintenance and Repairs

Breakdowns happen, but they do not have to slow you down. Engineers handle fixes fast to reduce downtime.

4) Print Security

Protecting documents and devices is critical. With secure user authentication and encryption, you control who can print and what they can access.

5) Usage Reporting

See who is printing what. Spot waste. Make smarter decisions with clear, regular reporting.

6) Cost Control

Predictable costs, fewer surprises. MPS helps reduce waste and brings clarity to your monthly spend.

7) Sustainability Support

Reduce paper use, set greener defaults, and extend device lifecycles to support your sustainability goals.

At BSG, our MPS also includes support for cloud print with uniFLOW Online to enable secure, flexible hybrid working.

Why Do Businesses Use MPS?

Because unmanaged printing is expensive and distracting. Supplies, repairs, and waste add up, and many organisations have limited visibility of what they spend.

  • Cut costs by consolidating devices and standardising supplies
  • Improve security with authentication and secure release
  • Reduce downtime through proactive maintenance
  • Support hybrid working with secure cloud print
  • Make printing easier for everyone

How Does MPS Save Money?

  • Consolidating too many devices into a right sized fleet
  • Standardising toner and supplies across locations
  • Reducing unnecessary printing with policies and reporting
  • Fixing issues before they become expensive
  • Providing predictable, consolidated invoicing
  • Eliminating emergency purchases and waste

MPS and Hybrid Working

Hybrid work makes printing more complex. Documents may be printed from home and collected at the office or shared across locations. With cloud solutions like uniFLOW Online you can print from anywhere, release securely on site, protect information, and track usage across teams. It keeps print flexible and secure.

What About Security?

Printers are often overlooked, but they can store and process sensitive information. MPS enhances security through:

  • User authentication and secure release printing
  • Encryption for data in transit and at rest
  • Access controls and role based permissions
  • Audit trails and activity logs

This supports GDPR compliance and reduces risk.

The Environmental Benefits

MPS helps you be greener by cutting unnecessary printing, reducing waste, managing energy usage, extending device life, and managing parts responsibly. Less printing means less spend and a smaller footprint.

Is MPS Right for My Business?

You are likely a good fit if you have multiple devices, want to reduce costs, spend too much time ordering toner, have frequent device issues, lack visibility of print spend, or are moving to hybrid working. Most organisations see savings and efficiency gains once they switch.

Why Work With BSG?

Our Managed Print Solutions are secure, flexible, efficient, and fully supported. We provide remote toner monitoring, next day toner delivery, centralised support, account management, and uniFLOW Online setup so your print environment just works.

Ready to Make Printing Easier?

If printing takes up more time than it should, or you want to understand what you are really spending, we are here to help.
