“Our enterprise customers need us to help them bring order to the chaos of their technology fleet,” said Bruce Dahlgren, senior vice president, Managed Enterprise Solutions, Imaging and Printing Group, HP. “Today, we can show them proven return on investment with the right mix of software tools, workflow solutions and mobile workflow innovations – bringing it all together through a scalable Managed Print Services engagement.”
Manage environment to increase visibility and efficiencyFor an enhanced management experience, the HP MPS Smart Decision Suite integrates front-end capabilities with back-end services infrastructure. By enhancing IT visibility and providing greater access into printing fleets, the suite enables global standard delivery processes and capabilities.
