Des Plaines Office Equipment (DPOE) announces “Speakers’ Bureau” to acquaint Chicago area businesses on Managed Print Services
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, ISSUED MARCH 24, 2010…Des Plaines Office Equipment (DPOE), the Chicago area’s leading provider of office equipment solutions since 1955, today announced the formation of a Speakers’ Bureau for the Chicago area on the topic of Managed Print Services.
Chip Miceli, President of DPOE (www.dpoe.com), is a nationally-recognized speaker on the topic of Managed Print Services, having taken extensive training through different industry sources and also being a sought-after speaker and author on the topic.
DPOE will provide a speaker to any business, civic or networking organization in the Chicago area, at no cost, on the topic of Managed Print Services, which represents a change in the way that the document management industry approaches its market.
Miceli said that Managed Print Services acknowledges a fundamental and sweeping change in the document generation industry: the analysis of cost per page rather than per cost of equipment purchased. “Between 1% and 3% of a company’s total bottom line is spent on document generation/management,” said Miceli, noting that historically, document generation equipment and solutions have been driven by the equipment price rather than the per-page cost of generating documents.
The DPOE Speakers’ Bureau can address key issues of Managed Print Services, including:
- Are desktop laser printers the bargain they seem to be?
- Integrating existing equipment with a paperless approach
- Overlooked cost-saving strategies for businesses, including “print on demand”
Miceli plans to create a website this year to educate the public on the savings. For additional information on the Speakers’ Bureau, please call 847-879-6404.
