In the fast-evolving business landscape of the UAE, operational efficiency and sustainability are no longer just buzzwords—they’re essential strategies.One of the least considered but powerful remedies that will fuel this evolution is Managed Print Services (MPS). Whether an expanding startup in Dubai, to a corporate giant in Abu Dhabi, MPS allows businesses to slash waste and increase productivity and cost control.

What is Managed Print Services (MPS)?

Managed Print Service is an all-encompassing service ensuring an organization's document output is both centralized and optimized. It requires evaluating the existing print environment, tracking usage, automatically ordering supplies, maintaining hardware, and offering analytics. But the real value is what MPS can offer your business: less waste, more productivity and more streamlined workflows.

1. Waste Reduction through Print Monitoring

One of the major causes of office waste in UAE companies is uncontrolled printing. From wasted color prints to accidentally leaving behind paperwork at the printer, the figures can quickly compound. With MPS:

- Each print job is tracked and audited.

- Unutilized or underutilized devices are detected and eliminated

- Default settings (such as double-sided printing or black-and-white mode) can help reduce paper and toner usage.

Result: Less paper use, less waste of supplies, and Cleaner Greener Office

2. Optimized Device Usage Across Teams

Many workplaces in the UAE have too many devices—or worse, the wrong devices. MPS conducts a full audit of your printing infrastructure and provides:

- Right-sizing of the printer fleet.

- Strategic placement of devices for improved accessibility.

- Elimination of redundant equipment.

This optimization leads to better resource allocation, reduced energy consumption and operational costs.

3. Automated Management for Supplies

No more last-minute runs for ink or toner. Supply ordering systems based on monitored usage allowAutomated management to order supplies beforehand. This avoids:

- Overstocking or unnecessary supply acquisition which leads to expired materials taking space.

- Downtime due to lack materials needed.

Automation not only cuts waste but also removes administrative headaches.

4. Enhanced Data Security

With cyber threats on the rise, especially in the UAE’s highly connected business ecosystem, MPS adds a layer of protection:

- Secure print release ensures documents are only printed when the authorized user is present.

- Device-level security helps prevent unauthorized access.

- Encrypted data transmissions protect sensitive business information.

This improves compliance while eliminating risk associated with careless print practices.

5. Optimized Procedures and Workforce Productivity

Time spent fixing paper jams or waiting for a printer can be better used elsewhere. MPS simplifies document workflows through:

- Mobile print services, printing through the cloud, or office print systems.

- Document scanning, as well as automated routing of documents.

- Remote supervision with centralized control enables enhanced governance and productivity.

By streamlining operations, your staff stays focused on what matters most—your core business.

6.  Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility

Sustainability is a growing priority in the UAE Vision 2030. MPS aligns with this initiative by helping businesses:

- Reduce carbon footprint.

- Monitor and report environmental impact.

- Participate in recycling programs for cartridges and equipment.

A sustainable print environment positively impacts your brand reputation and complements green certification alongside ESG targets.
