ABT validates these numbers with a no-obligation review of your actual print environment.
Methodology: Known costs from your inputs. IT cost = hours × rate. Downtime loss = episodes × 45 min avg × affected employees × $45/hr productivity value. Waste = 17% of known costs (Gartner industry average). Pain points use published industry benchmarks. MPS savings modelled at 25–45% of total spend depending on industry, consistent with IDC and Gartner managed print ROI research. These are estimates — ABT's free assessment provides exact numbers based on your actual environment.
Behind the Numbers
Where the Savings Come From
ABT's MPS programme targets five proven cost levers — each one a documented source of print spend reduction.
Lever 01
Toner Optimisation
Auto-replenishment, genuine or certified-compatible supplies, and proactive ordering eliminates emergency buys and over-stocking. ABT manages toner so you never pay rush prices or run out mid-job.
Typical: 25–35% toner cost reduction
Lever 02
Fleet Right-Sizing
Most organisations run 20–30% more devices than needed. ABT analyses actual usage patterns and consolidates underused devices — reducing lease, maintenance, and supply costs immediately.
Typical: 20–30% fleet cost reduction
Lever 03
IT Time Recovery
ABT's 24/7 monitoring resolves most printer issues remotely before users notice. Your IT team stops being a printer helpdesk — typically recovering 70–80% of their current print-related time.
Typical: 70–80% of IT print time saved
Lever 04
Print Policy Controls
Enforcing duplex defaults, B&W rules, and colour restrictions by role drives 15–20% volume reduction in most environments. Monitoring makes the savings visible and sustained.
Typical: 15–20% volume reduction
Lever 05
Downtime Elimination
Proactive monitoring and guaranteed SLA response times mean fewer outages and faster resolution. Downtime stops being an accepted overhead and becomes a managed, near-zero cost.
Typical: 60–75% downtime cost reduction
