What is Managed Print?

The Managed Print Services Association (MPSA) defines managed print services as the active management and optimization of document output devices and related business processes.

MPS is a structured program designed to provide a cohesive digital document strategy encompassing hardware, application software, document lifecycle management, procurement strategies and existing equipment and related services.


From small and medium sized businesses to large enterprises, businesses are starting to realize the bottom line benefit to getting their output under control. They are doing this through Managed Print Services (MPS) – a defined and mature strategy designed to help manage the volume of documents flowing through the organization and minimize the costs associated with printing, sharing and updating them.

Often overlooked, print is an infrastructure just as important as facilities, telecommunications and IT networks, and the long-term results of a successful MPS partnership includes enhanced productivity, increased compliance and improved environmental sustainability, to name a few.
