Home Office Printing Service (HOPS*)
Offer Managed Print Services to the WFH employees of your corporate customers
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the office paradigm, prompting a permanent shift towards
working from home
This comes with various implications for the various stakeholders:
Employees
- Must buy a printer
- Buy cartridges where it is ‘easy’ — costs $$$$
- Hassle of figuring out when to buy, what to buy and where to buy from
- Hassle of getting reimbursed
Employers
- Must manage reimbursements
- Lose control of cost of printing – costs $$$$
- Lose control of print flow security
- Cannot control non work-related printing
Managed Print Service Providers, Dealers & Resellers
- Pay for use programs built for offices
- Lose page volumes and revenue
- Cannot build programs to reach multitudes of home workers
Printer OEMs & Supplies Manufacturers
- Current MPS offerings don’t extend into the home environment
- Must build from scratch systems focused on home office pay for use vs. existing corporate office pay for use programs
