What is Total Cost of Ownership all about?
When people hire printers, the least expensive quote seems to be the lowest cost. What's missing from this approach are the potential cost savings from areas before and after the actual printing. TCO looks at the life cycle costs outside of the actual cost of the print job - from concept and development through obsolescence, and even where it's printed, who prints it, why a job is getting printed in the first place, and how it gets distributed after it's printed. The truth is, there are many keys to strategically managing overall printing costs, and we'd love to be your expert guide on your path to lower TCO printing.
Our job is to make you look good by delivering quality work on time and within budget. But a larger part of our job is to look at your big picture and determine the best mix of on-site, off-site and CCS-managed processes for your organization. For example, we can help assess which type of print technologies will best fit your project, or help determine which method of distribution makes the most sense. Whether longer runs and stored inventory is better than short-run on-demand printing, or even whether outsourced staffing versus using your dedicated employees is worth considering.
We've built our facilities and capabilities to give you what you need, when you need it. CCS offers a wide array of printing services, from traditional commercial printing presses to high-speed, full-color laser printing, and even staffing of your in-house copy and mail centers. Along with quality printing, we also act as your consultant on how you can reduce TCO. It's all part of the commitment to provide you with the best possible service.
