NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, announced today that the company has been placed by Gartner, Inc. in the Challengers Quadrant of the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Managed Print Services (MPS) Worldwide.*
MPS comprises an integrated bundle of services, consulting and equipment for managing an organization’s complete print/copy output process. Gartner, the world's leading information technology research and advisory company, issues the MPS Magic Quadrant report as a valuable starting point for organizations to identify and assess MPS providers. The MPS Magic Quadrant graphically represents the MPS marketplace and depicts Gartner’s analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for the marketplace, as defined by Gartner.
MPS providers in the Challengers Quadrant, according to Gartner, “are capable of delivering services required by most enterprises and may have a long MPS track record.”
“Organizations that manage their printer, copier and fax fleets can save between 10 percent and 30 percent of their print costs,” according to the 2011 Magic Quadrant MPS report. “This is something organizations can do on their own if they know exactly how to proceed and have the resources to do so. If not – as is often the case – then an MPS provider can help.”
