IDC White Paper*

Business Value of Output Management

In early 2011, the market intelligence firm International Data Corporation (IDC) surveyed a number of large enterprises to quantify the benefits they had received from their use of LRS output management software. The results of this months-long study were as surprising as they were impressive.

According to the IDC report, the companies they spoke with reported the following benefits:

• Reduced IT labor costs by $28,771 per 100 managed printers annually by improving IT staff productivity
• Lowered annual business capital and operational print services costs by $20,744 per 100 printers
• Generated a three-year return on investment (ROI) of 310% and a payback period of less than 6 months
