The current economic climate
should be driving businesses
of all sizes to be more
innovative in their thinking.
But responding creatively
to change, challenge and
opportunity can be difficult
when there are so many time-
consuming day-to-day business
activities vying for your
attention.
One area that remains a
challenge for many businesses
is managing and maintaining the
essential hardware and software
that underpins the ability to
trade and communicate. This
includes desktop printers, which
are fundamental to so many
business processes yet quickly
become a distraction and source
of frustration when they run out
of toner or develop a fault.
Conventional managed print
service contracts address this
problem but, in doing so, they
typically require a business to
replace its existing hardware and
sign up to a lengthy commitment,
which not all are happy to do.
Recognising this, Xeretec, a
leading supplier and integrator of
digital print hardware, software
and solutions, has introduced an
alternative model that’s far more
flexible.
Called Service1, it offers
all the convenience and cost

savings of a contract model, but
without the need to replace an
organisation’s existing printers or
enter into a long-term contract.
It can be applied to a single
standalone device or scaled up
to cover an entire fleet of mixed,
multi-vendor devices.
Key benefits include:
n
All-inclusive pricing. For peace
of mind and visibility of print
costs, Service1 features all-
inclusive fixed low cost per page
pricing covering consumables,
automatic toner replacement, all
service calls, parts and labour
costs.
n
Pro-active device
management. Proactive service
and maintenance, combined
with real-time remote device
monitoring, keep business
downtime and distractions to
a minimum. Xeretec expects
Service1 to slash print-related IT
calls by 80%, leaving more time
for business critical tasks.
n
One supplier, one call. With
Service 1, businesses no longer
have to deal with multiple
suppliers: instead they have just
one telephone number to call for
all print-related problems.
n
Investment protection. By
covering existing devices,
Service1 protects the investment
a company has already made
Introducing Service1 from Xeretec, a more flexible managed print
service that protects customers’ investment in their existing fleet.
“Having a true insight into
your cost base is essential
for driving expenditure
down. However, while many
businesses are aware of
the price and convenience
benefits of a managed
print service, they are also
conscious of the length of
time required to complete
an MPS assessment and
the commitments these
agreements typically impose.
To address this concern,
Service1 provides businesses
with a rewarding and
uncomplicated entry into the
benefits of a service contract
model.”
Steve Hawkins,
Managing Director, Xeretec
What our customers say!
“Switching our devices to
Service1 has proven to be
more cost-effective through
paying a fixed cost per page.
The detailed reports I receive
on usage and consumables
consumption has given me
greater visibility and control
of our print environment and
I now know, from a budgetary
perspective, exactly what the
costs will be.”
