subject: Optimizing Office Operations By Copier Leasing [print this page] The costs of operation can really drag a business down. Owning equipment can sometimes end up costing you more than making a deal copier leasing. You should always look at the benefits of the different payment plans.
For one, once you make a purchase, everything is in your hands. Any and all the repair, maintenance, replacement parts, and other responsibilities will need to be paid directly out of pocket. There is no company to turn to for help with the difference or for when things are actually a fault with the machinery, not your operation of it. You could actually end up paying more too as the equipment gets old and starts having more problems. Eventually you will also have to admit defeat and purchase a new machine.
When you lease a copier you're not paying for the work upfrontyou're actually paying for the use as you go along. Your payment plan is decided based on the amount of years you will be using this machine. Nothing more and nothing less is expected of you, except handling your photocopier with care so it's actually worth something when you return it.
And how do you view the productivity in your office? Obviously having better equipment is going to do more for you and your employees. With the exponential rate at which technology advances it seems like the minute you invest in a piece of equipment it is already outdated. Well, with a purchase you're locked into having that equipment for a long, long time. When you rent a copier you're only locked for a few years, then you can trade up. And you're paying less in those years than you would for a permanent purchase.
Also, productivity relies on how you allocate funding. It can't purely go to IT and equipment; it must be evenly spread to other office departments and needs. With a small monthly fee you can spend the rest of your funding elsewhere and ensure that nothing is getting overlooked. It's an opportunity to give the proper attention and funds to the weakest links in your organization and correct them.
These are only a few of the reasons why you should consider payment options for photocopying machines. There is a lot more flexibility with the technology and you are guaranteed quality service in the time you "own" it. It can be a definite benefit to your business productivity.
