CFO Magazine and MPS

Below you can find a link to an article in the May, 2009 issue of CFO Magazine focused to savings in the technology area. “Hiring Managed Service Providers” is one of the seven highlighted areas, and managed print services is the example under the MS heading.

But before you leave add yourself as a follower to this blog and to the group “Print Management” on Linked In.

Don’t get hung-up on the source of the article. Although published in CFO, you will note that there is only a single reference to a CFO in the entire article, and even that is more of a technical expert role to the CTO. All of the savings mentioned were driven by the CIO’s team. In over 60% of engagements the decision to enter an MPS agreement is made inside of the CIO’s organization: They own the budget for acquiring and supporting technology.
