The mimeo open platform can be used to complement or replace the existing print infrastructure. It is a cost effective way to add capacity during periods of peak demand, expand organizational capabilities and support mobile employees. The virtual platform can be accessed by any employee, making it easier to shift "rogue" print spend that falls outside the enterprise print environment.

Virtual print is quickly becoming a standard requirement for companies looking to implement a managed print services program. For the MPS providers, the mimeo virtual platform creates an opportunity to improve the efficiency of a customer's print environment with little downside risk. Customer retention and contract renewals improve as employees come to rely on features such as an unlimited virtual document library, 24/7 access and support. As employees use the system platform, customers will experience a decline in rogue print spend, increased preservation of intellectual capital and greater control of total print expenditures.

The trend in BPO contracts is to utilize SaaS (software as a service) components that both scale with demand and that standardize core business processes. The mimeo platform meets both criteria. Mimeo offers a complete set of APIs and integrates with other business services recommended by your firm including procurement and learning management systems (LMS). Given the size the total print spend and the importance of print in the enterprise, improvements can quickly achieve the desired level of impact.

Consultants are continually under pressure to recommend ideas that transform client businesses in terms of innovation and productivity. With print touching all aspects of the organization, it is an area that plays a strategic role within the enterprise. Mimeo technology and the print product platform can substantially improve print workflows, providing consultants with additional opportunities to improve organizational efficiency. As a virtual solution, the implementation costs are relatively low, providing significant upside with little to no downside risk.

Print suppliers are increasingly being called upon to provide state-of-the-art digital print services. Examples include customers that are demanding rapid turnaround, complex documents, low quantities, and access via a virtual platform. These demands are increasingly hard to fulfill as they tend to be labor intensive and often require large investments in staff and equipment. Beyond the costs, quality can be difficult to control in a short run print environment. Mimeo enables print suppliers to immediately offer digital print services via a branded interface without any of the downside risk. Instead of investing in plant and equipment, suppliers can focus on servicing customers and selling the capabilities that are already built into the mimeo system.

Today, online and software platforms are the normative way businesses connect with their customers. Those verticals that have strong print demands, such as financial services, can now utilize mimeo front end applications and print workflow to integrate a print on demand option directly into the platform.

Print is an integral part of the participant experience at events. With Mimeo, exhibition management companies can increase their share of wallet for each event by offering print in addition to other logistics support services provided. Exhibitors will benefit from lower print on demand quantities, next day delivery and online customization technologies.
