Hyground Consulting recognise the commercial and reputational
implications that the reprographics service has on our
clients, along with the technical and commercial complexity
that prevails in the current supplier market. We are
an independent specialist Reprographics consultancy
focusing exclusively in this area. Our sole focus on
Reprographics has enabled us to be at the forefront
of technological advancements in this industry. We work
closely with our clients’ Procurement and Operational
teams to ensure they receive the best value for money
service aligned to their business needs and requirements.
We have worked with many large corporations
in this specialist field. We work closely with many
of the major suppliers and manufacturers who we would
expect to compete to provide you with the relevant products
and services.
We also understand the complexity of
the Facilities Management model whereby a variety of
products and services are sometimes provided by a single
supplier. An example of this is where Mailroom, Front
of House and Reprographics are combined to maximise
synergy savings. We conduct our audits in conjunction
with many Facilities Management companies with much
success.
We believe that we have accumulated the skills and expertise
to support your business whether large or small to achieve
a qualitative and value-for-money solution for all the
areas included in the scope of your reprographics and
or fleet service.
We have the capability to assess all
aspects of your current operations and to identify solutions
for consideration and finally to assist in implementing
(if) any of the resulting changes.
Our independence in the market affords
the optimum flexibility for both ourselves and our clients,
thereby ensuring the most appropriate solutions are
identified.
We propose to offer a menu of services in terms of the
scope of our Audit and Review, including but not limited
to, the following activities:
- Giving you assurance that your costs are competitive
by conducting a benchmarking exercise across a range
of similar and peer organisations.
- Giving you assurance that the appropriate quality
of reprographics and printing equipment is being
deployed to meet your qualitative requirements,
by conducting a benchmarking exercise across a range
of similar organisations and ensuring that optimum
technology is deployed, by undertaking a machine
utilization review
- Reviewing the Service Level Agreements in force
and benchmarking these against similar organizations
to ensure that the service levels being received
are in line with or exceed similar organizations.
- Ensuring that your Printroom strategy enhances
and compliments the strategy deployed for Multi
Function Floor Copiers and Laser printers as well
as the overall Document strategy.
- Working with your procurement team to assist
you to achieve the best value proposition with both
existing and possible future Central printroom/Reprographic
suppliers by assisting in specialist aspects of
detailed negotiations
- Identify synergies, such as leveraging existing
resources in other Facilities Management areas such
as Post Room, Front of House, Maintenance, etc.
To achieve the objectives, our proposal
is to work with yourselves to obtain visibility of data
which will enable us to conduct a comprehensive Audit
and Review analysis and commence working on proposals
that will enable you to make informed decisions.
Central reprographics, office technology
and associated running costs can represent the third
largest overhead after employees and real estate.
Suppliers of equipment, consumables,
paper and services hide the true pricing in complicated
servicing contracts and obscure facts by technology
and pricing variables.
Decisions in this complex industry are made by busy
procurement people and managers who do not have access
to the latest industry benchmark data and technology
developments.
This information gap, coupled with
an astoundingly fast pace of technology advancement,
means that there is a reliance on hardware suppliers
who are not independent to provide solutions.
Together we can make a difference!
Let’s combine our expertise
Hyground Consulting has a staff compliment with over
100 years combined office equipment expertise and we
are not linked to any manufacturer or supplier. We are
also members of the British Institute of Facilities
Management ( BIFM.)
