While summer is near, businesses may still want to consider some spring cleaning by upgrading outdated and extraneous office equipment. Though your printers and multifunction products are still operational, is the gear energy efficient or perhaps sucking an inordinate amount of electricity? A key indicator that your print fleet is optimizing power is ensuring the equipment is ENERGY STAR® or EPEAT – which is the world’s definitive rating system for electronic products – registered.

To receive a more definitive look on the efficiency of your office equipment, Toshiba offers its Encompass analysis. This consists of a Toshiba representative taking inventory of your company’s entire print fleet using a tablet then running this information through Encompass’ analytical engine to determine document usage patterns. Most important for finance and IT departments, this audit determines inefficiencies and areas for both cost and energy savings.

The Encompass Green Report recommends ways to reduce toner and paper usage as well as electricity. An Encompass Security Assessment determines the security level for devices, documents and points of access while providing solutions to better ensure your information remains private.

A comprehensive Encompass analysis provides your organization a roadmap to operate more efficiently, ecologically and securely.
