While this year is likely to see an increase in office printing, opportunities around serving work-from-home print needs are expected to continue.
Managed Print Services Outlook Improves
The return to the office—and continuance of at-home printing under managed print services contracts—is leading to an improved outlook for MPS in 2021, solution providers said. Joshua Justice (pictured), president of La Plata, Md.-based JustTech, said that print volumes at customers in March began to recover to a greater degree than he was expecting. “March was really the turning point,” he said.
The managed print services provider now expects revenue to rise 20 percent this year after being flat in 2020, Justice said. “As print volumes return, we should be stronger than ever,” he said.
Likewise, at MARCO, Larkin said that the forecast for managed print services in 2021 “is very, very strong – from a volume perspective, from a unit perspective, from an overall needs perspective … I’m very optimistic for MPS.”
