• Five Phase Methodology and Unified Services
  
  Canon's Managed Document Services offers a Five Phase Engagement Methodology offering end-to-end management and a single source of accountability to deliver consistency, flexibility and scalability in service provision for maximum customer satisfaction.
  Discover & Analyze:Discover and Analyze involves an on-site assessment and discovery of your output environment and activity. We bring the expertise and technology to quickly and easily gather usage statistics over a select period of time, and present findings in a comprehensive Print Intelligence Report, providing the analysis you need to gain visibility into the costs and efficiency of your environment. Our approach is flexible and designed to meet the scope of your requirements. Going beyond basic meter counters, Canon's Assessment services provide a detailed, thorough, and accurate view not only of your assets, but also the unique behaviors driving office output. Equipped with this knowledge, Canon assists you in finding tangible areas for saving costs immediately, and implementing new strategies for long term optimal print management and control.
  Design:The Design phase is where the total output and document workflow plan is created. Canon's Professional Services consultancy focuses on understanding the goals and unique requirements of the customer, to design the plan best suited to meet your business objectives. An initial design can begin with optimal device placements for TCO and efficiency gains, and can grow to achieve further improvements to the overall environment through document workflow assessments, rules-based document routing, CRD linkage and security solutions such as smart card authentication and follow-me printing.
  Deploy & Transition: Implementing the design and adapting to the new managed environment is a smooth and seamless transition with Canon Managed Document Services. At this stage, the physical movement and replacement of equipment occurs and the optimal design installed, including the software applications and serviceability aspects for any of the solutions selected. Canon offers sophisticated tools and expertise in Professional Services to deliver this high-quality service, and help your organization remain efficient throughout the process.
  Support & Manage: Maintaining the health of the fleet and providing enhanced, servicing capabilities are the heart of Canon Managed Document Services, and ensure complete customer satisfaction and results. A poorly maintained output environment is costly not only in numbers, but in employee productivity. Canon's tools for service delivery are advanced, and designed so that you can stay focused on your core business, instead of ever thinking of support issues.
  Evaluate & Review: Continuous business process improvement and strength in partnership occurs with our approach for evaluation and review. As the experts in output and document workflow, Canon is your advisor for further improving the excellence of your work environment.
