February 02, 2021 | [Advanced Office](https://www.goadvanced.com/blog/author/advanced-office) Although everything seems to be turned on its head these days, there's one thing you can still count on: managed print services. Let's take a look at this solution--what it is, how it works, and why it's good news for your business even in the middle of a pandemic. ## The Magic of Managed Print There's a lot to know about [managed print services,](https://www.goadvanced.com/managed-print-services) but the truth is that it's not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. Once you jump in, managed print starts to fall into place--and that's because it's all based on you, your company, and your unique needs. Here's everything you need to know about managed print services! ### The "What" *What is managed print services?* Managed print isn't a toner delivery service. It's also not a tool for controlling your printers. Instead, managed print is a holistic approach to your *entire* print environment, from toner delivery to printer settings to fleet management to security procedures. It's a way to connect with a "partner in printing" who will help put your machines to work for you, saving time, money, and energy. ### The "How" *How does managed print work?* Managed print begins with a print audit that tells you and your provider what's going on in your business. You'll look at usage habits, ink and toner storage, budgets, and more--and, with this new information, you'll be able to choose solutions and tools that solve your biggest printer problems. ### The "Why" *Why is managed print a good choice for your business?* The truth about managed print is that it's designed to adapt to you no matter what's going on--including a pandemic. If your employees are working from home and using personal devices, you'll need an entirely different set of solutions than if your employees are at the office and social-distancing when they use printers--and managed print services can handle both. It's all about flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and security--now more than ever. Does managed print services sound like your company's new best friend?
