Research and Markets: Managed Print Services (MPS) Market in Japan 2015-2019 - Shift toward Additional Services (BPS and IT)


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8fpqt3/managed_print) has announced the addition of the "Managed Print Services (MPS) Market in Japan 2015-2019" report to their offering.

The MPS market in Japan to grow at a CAGR of 15.49% over the period 2014-2019

MPS is a professional service offered by third-party service providers to help organizations attain a cost-effective and well-managed imaging and printing environment. MPS is an efficient way to manage and optimize the document output devices and other related businesses. MPS involves monitoring, regulating, and improving the printing sub-structure of an organization. This service is facilitated by some of the key software that includes offerings such as print management software, device management software, design and development software, and scan routing software.

The report includes the present scenario and the growth prospects f the MPS market in Japan for the period 2015-2019. The report describes about end-users of MPS.



Organizations started using traditional printing solutions to improve the efficiency and productivity of their printing operations. Also, they started using MPS for proper visibility of the operations and to take control of managing document workflow. Thus, they needed to have more applications that would help in improving the functionality of MPS.

According to the report, some organizations, with a cost-driven approach, have drifted toward commodity-style purchasing wherein they buy the various elements of the print environment separately. MPS basically consists of the integration of services including consulting, equipment, parts, and supplies, which helps reduce the inventory and operating cost substantially.


Further, the report states that printing technology is very old but MPS is quite new in Japan. Also, organizations, especially higher management, do not know the proper use of MPS solutions, which can result in more investment in the printing environment and an increase in the overall operational cost. Also, they do not know the advantages of using MPS in the organization, as it helps in better transparency and communication with employees.
