Elpee is adding value through its managing print services that helps organizations to get control to its business document production & its printing value. It helps to fix printing cost directly to its usage. In other words, Elpee helps to manage companies printing environment with the latest technology, supplies and support & maintenance services at a minimum cost.
This is a basic introduction to some of the issues that should be considered when contemplating an MRP system.
It is by no means an academic piece, nor is it exhaustive, but it is aimed at real users who need to understand some of the terminology and acronyms that creep in.
It raises one or two points about issues that are common to all MRP installations, such as Data Migration which will almost certainly cost the client money, if he fails to resolve them before the installation.

Management Information Systems – Week 7 Lecture 2
Development & Improvement
Chapter 13 Systems Development: Design, Implementation, Maintenance,
and Review
You have learned about information systems and seen a little about how the project is run to create a new
system. This week you will focus on the actual systems design process. This will help you whether you
become a programmer, systems analyst or are a department manager. There are countless articles on
this subject on the internet and some great YouTube videos so take a moment to do some extra research
and learn more about systems development.
When an IS manager sits down to design a system they look at several areas and have many special
tools at their disposal.
A systems engineer or senior developer will first look at the logical design. This usually means that they
look at the user request and determine what they really mean! Once they have clarification they will create
a physical design. This might be object-oriented (using code that has already been created) or mock ups
showing interface design and controls. This is sometimes called storyboarding. This image is an example
of creating a new user interface:
System design time is an investment for the business, it will help by preventing, detecting, and correcting
errors prior to the application software being written. It will generate systems design alternatives. One
alternative is to ask software developers to create the application for the business, this is done by creating
a request for proposal (RFP). Software vendors will then propose several options at various price points.
The business can then review the proposals, do a cost benefit analysis and select an appropriate plan of
action.
Once a project has started it is a good idea to freezing design specifications using a contract, and even a
design report called a Functional Design Document. This process is intended to allow the development
team to focus on creating a specific application and not have to try to hit a constantly moving target. As
the application is being developed it is also time to acquire the hardware that will be needed. If the
application requires a headset with microphone for voice input or a super-fast computer, this is the time to
make sure the application will be functional when it is implemented.
Types of IS hardware vendors include:
General computer manufacturers
Small computer manufacturers
Peripheral equipment manufacturers
Computer dealers and distributors
Chip makers
While the application is being developed and the hardware acquired, in a perfect world the personnel will
be hired and trained and any preparations will be done for the site and data requirements (additional disk
drives for databases or could computing). One of the phases of software development is the testing
phase. It really cannot be considered the final stage because it may result in some additional planning,
programming or other modifications. It can be considered to be ...

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

3. Print Assessment
If you are looking into getting a partner to help you manage your printing devices, or
already have one but are looking to switch, then you will most likely need to go
through a print assessment.
A print assessment is when a managed print partner will conduct a data research
project on your fleet of printing devices, your document software solutions if
applicable and talk with some of your end users to get an understanding of how they
work.
This slide deck will cover the stages of a print assessment and what you can expect
to happen at each one.
5. 1 R e v i e w o f c u r r e n t d e p l o y m e n t
The first step, as with any good project, is taking stock. A printing partner will look at
what printers, multi-function printers (MFPs), copiers, scanners, etc. you already have in place.
They will map out your imaging deployment and take a look at any workflows that are in place
and the functionality of each device.
Many times, the devices you already have can be used in a new managed print arrangement – if
you have equipment that works, your MPS partner can incorporate that equipment into the
plan. This can decrease costs because you don't have to buy or lease another piece of
equipment. It comes down to what brands the managed partner can service and if the machine
is expected to last for all, or part, of the agreement term.
7. 2 G a t h e r d a t a f r o m y o u r n e t w o r k
MPS partners will use a data collection agent (DCA) to get a better understanding of your
printing fleet. A DCA sits on your network and reports meter reads, supply levels, and how many
pages are being printed on each device. The program that we use is called FM Audit. The point
of this is to really understand how much is being printed on your devices and to be able to
produce an educated recommendation that will be able to support the volume the users need.
The software usually reports for anywhere between two weeks and two months during the
assessment.
9. 3 . 1 W h e r e a r e a l l o f t h e p r i n t e r s a n d
c o p i e r s
During a site assessment, your account manager and a member of the printing partners service
team will go to every one of your printers and copiers and look at the environment it is in. They
are looking for information like:
• Are there other printers nearby?
• Does the copier have additional attachments – a finisher, extra trays, etc.
They'll review the pages each device prints per month and if the device is used heavily for
scanning. They should also take note of any set up on the user interface screen, if there are any
apps on the device and the layout for users needs.
10. 3 . 2 E n d u s e r i n t e r v i e w s
After the account manager has reviewed the physical device, they will find one or more end
users in the area and ask them a few questions about it. A few of those are:
• How often do you print?
• What type of documents do you print?
• Do you print color?
This is to gain an understanding of how the device is actually used and to make sure there
wasn’t anything over looked that would hurt or hinder the users.
11. 3 . 3 C u s t o m e r i n t e r v i e w s
This is a higher-level interview normally done with IT and other members with a seat at the
buying table (more on this in the next step). This person (or group) has final say on approving
the engagement and/or will have a part to play if the engagement continues. In the customer
interview, the key contacts exchange:
•Contact information
•Discuss role requirements
•Supplies fulfillment
•Service expectations
•Your company’s technical infrastructure
•Software that is in place or needed
These and other topics are covered to ensure there are no surprises during deployment or fleet
take over.
13. 4 T h e b u y i n g t a b l e : w h o n e e d s t o b e
i n v o l v e d
A print assessment does not live in IT or in purchasing alone, it is a process that requires input
for every department that will use the equipment. Normally these members of your company
have a final say in the agreement, it is best to bring them into the process as soon as possible.
This can cut down or eliminate red flags later in the process, make sure everyone is on board,
and gives the ability to answer questions as they come up and continue to keep the process
moving forward and staying on schedule. A member of your legal team is sometimes
appropriate in the assessment stage. They can wrap their heads around the type of service that
will be provided and request any documentation they require early.
