Alloy is an IT consulting company that helps clients get more value from information technology (IT) by focusing on active print and document management, an area researchers say is often overlooked.

Save 1% of Gross Revenue
Studies show that companies typically spend 6% of their gross revenue on print and that these costs can be reduced by up to 30% with active management (and with little risk).  The savings seen in studies by firms like Gartner and Photizo are promoted by many vendors including HP, Toshiba, and Xerox because they are often overlooked.  Alloy helps clients realize these savings while also improving staff productivity and reducing waste.

Improve Productivity & Reduce Waste
Optimizing print (including copying and electronic documents) can improve staff productivity while also reducing waste, energy consumption, labor and support costs. Software can automate document creation including querying multiple databases and platforms, distributing those documents electronically or in print, and even automatically archiving them.

Razors & Pirates
More money is spent on print and copy supplies than on the devices themselves, similar to how razorblades are sold, so it is important to manage those costs. Toner is valuable and profitable enough to encourage toner “pirates” to exist.

Motor Oil & Warranties
Does the use of a competitor’s motor oil void an automaker’s warranty or service contract?  Federal law protects consumers who choose aftermarket products, whether motor oil or print supplies.

Industry Best Practices - Lean & Green
Alloy helps clients increase the value they receive from their IT infrastructure by applying the industry’s best strategies, not just those of one vendor.  Alloy applies lean and “green” (or sustainable) strategies.
