## Managed print services in Adelaide, moving each office as its contract ends

Adelaide runs 30 minutes behind Sydney, and each office's notice window decides when it joins the agreement.

An Adelaide printer generally gets a technician within four hours, and one desk handles the tickets for every other state you run.

Note each notice window and stated exit cost, then decide which office should be reviewed first.

- Operated by Global Document Solutions, an authorised Kyocera partner.

### Tell us when each contract ends

Send the renewal dates. We work out which office moves first.

Adelaide sites whose printer contracts end on different dates can move to one managed print agreement one at a time, over months.

### Five Adelaide contracts, or one managed print agreement, office by office

Every Adelaide office and every regional site comes under one MPS agreement, each joining on its own end date.

Finance starts with the register of each Adelaide office’s end date and notice period.

The pillar draws offices joining one agreement as each contract ends, month by month.

The cost page prices the eight office example on the three plans.

Finance then sees the one invoice and the report for an Adelaide site.

Procurement holds the ten answers in writing, before any Adelaide office moves.

Operations can check which print problem costs Adelaide offices most time.

Nothing is paid out early, and no office is moved before its date.

Printing costs are read per site, from the one invoice and each office’s report.

Whether one agreement will reduce costs is answered by the cost review of each site, before you commit.

### What managed print services Adelaide offices get under one agreement

Managed print services, or MPS, put the printers at every office with one supplier.

That supplier provides each printer and keeps it printing.

What each monthly plan includes

A printer or multifunction device supplied under the agreement, on a standard plan tailored to the business.

Toner is in all 3 plans. Parts and labour for servicing are too.

We watch toner levels and send an update when one runs low.

What operations and finance get back

One invoice for every Adelaide and interstate office on the agreement.

A report per site, showing that office's page counts.

Card or code release at the printer, run on PaperCut, is an optional extra priced in the quote.

#### Three benefits of managed print services (MPS) across several offices

One supplier to call about office printing, whichever site has the problem.

Printing costs you can compare office by office, from one invoice and the site reports.

Offices join one at a time, each when its current contract ends.

The steps are set out in what changes when Adelaide leases end one by one.

Print management here means running your office printers. Commercial printing services are a separate trade.

### How can staggered Adelaide contracts move into one agreement

Start with the current date and commercial position for each office.

A site does not have to wait for every other office to reach the same month.

Sites move one at a time over months, each on its own contract date.

The process begins with a site list, the current supplier and the known end date for each agreement.

A first count of those dates comes from a 60 second planner for staggered lease dates.

Any notice window or early exit amount belongs beside that date before a move is proposed.

The result is an order for review, not a promise about a payout or saving.

#### Why the contract list comes before the printer list

A newly renewed office and an office near its end date need different next steps.

The relevant clauses are explained under the notice window and exit terms to check before changing agreements.

Operations can then prepare each office without forcing one start date across the group.

The order is updated as later dates approach.

Offices outside South Australia can be staged the same way, as how Melbourne sites are reviewed by location shows.

What the review does
You see when each deal ends, how much notice it needs and what leaving costs.

It then places each office into a proposed review sequence.

Use these 10 questions when comparing the proposed supplier.

### What support process applies in Adelaide and regional towns

Your agreement, support tickets and service communication stay with Global Document Solutions.

An authorised dealer or the manufacturer is arranged for work at the site.

According to Global Document Solutions, a technician generally reaches a capital city site within 4 hours.

A regional town site is generally reached the next business day.

Both are the usual process. Neither is a written attendance term.

How Hobart and regional Tasmanian sites are assessed

Review the national city and regional support process

Put each address in scope
Send every Adelaide and regional office that may join the agreement.

Each address can then be classified against the qualified city or regional process.

Ask the quote to state the commercial terms that apply to that location.

Do not infer them from another office.

### Which South Australian sites can enter the review

Every South Australian address can be included, from the Adelaide CBD to regional towns.

The locations below are South Australian examples, not separate coverage promises.

According to the ABS figures for Greater Adelaide, the Munno Para West and Angle Vale area grew most in 2024-25.

- Adelaide CBD and North Terrace Start with the agreement coordinated from the head office. South Australia
- Norwood, Kent Town and Stepney List each office even when only one supplied printer is proposed. South Australia
- Mile End, Thebarton, Richmond Operational offices can have different printer and workflow requirements. South Australia
- Elizabeth and Salisbury Include branch offices that operations manages from another site. South Australia
- Marion and Noarlunga Centre Southern suburb offices go on the same agreement as the CBD. South Australia
- Mount Gambier, Whyalla, the Riverland Classify these addresses under the qualified regional process. More towns are on the state page for regional SA branches . South Australia

These six groups show the locations this page discusses.

Send the full site list for a location specific review.

Put the South Australian contract dates in order

From $160 + GST a month per printer.

Standard plans, tailored to your fleet. Excess page rates are stated in your quote and are normally the same at every location.

Paper, staples and pages above your agreed volume sit outside that figure.

### What should the Adelaide quote show by site

Standard plans can be tailored to the business.

Managed printing services are quoted here per device, never per job.

The agreement covers printers supplied under it, so printers you already own cannot join.

Each proposed printer should be listed against its office and monthly plan.

Each plan covers toner and parts, plus labour and servicing.

No pooled volume, single rate or distance based pricing result is assumed.

This service is built for organisations coordinating 5 or more sites.

A group of two to four sites is still accepted.

For a western example, read how Perth and regional WA locations enter a written review.

For a long regional corridor, see the regional Queensland site assessment process.

Up the Stuart Highway, Territory offices have managed print from Alice Springs to the Top End.

Which printing requirements operations supplies first

The address, current supplier and known contract end date for every office.

Add any notice window or exit figure already available.

Rough page counts and colour needs can follow for the proposed printer plan.

#### What the quote confirms

The supplied printer and standard plan proposed for each included location.

It states applicable excess page rates, which are normally the same across locations.

It also shows the commercial terms proposed for each staged addition.

#### How the contract date and exit cost are reviewed

Operations and finance compare each current agreement with its quote before deciding whether and when a site should move.

The review does not guarantee that an early exit will be avoided or worthwhile.

What stays visible while South Australian sites are reviewed in sequence.

| Review item | Current position | Proposed position |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Contract timing | End date and notice window | Proposed review month |
| Exit cost | Requested from current provider | Compared before a decision |
| Printer | Existing office arrangement | Supplied under the agreement |
| Plan | Current commercial terms | Tailored standard plan |
| Excess rate | Current contract wording | Stated in the quote |

- Record the current end date and notice window for every site
- Request any applicable exit cost before comparing options
- Review the proposed printer and plan, plus the location terms, as each date approaches

Review the published plans before reading your quote

### How do you assess your current printing before choosing a provider in Adelaide?

Start with a walk through the current print environment at every Adelaide office.

Count the printing devices at each site, from desktop units to large multifunction machines.

Read each printer's page meter on the same day, such as the 1st of the month.

Note the printing habits of each team, such as heavy colour or long reports.

Usage patterns show which office equipment stands idle and which is overloaded.

A site with multiple devices can carry a machine nobody has used for months.

A printer down the corridor costs staff productivity every time they walk to it.

List the consumable stock each office keeps in its cupboard today.

The finished print infrastructure list shows your printing needs office by office.

Ask each provider for printing solutions matched to those business needs, in writing.

Ask who provides technical support at every address, and how a fault is logged.

Managed print solutions differ from commercial printing services, which produce brochures and signage to order.

Adelaide printing services firms quote by the job, while a managed agreement quotes by the device.

### Which printer suits each Adelaide office?

Each office gets a printer sized to its own work, on one of 3 plans.

What decides the printer at each office

| What decides it | What to tell us |
| --- | --- |
| Pages a month | Black and colour pages from the counter on the printer there now |
| Colour | Whether staff print colour at all |
| Paper size | A4 only, or A3 for plans and drawings |
| Scanning | How much the office scans, and where scans go |
| People sharing it | How many staff send work to one printer |

Pages each plan includes a month

| Plan | Pages included |
| --- | --- |
| Starter | 2,000 mono pages |
| Professional | 2,000 mono and 200 colour pages |
| Enterprise | 5,000 mono and 500 colour pages |

Pages past a plan carry the excess page rate set out in the quote.

### What every Adelaide office gets under one agreement

Three parts of the agreement, written once for every site in the group.

Each month

Toner, parts and labour come in all 3 plans.

Servicing is included as well.

GDS watches toner levels and sends an update when one runs low.

One invoice covers the group, with a report for each site.

Excess page rates are in the quote and normally match at every location.

When sites move

Each site's costs are reviewed before you commit.

Sites move one at a time, often over months.

A new office can join the agreement later.

The monthly figure changes when it joins.

Printers the business owns now cannot join, so the agreement supplies each site's printers.

Data and print security

Card or code release on PaperCut is an optional extra.

Printing without a print server, including for Microsoft 365, is optional too.

The quote states the cost of either.

Wiping a printer's stored data at the end of term is a paid option.

### What Adelaide operations leaders ask before moving sites

#### Can Adelaide sites move at different contract dates?

Yes. Each site moves on its own date, one at a time, over as many months as the current contracts need.

Start with the end date and notice window for each current agreement, then add any stated exit cost before a move is proposed.

The sequence gets reviewed as each date nears.

#### Does a staged move avoid every early payout?

Not always.

The review compares each current date, notice window, stated exit cost and proposed quote without deciding the outcome in advance.

Operations and finance then decide from those inputs whether a site moves, and when.

Ask the current provider for its payout figure in writing.

#### What support process applies in Adelaide and regional SA?

According to Global Document Solutions, a technician generally attends in Adelaide within four hours.

Regional SA towns are generally seen the next business day, as a process and never a written term.

Global Document Solutions runs the agreement and the ticket queue, while an authorised dealer or the manufacturer does the work on site.

#### How are Adelaide and regional sites priced?

Standard plans are tailored to the business, and the printers are supplied under the agreement.

Excess page rates are in the quote. They are normally the same everywhere.

Nothing here assumes pooled volume, one rate or a price set by distance.

Before you agree, ask for each printer and its plan to be listed, site by site.

### Send the dates and get the order in writing

The end dates matter more than the device list at this stage.

Send what you know and we will work out the order sites should move in.
