## Managed print services versus leasing, in one minute

Several offices on leases that end on different dates? Watch one agreement take over in 64 seconds.

### What does each part of the film show?

Four parts, none longer than twenty seconds.

- 0:00 What a lease covers, against one managed agreement.
- 0:13 Offices crossing over one at a time, each as its lease ends.
- 0:27 What changes for finance, and three limits to plan around.
- 0:46 One end date for the group, or one that grows as offices join.

### Seen the film? Price your own offices

List the offices first. End dates can follow.

### What changes when an office leaves its lease?

According to the film, six things change for that office.

A separate lease against one agreement, according to the film and GDS's written answers.

| Question | On a separate lease | On one managed agreement |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it covers | Some leases cover the finance only | Toner and parts in every one of the 3 plans, plus the service labour |
| The invoice | One for each lease | A single bill for the group, plus each office's report |
| A fault | Wherever that office's service is arranged | One queue for every office |
| When it joins | Not applicable | The month its lease ends, or sooner if GDS pays the lease out |
| The end date | Its own date, office by office | One date for the group, or one that extends |
| Printers you own | Stay where they are | Cannot join, so each office is supplied one |

A payout depends on the amount owing and finance approval.

Global Document Solutions shows in one 64 second film how offices leave separate leases for one managed print agreement.

### Every line the film speaks, in order

Read it here if sound is off where you are.

0:00 A lease against one agreement

Some leases cover only the finance.

One managed agreement puts toner, parts, labour, and servicing in every plan.

So can one agreement replace them all?

0:13 One office at a time

Yes. One office at a time, as each lease ends.

The first office to finish starts the agreement.

Later offices join as their leases end.

0:27 What changes, and what does not

Finance gets one invoice and a report for each site.

Faults from every office go to one queue.

Offices still on a lease carry on.

A lease ending in month fourteen joins in month fourteen.

Owned printers cannot join.

0:46 Choosing the end dates

Then choose: one end date for every office, or an end date that extends.

Leasing and servicing office print fleets for Australian businesses since 2010.

Transcribed from the film's own captions. Last updated 7 November 2026.

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.

### Where does a group go after the film?

The written version is the full comparison of managed print and leasing, office by office.

It lists the questions every current lease should answer.

Holding several leases now? Work out which lease ends first.

That office starts the agreement.

Each office goes on one of the 3 plans the film mentions.

Every plan covers toner and parts, with labour and servicing.

Each plan is priced per printer, office by office.

How one agreement runs across a whole group covers the rest.

The site by site cost review is complimentary, according to Global Document Solutions.

There is no obligation to go ahead.

### What viewers ask after the film

#### Can an office join before its lease ends?

Usually it joins the month its own lease ends.

According to Global Document Solutions, it can also pay out a lease early, or move what is still owed onto the new agreement.

Both are subject to the amount owing and finance approval.

#### Does every office have to end on the same date?

No. You choose one end date for every office, or one that extends as offices join.

#### What is in every plan the film mentions?

All three cover toner and parts, plus the technician's labour to keep each printer running.

Each office goes on the plan that suits it.

### Put your own offices in the film's order

Name each office and roughly when its lease ends.

A guess is fine.
