What Ice Cream Flavor is Your Office Technology?
A completely scientific summer assessment . . . well, almost.
Summer brings sunshine, warmer days and the perfect excuse to grab a scoop of ice cream. It also raises an important question that has probably never crossed your mind: What ice cream flavor best describes your office technology? Take a look around your workplace and see which flavor sounds familiar.
Vanilla: Dependable and Drama-Free
Vanilla does not need sprinkles, hot fudge and a waffle cone to prove itself. It is familiar, reliable and gets the job done.
If your copier prints, scans and copies without demanding constant attention, you may have a classic vanilla setup. It may not be the loudest personality in the office, but dependable technology is always a good choice.
Rocky Road: Full of Unexpected Bumps
Does your printer jam five minutes before an important meeting? Does the toner run out only when you need 50 color copies immediately?
Welcome to Rocky Road.
An occasional problem is normal. But when employees spend more time clearing jams, replacing supplies and decoding mysterious error messages than completing their work, it may be time for some professional support.
Neapolitan: Trying to Please Everyone
Neapolitan combines three flavors in one container. Your office technology may be doing the same thing.
Today’s multifunction printers can print, scan, copy and help manage documents. But even the most capable device needs to be properly matched to your office’s workload. Otherwise, one department takes all the chocolate while everyone else is left with vanilla.
Mint Condition: Fresh, Fast and Efficient
Mint condition technology runs smoothly, works quickly and helps employees stay productive. It may include newer equipment, automated workflows, secure printing and features your team actually knows how to use.
With the right software and workflow solutions, your office can spend less time tracking down documents and more time getting work done.
Refreshing, efficient and no brain freeze required.
Mystery Flavor: Nobody Knows What It Is
Every office seems to have one device that has been around forever. No one remembers when it arrived, where the manual went or why it makes that strange noise every afternoon.
It prints occasionally, scans when it feels appreciated and has a handwritten note taped to it that says, “Do not use Tray 2.”
That is the mystery flavor.
