Vendor Selection for Multifunctional Products Multifunctional products are digital-based output products that consolidate one or more output functions, including printing, copying, faxing and scanning. The benefits of moving from three or four platforms to one device can result in significant savings for the enterprise: savings on initial acquisition price, on maintenance cost and supplies, savings on service charges, savings on outsourcing costs, and space savings. However, the evolutionary nature of the multifunctional product market today requires end-users to carefully examine the manufacturers’ products to ensure that they do not sacrifice functionality when moving to a multifunctional platform. The vendor selection research is designed to help enterprises select the most appropriate multifunctional product platform based on comprehensive criteria, best practice weightings and detailed information about vendors and their products.   Tour Test drive our Vendor Selection Tools to better understand how they can work for you.
