Office Process Automation

You’ve just hit “print” and walk over to the printer. Unfortunately, your document is either buried under a stack of someone else’s pages or nowhere in sight.

This can be especially frustrating in a busy office where time is precious. A print environment with lost documents, wasted prints, and sensitive information left out in the open is a sign that it isn’t working as well as it should.

Follow Me Printing helps solve this problem.

We’ve specialized in simplifying and securing print environments for nearly 40 years. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what Follow Me Printing is, how it works, and whether it’s a good fit for your organization.

There’s a moment most print teams run into at some point. You send a job that looks perfect on your screen, with sharp colors and smooth gradients. Then it comes off the printer, and it doesn’t look right. The colors are slightly different, and the grays look tinted.

The problem is most likely not with your printer but with color management. And in production printing, that’s exactly where tools like Fiery step in.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we work with print environments every day where color accuracy is a must. And once teams understand how Fiery color management actually works, they start to see why it plays such a big role in consistency, efficiency, and cost control.

Printing is one of those things most organizations don’t think much about until it starts causing problems.

Maybe toner runs out right before an important deadline. Maybe the IT team spends more time troubleshooting printers than supporting core systems. Or maybe costs slowly creep up because supplies are being ordered manually from multiple vendors.

These challenges are especially common in organizations where printers were added over time without a clear strategy. What starts as a few devices can quickly turn into a complicated environment with dozens of machines, different service providers, and little visibility into overall printing costs.

That’s exactly the situation one government organization in Denton found itself facing.

Most organizations don’t wake up one morning and decide they need an Enterprise Management System. What usually happens instead is that files live in one platform, approvals happen in another, and teams waste time trying to piece everything together.

In fact, research from IDC has shown that knowledge workers can spend nearly 16% of their time searching for information. That’s a full day each week lost to digital scavenger hunts.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve seen businesses struggle because their tools don’t work together.

That’s why understanding the definition of an Enterprise Management System (EMS) is important.

In this guide, we’ll explain what an EMS is, how it differs from Content Management Systems (CMS) and Document Management Systems (DMS) platforms, what problems it solves, and how to know whether your organization is ready for one.

Many organizations start researching CMS (content management systems) only to run into another acronym: DMS (document management system). These sound similar, but the truth is they solve very different business problems.

Not knowing the difference between a CSM and a DMS can lead to the wrong system choice, resulting in messy workflows, compliance gaps, and wasted budget. When you understand what each platform is built to do, the decision becomes much clearer.

In this guide, we’ll compare CMS vs. DMS so you can determine which system actually fits your environment.
