FAQs
Get straight answers to the most common questions about print strategy, vendor management, and how Channel IP works.
What’s the difference between Channel IP and what a traditional Managed Print Service provider might include in their own audit?
Unlike traditional print providers that are typically aligned with a single manufacturer or brand, Channel IP operates as a fully independent consultancy. This independence ensures that our recommendations are impartial and tailored exclusively to your business needs free from sales targets or vendor obligations. Our audits are designed around your current environment and future objectives, not product promotions.
What does it mean that Channel IP is “vendor agnostic”, and how does that impact the recommendations you provide?
Being vendor agnostic means Channel IP isn’t focused on selling hardware or software and has no financial obligations with any print brands or manufacturers. This independence allows us to recommend only the most suitable solutions from across the entire market – based solely on your business needs. It’s a more objective and transparent approach to optimising your print environment.
How long does a typical review or audit take from the moment we share our data to receiving recommendations?
Once your print agreements and associated usage invoices are provided, we typically deliver a high-level summary within 1-2 business days. For larger, or onsite-based audits, we average around 5 minutes per device to complete the review. Following that, we present our findings and, where appropriate, outline clear next steps.
Is the review process confidential & discreet, and will our current provider know that we’re working with Channel IP?
Everything we do is completely confidential and discreet. Your current provider will not be contacted, and we do not share your information with third parties. We begin all engagements under a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect your data and intentions from the start.
How do your recommendations address existing provider contract obligations? Do you assist with negotiation or early exits?
Absolutely. We assess your current print agreements to spot risks and inefficiencies. If early termination or renegotiation is the best path, we provide clear guidance through the entire process, advising on supplier obligations and any communications required to deliver the most effective outcome to your business.
