Technology problems rarely stay neatly inside one box.

A printer can depend on the network. A phone system can depend on connectivity. IT issues can affect the tools your whole team uses.

That is why having support across more of the business technology environment can make such a difference.

As Provest puts it:

“Consensus is one awesome supplier to have by your side when it comes to your company's Printing, Telephone and IT assistance.” — Management, Provest

One problem should not have to become three suppliers pointing at each other.

Your printer is not just a printer. It is a connected device on your business network.

Modern multifunction printers can store, scan, email and share documents, which means they should form part of the wider conversation about access, updates and cybersecurity. Security planning should consider the whole technology environment, not only laptops and desktops.

When reviewing your business security, remember the devices sitting quietly in the corner too.

Is your printer included in your cybersecurity planning?

The printer price is only one part of the picture. Toner, maintenance, repairs, unnecessary printing, device downtime and the time spent managing supplies can all add to the real cost of your print environment.

Without visibility, those costs can be easy to overlook.

A managed print approach can help businesses understand how devices are being used, plan consumables and maintenance more effectively and identify opportunities to control costs.

When last did you review what your business is actually spending on print?

A supplier can promise great service. The real test is what happens after you log the call.

Petri Botha from ProTek says:

“We have been doing business with Consensus since 2016. The response time to call logging is always on time. They have a very wide range of IT related products and their support and service provided is of a very high standard.”

Reliable technology is important. Reliable support behind that technology matters just as much.

If your team spends too much time following up on faults, support calls or different suppliers, it may be time to review the way your technology is managed.

Your phone system should make it easier for customers and employees to connect, not create more work.

Missed calls, complicated extensions, poor support for remote staff, limited reporting and difficulty adding users can all be signs that the current setup is no longer keeping pace with the business.

The right communication solution should be easier to manage and able to grow with your team.

Swipe through the 5 signs that it may be time to review your business phone system.

When technology stops working, being able to speak to someone who understands your environment makes a difference.

Good support is not only about logging a ticket. It is about communication, accountability and getting the right person involved without unnecessary delays.

Consensus has been supporting businesses since 2001, combining technology solutions with local service and support.

Because support should feel close enough to understand the problem, not distant enough to become another frustration.

Lease or buy? There isn't one right answer for every business.

Buying may suit businesses that prefer to own their equipment outright, while leasing can provide access to newer technology without the same upfront investment.

But the decision shouldn't only be about how you pay for the device. Consider what you need it to do.

The Ricoh SD Series combines colour multifunction printing with high-volume scanning, making it a strong option for businesses managing large volumes of documents.

Its scanning capabilities can also form part of a broader digital archiving solution, helping businesses move from paper-heavy processes towards more efficient digital document management.

Before deciding whether to lease or buy, consider:
What do you print? How much do you scan? And how are those documents stored afterwards?

Talk to Consensus about the right print and document solution for your requirements.

How many different numbers does your team have to call when something goes wrong?

Printers, CCTV, PABX or VoIP and IT may all be separate systems, but in a working office they often depend on one another.

Managing more of that environment through one technology partner can mean fewer hand-offs, clearer support and less time spent working out who should deal with the problem.

Consensus provides business technology solutions across print, security, communications and IT.

A printer stops connecting. The printer supplier says it is the network. IT says the printer looks fine. Another supplier gets pulled into the conversation and suddenly you are coordinating the fault yourself.

The problem is not always the technology. Sometimes it is unclear ownership.

When systems overlap, businesses need to know who is responsible for investigating the issue, coordinating the right people and keeping the customer informed.

Swipe through to see how the supplier blame game happens and why clearer accountability matters.
