Here are a few of our favorites, but be sure to visit the full rant here for a good laugh.
Can you relate to these problems? Then it may be time to contact Great Lakes today.

On this eve of Thanksgiving, Great Lakes Computer is thankful for our customers, avid blog readers, and for the excitement of the ever changing world of technology. But as technology advances, we are grateful that print is NOT dead.
We have a new brochure that discusses the many benefits of our Managed Print Services. We encourage you to check it out and find out why Great Lakes Managed Print Services may be a great fit for your company’s print needs!
Don’t just take our word for it. Our current clients are talking as well:
“John and his team are very courteous, knowledgeable, and quick to resolve and satisfy any of my printing needs. All issues are addressed in a timely fashion and are attended to by their expert technical support department. Further, Great Lakes Computer offers a cost effective solution to the ever increasing printing demands of our company. When we started using Great Lakes Managed Print Services I was skeptical that they could provide better service at a reduced cost over our internal resources handling this. I am happy to acknowledge I was wrong the Managed Printer Services provides better support at a reduced cost to our company. ”

“Dental Services Group has 24 locations spread across the United States. Our Information Technology team was looking for a cost effective and customer focused national partner to help us manage our fleet of printers. We used to spend time troubleshooting things like paper feed issues, paper jams, and general printer issues. This took valuable time away from our team when they should have been concentrating on producing for our customers. John and the team at Great Lakes have been customer focused. If we have an issue with a printer, we pick up the phone and speak with a friendly Great Lakes employee within a few seconds. Great Lakes’ network of tech is able to come on site to any of our facilities and keep our fleet of HP LaserJet printers running smoothly and efficiently. By intelligently monitoring our printers in the background, Great Lakes can proactively send out toner for our printers before their current cartridges are empty. This has also almost eliminated printer related calls to our internal Help Desk.”

Happy Thanksgiving – Enjoy the Light Reading.
Not so very long ago, the computer revolution was holding out the promise of a truly paperless office. All the information individuals needed, the conventional wisdom went, would be held in data systems and could be instantly called up onto video screens when needed, while sophisticated spreadsheet and analysis software would be able to crunch and disaggregate all this information in increasingly useful ways.
As any CIO knows, the promise of the paperless office has never materialized. Instead, the trend toward computerization actually drove businesses in the opposite direction. As producing professional-looking reports and documents became a task that could be handled entirely in-house, the modern office became more inundated with paper than ever before. Businesses had to gradually increase their budgets for clerical functions in order to supply the organization with enough printers, ink, toner, paper, and other supplies to meet this need.
This trend has continued to accelerate, with the predictable result that printing budgets in many companies are out of control. One simple way to rein them in is to transition to a managed print services approach. Not only does this approach deliver significant cost savings, but it can also improve the quality control of print jobs.
The term “managed print services” generally refers to the unified management of hardware used to produce documents. Such hardware includes not just the traditional laser printer, but also copy machines, fax machines, and multifunction devices such as all-in-one fax/scanner/printer combinations. Companies using managed print services most often contract with an outside vendor to perform this function.
Managed print services contractors produce business efficiencies and cost savings in several ways. They proactively maintain hardware, providing print services so that company downtime can be minimized. They furnish the organization with consolidated bills that involve simply invoicing, and in some cases, eliminating a host of supply-purchasing needs related to print functions. Contractors also optimize the print environment to be as streamlined as possible, sometimes providing specialized software applications that can further this optimization.
