When you’re setting out to manage risks within your company, you’re probably focused on the big-ticket problem areas, like document security, finances, and work environments. However, the truth is that one of the most important parts of business savvy risk management is also one of the most overlooked: print security.

The secret of successful remote teams.

In a pre-pandemic era, a day of working from home meant you’d get way more done. Maybe you’d blaze through that mountain of work that had been stacking up, clear your head with a little fresh air, and even get back to the basics of the big vision you started with in the first place.

With concerns about COVID-19 escalating across Oklahoma, we want to assure everyone Standley Systems is taking appropriate measures to minimize impact however possible. In addition to following CDC guidelines, we are taking the following actions to avoid business disruption for Standley clients.

No two businesses are the same. Your business has specific goals and objectives. Whether your business is small, medium, or large, technology is important. It can make or break your operations and workflow.

A hybrid cloud system is a unified, flexible and cost-optimal cloud-based IT infrastructure solution that combines private and public cloud services. It can provide your business with the functionality required to optimize workloads and move between services as needed.

Construction companies have the same charge as any other organization to stay on-trend and meet consumers where they are. Potential clients need to be able to see what you can do and how you will work to fulfill their vision.

Security isn’t a one-and-done solution for any company, unfortunately. It’s an ongoing, ever-evolving project that businesses have to be diligent about.

As of September 2019, there have been over 500 data breaches with an estimated 35 million patient records compromised. This is three times the amount of 2017! Hackers realize the importance of this information and are not slowing down on gaining access to medical records.

We know that plenty of businesses say that they can save you money, and the reality is that you don’t need a service for everything. Often, there are specialty services that address a time consuming, costly issue, that as a business you shouldn’t be spending any excess money or time on. Print is exactly one of those business functions.

Outsourcing print production seems easy – just send it out and await the finished product, right? But if you’re like all managers interested in cost management, you may be paying way more for high-volume print jobs than you need to.

You lock your office every night, shut down your computer, and ensure that everything is secure. You have alarms, cameras, and alerts for any possible break-ins. 

Managed print is something you hear about often, as in, “You should try managed print!” But you may not be super familiar with the ins and outs of what it can actually do for you. That’s okay – we’ll break it down for you, including the reasons why it works for so many businesses (hint: savings).

Managed services have now advanced to a point of being a make-it or break-it add on for many businesses, including small or medium sized businesses.

Printing is one office output that can add up faster than others. Why? Because supplies, toner, excessive use, inappropriate use, and waste all go unnoticed by employers often, driving print costs over budget and requiring extra funds every month.

How does HIPAA relate to copier security? Well, establishing that office printers and copiers are HIPAA compliant is a critical aspect of health care operations. All print technology and other equipment data must be secured and maintained as outlined in HIPAA. This includes all office machines, from printers to fax machines or copiers. The functionality to produce or output information must be secured to be in compliance.

Does your print environment have an inline strategy with your sustainability plans? If not, it should. Print is one of the main drivers behind recycling issues, excess waste, and sustainability problems.

Using an outsourcing company for printing projects seems simple and convenient: send the design by email, request the number of prints, and get the copies back.

Having a rock-solid security plan in today’s world means not only physical security but also cybersecurity. It’s critical to invest in risk management across your business, network, and data systems. That means leaning into all security options to ensure your business is completely protected, even from a printer security breach.

Law firms need streamlined workflows just like any other business, but are sometimes strangely slow to adopt the most up-to-date technology. This doesn’t make sense – and if you think there are more efficient ways for your firm to operate functionally, you’re probably right.

Disaster recovery used to be something that was outside the realm of reality for most businesses.

Production printing is an operational change at your business that can have a big return on investment.

Cybersecurity is a big business, especially in today’s data-based world.

Some hackers are amateur, others are professional. What they all have in common is the ability to identify weak points in a computer system or network. Once that vulnerability is breached, they gain full access to your entire network and the data it contains.

Printers are indispensable in modern offices, but they do require stocking and regular maintenance. A printer that doesn’t work is more than an inconvenience. It a cause of lost productivity, and the costs the company money. Here’s why so many businesses are now choosing managed print services.

The offset printing process uses a paper roll that is fed through the press and printed on. This is a different process from using precut sheets of paper to feed into the printing press. When offset printing is used to print pictures, the process uses a plate that presses against a layer of rubber before it makes contact with the paper, and this prints the image. The printing is offset because the plate doesn’t come into direct contact with the paper.

Plenty of people make New Year’s resolutions, but does your company? The beginning of a new year can be the perfect time to break some of your business’s bad habits, minimize business risk and boost benefits – all while being an easier resolution to keep than going to the gym every day!

Everything has two costs: the “price,” and the real price. The former is simple to calculate because it’s up-front, obvious, and usually has a clean price-tag to explain everything–but the latter is what you need to look out for. Take, for example, the real price of printing. You might be spending a lot more than you thought–and a lot more than you need to.

We’ve all heard the words “disaster recovery,” especially after all of the hurricanes, fires, floods, and more that have been on the news lately. However, do you know if your company is actually prepared to keep functioning in the face of natural or digital threats? The good news is that either way, managed IT is here to help. This is how managed IT can help companies facing a crisis.

Some business solutions were designed to handle one problem or need at a time–and that’s fine. Still, though, the savviest businesses know that some solutions can be utilized to solve problems and provide new opportunities. Believe it or not, in-house production printing is one of those solutions.

It’s not always easy to manage risks in your company.

Does it help you prepare for the new opportunities and benefits that your company will be able to enjoy? Can it show you the measurable improvements you’ll see immediately and over time?

Sometimes it can be hard to know when it’s time to embrace managed IT. There’s a lot to consider and a lot of variables to weigh–but when it comes to your law firm, you want only the best, so you need to know how to make an informed decision. Today, we’ll look at some critical signs that it’s time to make the call.

Production printing doesn’t just fill one need–in fact, it fills multiple, providing far-reaching benefits that can make waves throughout your company. When you choose a production printer, you’re choosing a powerful and streamlined tool that will offer new opportunities you might not even have guessed at.

Risk management comes in a lot of shapes and sizes, but one of the strongest and most efficient ways to cut down on problems and boost company-wide strength is to use managed services for law firms.

When your print environment has problems, then your entire company suffers. That can be catastrophic in any industry, but when it comes to healthcare, the stakes are naturally higher–so what can be done? Luckily, that’s where managed print comes in, healing the healthcare industry one printer at a time.

For many businesses, there are still a lot of questions surrounding the cloud–but one of the most important is, how do we handle security when it comes to the cloud? Often, it seems like there are too many unknowns, and that makes companies uncomfortable. Luckily, all it takes to keep your data safe and sound in the cloud is a little bit of know-how that you might already have for securing the cloud.

Production printing can be a crucial part of your workflow, a strong addition to your company, an efficient solution for a variety of needs–but sometimes, as your company embraces changes, new problems will arise. Here’s what to look for in order to make sure your production printer is working for you.

The healthcare industry is resilient in the midst of an ever-changing world–but resilience isn’t always easy. There are a lot of things to focus on, a lot of changes to weather, and a lot of new opportunities that you’d love to take advantage of (as long as they don’t make things harder instead of easier). What does resilience in healthcare look like, and how can you achieve it?

Ransomware is one of the scariest and most threatening risks swirling around in the digital world today. It can cause loss of time, money, and vital data, not to mention a whole host of other security issues. How can you defend against ransomware? It looks like it’s time for some managed IT wisdom!

For any job, it’s important to know you’re using the right tools. Production printing is no exception. In today’s world, there are a lot of printing options available, not to mention a huge variety of technological functions–but the biggest thing you need to focus on is the difference between a wide format printer and a production printer.

Every business knows a thing or two about risk management, but when it comes to healthcare, the stakes are considerably higher. The kind of sensitive information handled by the healthcare industry on a daily basis must be protected–and that means compliance with specialized regulations. This can be a lot to handle. Luckily, risk management when it comes to compliance is as simple as the click of a few buttons.

“Cure-all” is a pretty big promise, especially in the healthcare industry. However, when it comes to all of the complex, expensive, time-consuming workflow problems that can plague healthcare organizations, it’s no overstatement to say that managed print really does cure those paper woes.

Do you think that small- or medium-sized companies are safe from hackers because of their size? The truth is that this just isn’t the case. In fact, sometimes hackers specifically target the smaller companies, looking for easy prey–but luckily, when you use managed IT services, your data and your company can rest easy knowing there are experts on your side.

There are a lot of ways to make sure your company is on top of its game, but one of the techniques that often gets overlooked is in-house printing. Never underestimate the power of well-structured, well-organized production printing that takes place right where you need it–you might be surprised just how many benefits there are.

All companies value document security, but when it comes to the papers and files being used every day in the healthcare industry, a different standard of safety is expected. The sensitive information that any healthcare organization handles on a daily basis must be protected – and document management for healthcare is easier (and more efficient) than you think.

Standley Systems offers cost-effective Managed IT solutions that help students and teachers in the education industry work smarter and learn more effectively with increased safety and security.

Large organizations typically have the ability to keep a large and robust IT team on staff full time. Small and medium-sized businesses, however, often don’t have that luxury. This doesn’t mean that those organizations don’t have the same needs; rather, it means that they must look elsewhere for support.

The architecture industry relies heavily on visual representations. Wide format printing is standard in architecture and construction, yet many businesses only use black and white to print. This is a missed opportunity for many. Adding color to your wide prints gives you many benefits.

When you decide to implement a Managed Print Service, the first step is the most important: the print assessment. Managed Print is the most effective way to maintain your print fleet, reduce print related costs, and boost productivity in the office. To achieve all of that, you need to know what you're working with.

Keeping your network up and running, as well as running securely, is the business of Managed IT. If you take a closer look, however, you’ll see that Managed IT offers even more.These are the main benefits of managed IT.

Despite the ever-evolving nature of communication and the growing number of ways to connect to one another, voice calls still matter — particularly in business. This means, too, however, that the ways in which we use voice calls should change alongside other technologies.

Though we often don’t realize it as we go about our day to day business, our office equipment’s performance is critical to daily functionality. This fact becomes abundantly clear when a copier or printer stops working. Downtime on any piece of office equipment impacts your business, so it’s important to focus on keeping your devices up and running.

One step closer to a healthier organization! Standley Systems kicked off its Healthy Living Initiative, Saturday across the state with the Standley Systems Healthy Living Fitness Challenge.

One month into 2017 and we have hit the ground running. What a year 2017 has been so far. We are so blessed to have had such momentum in 2016 that has carried us into 2017.

Looking for a Christmas activity for the whole family? Load up your vehicle and head to Chickasha, Oklahoma to see the Festival of Light and Standley Systems Holiday Hay Bale displays.

Oklahoma’s budget shortfall has negatively impacted education, and schools are re-evaluating their expenses. Administrators are being asked to outsource, “right size,” and tailor solutions to cut costs.  Standleys can help schools and universities in this difficult budget year by managing print operations, providing support, and handling processes—all of which can lead to additional revenue.

Oil and gas prices got you down? Standley Systems understands. We’ve been part of the Oklahoma business landscape for more than 80 years and have seen economic highs and lows for generations.

Mother Nature constantly tests Oklahomans throughout the year, but especially during severe weather season. The time and expense caused by lost data can seriously affect your bottom line.  Is your business ready to handle a power outage, or worse, caused by a tornado, severe storm, or flood?

At Standley Systems, we are blessed to have the best team around. In appreciation of our employees’ dedication and hard work in 2015 we took time out to celebrate at OU’s Molly Shi Boren Ballroom.

Standley Systems is pleased to announce that we have extended our reach to include Northeastern Oklahoma and Kay County with the addition of our Ponca City location, formerly Kay Office Equipment. The grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting for the inauguration of our Ponca City Technology Portal took place on January 14.

At Standley Systems, we believe that the most important test of our society’s technology is the ways in which we use it. We must do our part to enrich the lives of others, and when it comes to 3d printing, Oklahoma City locals have found ways to make it work for the community. Man’s best friend is not excluded from that kindness. Here is an update on Derby, a dog born without fully formed front legs.

Are your documents taking over your office space? Are documents being lost along the way? At Standley Systems, it is our priority to ensure that our clients’ daily operations and processes are as streamlined and efficient as possible.

The 2015 Holiday Hay Bale Display in Chickasha

As temperatures drop and the first flakes of snow draw near, the city of Chickasha is getting in the holiday spirit. Standley Systems is sponsoring this year’s holiday hay bale display to kick off the annual Festival of Lights.

There’s no denying printing can be costly. The expense of the machine, toner, maintenance and other supplies like paper adds up quickly. However, there are ways to reduce your print costs, without sacrificing print quality. One way is to buy used printers or like-new machines from a reputable source.

Sometimes, standard-sized paper can’t adequately capture a project’s broad details or bold visual impacts. For professionals in industries including architecture, engineering, transportation, real estate and marketing, wide-format technology is an office necessity. The addition of a wide-format printer saves Standley Systems’ clients time and money and brings them greater efficiency by eliminating the need to outsource print jobs.

Standley Systems understands for many of today’s law firms printing continues to be an unnecessary cost center. Firms that are billing and tracking all of their document creation expenses are saving valuable time and recapturing thousands of dollars per month in print costs.

At Standley Systems, we understand the importance of your bottom line and long-term goals and objectives. We partner with our clients to develop a strategic print solution using our Optimize Managed Print Services (MPS) Program. Our purpose and partnership strategy is to transition our clients from a complex print environment to a simple, fully visible print environment that is easy to monitor, measure and manage. 

At Standley Systems, we see the value in our technology and services; however, we know seeing is believing. That’s why we’ve built technology portals, where we can replicate our clients’ office environments and showcase our capabilities to improve their operations.

If your printer is more than a few years old, you may notice it doesn’t operate quite like it used to. It’s malfunctioning easily; it’s becoming a money pit; and it’s frustrating your employees. While your printer may have been a cost-effective option at the time of purchase, its ongoing upkeep may be canceling out your initial savings.
