HP MFP Product Positioning
Definition:Extend your LaserJet experience – Increase workgroup capabilities and save money with a device that uniquely combines the capabilities of a printer, digital copier, fax, scanner, and the advanced technology of digital sending
Key Benefits:Optimizing workgroup through consolidation of devices
• Getting 90% of your daily printing and imaging needs in 1 reliable device
• Productivity Gains
• Functionality closer to end-users
• Easy to deploy and manage for IT
• Cost Savings
• In a 2004 study of medium to large organizations, IDC found companies achieved cost savings of up to 40% with device consolidation - depending on the scope of implementation (average savings achieved = 23%)

Starting the conversation
Who to talk to?
Small and Medium Business:
Owner, IT Mgr., Line of Business Mgr., Purchasing Mgr.
Large/Corporate Business:
IT Director, CTO/CIO, Line of Business Mgr.
Stick with the message that HP MFPs are HP LaserJet printers, but have additional functionality
April 19, 2023 5
The Ideal Prospect• Lots of opportunity:−Small (micro) businesses (1-10 employees):
need to do more with less−Small businesses (10-100 employees) want to
add new functionality to their devices−Medium businesses (100-500 employees)
looking at stream-lining work-flows−Large/Corporate companies (500+ employees)
right-sizing their entire printing and imaging fleet
−Vertical industries where HP has had success• Healthcare, legal, financial/accounting, manufacturing,
real estate related industries

Business drivers
What are your key…… MFPs can address?
Challenges ? – too many devices, inefficient workflow Changes? – moving to a decentralized I&P environmentGoals? – reduce costs, increase productivity Opportunities? – moving to a new bldg. – time to right-size
Problems? – under-utilized devices, paying for copying functionality that isn’t usedPriorities? – help to reduce paper workflows and organize electronic workflows Pressures? – reduced IT resources, need more efficient management tools

Printer purchase
Biggest customer benefit:
• Improve the productivity of the users by − bringing faster printers closer to users− adding additional functionality for a marginal investment
• Reduce toner costs with higher yield standard cartridges
Biggest customer concern:
•MFPs are substantially more expensive than a comparable HP single function printer

Making the Right ChoiceQuestions to ask your customers as they look at
upgrading their printer
• Do they currently have networked printers deployed?
• What are the ages and speeds of their printers?
• What is the current toner cost for their printers?
• Is document security (private printing) important in my environment?
• What is their need for document finishing?
• Do they have issues with paper storage and filing?
April 19, 2023 11
Device Optimization
Biggest customer advantage:
• Save money by consolidating devices • Increase productivity by− simplifying the end user experience− Bringing multiple functions closer to the user, and using
the same interface to perform those functions
Biggest customer concern:
If the device goes down, all functionality (print, copy, scan, fax) goes down and workers lose productivity.

MFP usage by function & why HP MFPs are the perfect solution
1. Printing is the predominant use for MFPs
HP MFPs are printer based devices
2. Scanning is the emerging functionalityHP MFPs come std. with send-to-
email3. Copying is on the declineHP MFPs offer reliable, convenience
copying 4. Distributed imaging and
printing is fast replacing centralization
HP MFPs smaller footprints allow them to be deployed closer to the workgroup

Making the Right ChoiceQuestions to ask your customers who are
consolidating their workgroup• What is their need for printing vs. copying vs. faxing?
• Are personal printers used by certain employees? Why?
• How much do they currently fax, and what does their existing fax infrastructure cost?
• Could some fax volumes be replaced or complimented with send to email?
• Can their paper-based work flows be simplified by using digital sending to send, store and archive documents?
• How much time is spent maintaining and managing multiple devices (toner replacement, trouble-shooting, etc.)

Customer Scenario #1• An IT manager from a local hospital calls with the following situation:
− Aging fleet of devices, various manufacturers, and can’t be remotely managed
− Wants to consolidate functions (fax, print, copy, scan) into one device that takes up less space in the nurse’s stations• Nurse stations primarily print information and copy insurance cards
− Need devices that can help the hospital comply with patient privacy laws, primarily HIPAA
− Looking at ways to automate the document flow through the organization to maintain privacy and help improve productivity of employees
•Go with a single vendor – HP – for simplicity and consistency across his network
•Recommend a demo of the LJ 4345mfp for the nurse stations. This product can consolidate the functions they need for a very low price point
•Highlight the fact that the 4345mfp is incredibly small for a 45ppm device, and was designed for these environments with high print needs, basic copy needs
•Ask additional questions regarding what they need from a scanning standpoint. Inform them that hp scanning solutions range from simple scan to folder to complex document management with the hp Autostore solution
•Emphasize the security features that we have standard (secure printing, LDAP authentication for send-to functionality
•Inform them that if they need additional security solutions, HP has partners that can help with essentially any type of security solution they could need

Customer Scenario #2• An office manger from a regional mortgage brokerage company has several
issues he needs help resolving:− They consistently receive faxes on letter and legal media, and need a faxing
solution that can recognize the size of incoming faxes− The different locations need a fast way to transmit copies of documents to the
corporate headquarters• The currently use a courier service, as the quality of faxes is not acceptable
− Need the ability to be able to remotely monitor the devices, and streamline ordering of supplies
− Basic stapling is a requirement− Looking for a solution under $5,000
An HP LaserJet 4345xs mfp will accomplish all of these objectives.• Small footprint for less than $4500• Print, copy, fax, scan and digital send. Digital send technology will allow the different locations to send near original quality documents to corporate at substantially lower costs than the current courier service
•DSS 4.0 will allow them to upgrade sending capabilities as the business grows
• Convenient document finishing capabilities – 30-sheet stapler/500-sheet stacker• Robust enough to handle up to 20 users• WebJet Admin will allow them to LaserJet technology means it’s easy to install, configure and manage. It also means a product with high reliability.
