What is PaaS FM?

PaaS FM is a Managed Print Services (MPS) Program that concentrates on Hewlett Packard’s Popular LaserJet line of Laser Printers and Multi-Function Printers (MFP).

HP LaserJet Printers and MFPs are used in almost every business, organization and government office and require Supplies, Service, Maintenance & Support to keep them running & productive. This is very costly and time consuming for companies to manage on their own.

How does PaaS FM Work?

PaaS Fm is available in 12, 24, 36 or 48 Month Agreement Terms. Each month the customer is charge a small “Service Charge” for each Printer or MFP they have, they are also charged a small “cost-per-page” (CPP) printed. We bill our clients on the first of the month, for the previous month’s usage.

Example: Sales Department Printer = HP LaserJet 4250N – Monthly Service Charge = $20.00, Cost-per-Page = 1₵ per page
