If you're around the Oracle in Reading Centre on Saturdays between now and Christmas, do keep an eye open for the Salvation Army band.

You'll even see our very own Phil playing the Bass as part of the band, so do give an extra loud cheer if you see him. 🎶

Christmas is a time for giving and sharing.
How is your business plan supporting your local community this festive season?

One of the ways Archway is supporting the community this year is through the Salvation Army's Community Carol Concert, which is raising money to support local families.

If you're available, please do buy tickets and come along, or share with someone who you think would be interested.

We hope to see you there! 🎄

Are You Maximising Your Hardware Investment?

It's a common, costly mistake: businesses routinely replace printers (via lease or purchase) every 3-4 years. This is a massive underutilisation of a depreciating asset and inflates your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Modern, quality print equipment is engineered to perform reliably for 6 to 7 years, sometimes significantly longer. You shouldn't be forced into a premature replacement cycle.

We help companies shift their strategy from short-term churn to maximum asset lifespan, optimising both their budget and equipment uptime.

How long do you expect your printer to last?
Many organisations plan to replace print devices every 3 to 5 years, as they believe they are built to this intended lifespan.

However, printers are constructed with durable steel frames and long-lasting components, ensuring they are designed to last seven years or more. Additionally, Lexmark provides a range of customisable extended warranty plans, allowing your customers to keep their devices in use even longer.

This is not only better for the environment, but also your finances.

If you'd like more information then get in touch and we'll be delighted to help you.

Does it feel as if you're being encouraged to upgrade your printer (by lease or purchasing) ever 3-4 years? You don't need to be changing printers this frequently. It's not good for your finances, or the environment. 

Instead, your printer should be lasting 6-7 years, or even longer in some cases.

If you feel stuck in a rut and want to get out of a regular print purchase/leasing cycle, then get in touch with us to discuss your options.
