Increased their efficiency by installing software on existing printers
Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is no stranger to the benefits of Managed Print Services with Print Management.
When their current contract was under review and a new brand of multifunction devices and networked printers were sourced, they turned their attention to their print management solution to see if they could get more control and value than their current provider could provide. They found that and much more with YSoft SafeQ.
While reducing the costs of their print services is a key target for Tameside. A larger issue they wanted to address was, increasing their IT flexibility with their existing printer fleet. They had a fleet of 112 Konica Minolta MFDs and 10 desktop devices. But they needed to be able to relocate these devices as demand changes across their sites. The solution also needed to enable print, copy and scan services for a flexible workforce. Like many other local authorities, Tameside shares their devices with some NHS bodies. In this case the local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), who have their own active directory. So the solution needed to be able to identify whether the individual from the council or the CCG. And also match against the relevant payroll and accounting systems.
Konica Minolta's deployment of YSoft SafeQ went smoothly, is safe, secure and it runs like a dream...With YSoft SafeQ, I do not have to rely on IT to make changes. The dashboard allows me to see all our licenses which makes my life much easier.
