Solution

Rationalised fleet of 35 Konica Minolta multi-functional devices, together with integrated print management software
Challenge

Complex print estate involving multiple contracts from different suppliers and 117 devices spread across four schools. This fragmented environment placed a heavy toll on support services but was also resulting in inefficiency and high waste levels.
 

Solution

A streamlined fleet of 35 Konica Minolta devices, together with integrated print management software to provide comprehensive device access control, centralised user management and in-depth output and cost reporting. Now, users simply enter their PIN number on the intuitive touchscreen and can print wherever is most convenient.

 
The solution is helping the school become more sustainable by reducing electricity costs and waste, increasing efficiency by reducing print volumes by up to 3 million sheets per year, improving print security and increasing helpdesk productivity (volume of IT help-desk enquiries related to printers has dropped by 95 percent).

Ben Whitaker

Head of ICT Services, Bury Grammar School

Konica Minolta was a company we could do business with. Other education customer’s reviews were very positive, the team was highly proactive and they understood precisely what the School was trying to achieve from the initial contact, to audit, right through to the delivery process.
