Solution

A secure, managed print solution encompassing 324 devices

Challenge

The University was relying on a fragmented mix of managed and unmanaged print devices across the campus. There were issues with reliability which absorbed significant day-to-day resources, and the siloed nature of the fleet made it difficult to monitor and control the cost of operation.
 

Solution

The University is benefiting from a smart, agile work environment – one that offers flexibility, security and ease of use for students and staff alike. 324 MFDs have been deployed as part of a 100%, fully managed solution. To enhance security, students and staff need to authenticate themselves in order to print securely but they can do so from any device across the campus. Print management software also provides the University with insightful device performance information.
