Xerox Managed Print Services Helps the University of Nottingham Save Millions
The five-year agreement will save the university 25 percent in print costs year on year, with additional reductions from invoice and payment processing costs. For the first time, the university will manage its printing operations from a central location, which will provide greater insight into how devices are used, and what the printing needs are across campuses. Cost drains, such as uncontrolled printing and personal device ownership, can more easily be addressed, and the university can also re-charge printing costs internally to individual departments.
“As we worked to identify cost savings and plan for our future, we realised we needed data on devices and document printing across 60 departments,” said Jim Reed, the university’s director of procurement. “Xerox is helping us to manage our print operations through innovative solutions. Several other universities are keen to find out how the model could be applied to their own environments."
To support the increased use of mobile devices by the university’s staff, Xerox is launching a mobile print solution across the campus. Staff will now be able to print securely, directly from their smartphone, tablet or laptop, anytime and anywhere on campus.
“We’re working with the University of Nottingham to ‘futureproof’ the print environment so it supports students and staff today and for years to come,” said Amanda Abernethy, general manager and director of Large Enterprise Operations, Xerox U.K. “In this way, the university can stay focused on continuing to provide an excellent forum for study.”
As a partner to the U.K. government and public sector for more than 37 years, Xerox helps government departments simplify their document supply chains, removing duplicate business processes and achieving savings in cost and time.
