Konica Minolta provided the college with a range of solutions and services to help manage their print environment. Primarily this solution included PaperCut, a pay-for-print cost management solution which could integrate with the college’s existing print swipe card. The solution also comprised optical character recognition software (i2Scan) for better document management, pull printing and remote device monitoring with automated toner ordering (Konica Minolta’s OPS Advanced Monitoring).
Jim Watkins comments: “The Pull Printing* solution has really improved workplace efficiency, encouraging more responsible print behaviour among our staff and students.
It is complemented by the pay-for-print management software, PaperCut, which we chose to track printing and reduce waste, saving us money. Both are really good products. We have found the accuracy of the data recorded really useful. In fact, most staff and departments were shocked when they started monitoring their real spend in this area. The combined solution has significantly lowered print volumes and delivered cost savings to the college.”
Mark Henderson, Konica Minolta Business Development Manager, commented: “The solutions we have supplied to Santa Maria College have been tailored to their needs. PaperCut offers cost control for staff and students and the AirPrint solution we provided allowed all school stakeholders to print via a wireless connection with laptops, tablets etc.”
At the same time as the college adopted the new, improved print management, they felt a hardware upgrade was timely and again they chose our demonstrably reliable devices. They installed a range of monochrome and colour MFDs (24 in total) and one production printer.”
