Customer Success Story: Catholic Education Western Australia
Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) supports 163 schools and over 80,000 students across WA. Without a centralised procurement system, print practices varied widely across its five offices, leaving costs and usage hard to manage.
Konica Minolta built a tailored fleet of 13 managed devices with PaperCut MF, then developed custom Power BI dashboards for clear, data driven visibility into print spend. Ongoing collaboration has kept the fleet lean and closely aligned with CEWA’s cloud first digital strategy.
Choosing Konica Minolta as our partner was a strategic decision driven by CEWA’s unique challenges and future aspirations. It allowed us to streamline our print infrastructure and introduce new technologies aligned with our cloud-first approach.
