Konica Minolta provides cost savings and improved fleet management at Byford Secondary College

Customer Benefits

• Konica Minolta MFDs order their own consumables, ensuring the college doesn’t run out
• Staff members don’t have to spend time ordering consumables or tracking printing
• Educators can access their printouts from anywhere in the college
• Tracking printing costs and charging back to departments is simple and automated

Having a homogenous fleet of Konica Minolta machines provided the cost savings and reduced complexity that Byford Secondary College required. The managed print services arrangement means that the college never runs out of consumables, so the printers stay up and running whenever staff and students need them.

Andrea Wright said, “Automatic ordering saves on administrative time for the team and the MFDs run themselves. This even includes if a machine needs a new drum, for example. It sends a message to Konica Minolta, including the fact that a drum is required, so the technicians can bring the drum with them when they come, saving a trip.”

Furthermore, being able to track which departments are printing and charge the costs back to them helps the college manage its budgets more effectively.

The strong relationship with Konica Minolta is a driving factor in Byford Secondary College’s decision to purchase a new machine recently.

Andrea Wright said, “If the college ever has a question for Konica Minolta, we can ring or email and have a response back very quickly. The support is outstanding. While the college has just purchased a new machine, we are moving towards a leasing arrangement and it was unbelievable how easy the lease process was.
