Summary

Through a strategic partnership with Konica Minolta, Prendiville Catholic College successfully streamlined its printing processes, reduced operational costs, and enhanced overall efficiency. By conducting a comprehensive audit and implementing tailored solutions, Konica Minolta simplified the college’s printer fleet and introduced advanced print management tools, significantly improving security and ease of use.

The Challenge

  • Overly Complex Fleet: The fleet included numerous models with varied finishing options, making management cumbersome and inefficient.
  • High Costs and Inefficiencies: Underutilised and overburdened devices led to elevated costs and operational inefficiencies.
  • Lack of Visibility: There was insufficient insight into actual usage patterns, hindering the optimisation of the document management system.

The Solution

  • Comprehensive Audit: During the tender process a thorough audit was conducted to assess the actual printing needs and identify inefficiencies within the existing fleet.
  • Optimised Fleet Deployment: Based on the audit results, Konica Minolta deployed 16 x A3 Multi-Function Devices (MFDs), 1 x A4 MFD, and 8 x desktop printers. This streamlined the fleet, reducing the number of devices and simplifying management.
  • Advanced Print Management: Implementation of PaperCut MF software provided secure swipe release and efficient print management, enhancing security and control over print jobs.

Customer Benefits

  • Streamlined Fleet: Simplifying the printer fleet by reducing the number of devices and optimising their placement significantly improved management and reduced downtime.
  • Cost Savings: The college experienced reduced costs through better device utilisation and fewer service interventions.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Detailed quarterly reviews offered insights into print usage, enabling PCC to monitor performance and make informed decisions about future fleet management.
“The quarterly reviews are extremely valuable. We now have access to detailed data and insights. It’s helped us to stay on top of everything and adjust as needed.”
