Leasing, MFDs and IT Budgets Peter Nicholls
12 Feb 2013
Introduction
In Feb 2011 :
• We removed 25 Copiers from old supplier
• We installed 50 MFDs from Datasharp.
In May 2011 :
• We removed c 300 printers
How did we go about it?
The Reality….
The Reality
• Printers were mostly black and white
• Photocopiers were old and frequently out of action
• Hardly any printers or copiers were networked
• Copiers were relatively few and far between – 24
• Very few scanners – 3?
• Copiers and printers were very expensive
• Toner costs were high and extra
• Prices raised 10% p.a.
• High levels of waste
• Minimal duplex printing
• No real idea who was incurring what costs
• IT team’s time wasted maintaining 300 printers
The Perception of the old way…
Perception v Reality of the New Way
• My printer is convenient right by my desk
• I need secure printing
• The pupils need to print in class
• SEN
• Early Years
• I need to print:
• Envelopes and labels
• Invitations
• Quality colour
• If the network goes down we are doomed
• I will end up wasting time queuing
Addressing the Objections
Addressi
ng the
Objectio
ns
Addressing the Objections
Addressing the Objections
• Learning best practice from visits to other schools
• Engaging an industry consultant
• Consulting with a representative User Group
• Reps agreed/ compromised on e.g. MFD locations
• Consulting with Heads of Departments
• Consulting at staff meetings
• Responding to every query and objection … we were listening
• Making reasonable exceptions
• Leaving Art / Boarding out of scope
The Process
• Communication
• Industry consultant and tender process
• Print audit
• Design solution
• Tender
• Weekly project management meetings with IT team and
supplier
• Conference calls and shared area
• Project plans, owners and actions
• Decisions required
• Training
• Transition between installation and removal of printers
The Problem….
• Printers were mostly black and white
• Photocopiers were old and often out of action
• Hardly any printers or copiers were networked
• Copiers were relatively few - 24
• Very few scanners
• Copiers and printers were very expensive
• Toner costs were high and extra
• Prices raised 10% p.a.
• High levels of waste
• Minimal duplex printing
• Colour only printers
• No idea who was incurring what costs
• IT team’s time wasted maintaining 300 printers
• All colour MFDs
• New MFDs, SLA with teeth
• All networked MFDs
• Now have 50 MFDs
• All MFDs scan to email
• All inclusive pence per copy
• Capped at RPI
• Code input at MFD
• Default duplex
• Default black and white
• On-line management reports
• Printers removed
The Solution….
Something must have worked ….
• Art department saw the quality and switched over
• Boarding Houses jumped on the bandwagon
• Our survey said….
• In 2011 72% agree / completely agree the
solution has been to their benefit
• In 2012 72% had risen to 81%
• 3% completely disagree
