Colleges to cut costs with MPS

IT leaders at colleges and universities are increasingly turning to Xerox Corporation for managed print services to help them cut operational costs.

The University of British Columbia in Canada expects to save some $8 million in the next six years thanks to better managed document and print services.

MPS will held the university's students and staff to use print service more efficiently.

The university also hopes that efficiency improvements will lead to reduced energy consumption and carbon footprint emissions, supporting the university's sustainability strategy.

"Xerox MPS will simplify how we manage documents, making our print operations more productive and cost effective," said Pierre Ouillet, UBC vice president, Finance, Resources and Operations.

"It improves nearly every aspect of the document lifecycle including printing, copying, scanning, faxing, design and delivery of print materials as well as electronic storage and retrieval. This means printing and document management campus-wide will be consistent, affordable and reliable."
