Print costs out of the shadows
A print and MFD review for the Diocese of Bristol Academy Trust found £16,000+ a year of avoidable charges and cut devices by 22%.
Print costs out of the shadows
The challenge
Rising print costs, under-used devices and auto-renewing leases full of hidden charges, with no view of cost per copy and no trust-wide print policy.
What we did
- Audited every device, lease, service level and usage pattern
- Right-sized the fleet using demand mapping
- Specified secure, energy-efficient cloud printing
- Tendered through a framework on a zero-capital lease and service model
