University–wide managed print service

Over the next six to nine months, the University will be introducing a managed print service to improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and environmental impact of our printing. This could save the University more than £300,000 per year in printing costs.

iSolutions has partnered with Konica-Minolta to deliver this service. Representatives will visit each School and Professional Service to look at printer use in each area and find out your views and needs.

You will receive more details when the service is introduced into your area. All staff will have access to training and support on the new printing systems.

Simon Higman, Registrar and Chief Operating Officer, comments:

“This partnership with Konica-Minolta will give us a good service at a price that produces real savings. This is further proof of the benefits of pooling the spending power of the University and of professional Procurement”

Project Update: Building 35 and Building 35A

Building 35 deployment starts on 23rd November 2009. The Konica Minolta device will be delivered and installed at the agreed locations. Some of the Ricoh devices will be moved and a couple removed from the building to pave way to the new method of printing and recharging. The user guides to setup the new devices have been added to this site.

An experienced user trainer will be on site to train the users on the features of the device. iSolutions staff will floor walk and setup the print queues for the users helping them to achieve secure printing and photocopying. The training dates, time and venue for the building are as follows:
