Metrostav builds a solid reserve
Challenge
Metrostav, a large European construction company, faced rising printer costs, poor document control, and dilapidated equipment. Given the challenging economic environment, Metrostav decided to move to fully upgraded multifunction printers (MFPs) equipped with MyQ print management solution.
Solution
Metrostav had nearly 1,700 printing devices from various manufacturers, most of them obsolete.
Metrostav optimized its set of devices with new MFPs equipped with the MyQ Embedded Terminal, allowing users securely access via PIN, ID, or username and password.
Each company location was equipped with a central MyQ print monitoring system, and the new MyQ Service Module was added to automate toner orders and repair reports.
Results
Significant cost savings were achieved by reducing their devices to 440, thanks to the analysis based on the MyQ software.
IT dependency was also reduced by implementing the Device Alert Notification function. This alerted IT specialists when a device was low on consumables or if there was a minor issue. It also saved employees time from having to reprint when toner would get too low.
Employee efficiency and document security increased from pull printing on any available device after authentication.
"The economic crisis was affecting our business and we were looking for ways to cut costs. We were impressed by the approach of Janus, authorized KYOCERA Document Solutions partner, who offered us not only favorable leasing conditions but also low-TCO KYOCERA MFPs equipped with MyQ – a powerful combination which has enabled us to reduce our output volume and achieve incredible savings."
