Culina

Effective print strategy delivers 34% cost savings alongside enhanced security, visibility and governance.

 

“Apogee has so far produced 34% cost savings on Culina’s current spend, achieved by bringing complete transparency to the way Culina uses documents.”

– Culina representative

The Background

Culina Group was using an unconsolidated fleet of devices across their business units, which had led to high costs and difficulties in managing the fleet. The company recognised there was room for improvement with regards to their print strategy by streamlining procurement and introducing up-to-date hardware and technology which could deliver several benefits.

 

The Solution

After completing a thorough print and document assessment to understand the Group’s print infrastructure and processes, Apogee used their independence to select the most suitable hardware from a diverse portfolio consisting of various brands and manufacturers. A solution was deployed, which involved the supply and installation of 219 devices at various locations including Head Office.

Apogee introduced print management software, designed to monitor, measure and manage network wide document output. The software, split across multiple servers for resiliency, also ensures security on print output and provides full visibility on print and copy activity by user, department, device or cost centre.

 

The Outcome

Apogee successfully transferred Culina to an integrated and reliable infrastructure consisting of 219 new print devices. Standardisation has ensured the fleet is easier and cheaper to manage, for example toners can now be bought in bulk through a single platform as opposed to buying from various suppliers.

Significantly, Apogee has so far produced 34% cost savings on Culina’s current spend, achieved by bringing complete transparency to the way Culina uses documents, and taking time to analyse day-to-day operations and identifying overspending. The solution of streamlining Culina’s fleet with the implementation of new devices and software has minimised spend and wastage.

Additionally, print management software has provided enhanced security through user authentication and print release, as well as increased visibility across all networked devices, helping to strengthen governance and control.

Culina

Eine effektive Druckstrategie sorgt für 34% Kosteneinsparungen bei verbesserter Sicherheit, Transparenz und Governance.

 

"Apogee hat bisher 34% Kosteneinsparungen im Vergleich zu den aktuellen Ausgaben von Culina erzielt, indem es vollständige Transparenz in die Art und Weise, wie Culina Dokumente verwendet, gebracht hat."

- Culina Vertreter

Der Hintergrund

Die Culina Group nutzte eine uneinheitliche Geräteflotte in ihren Geschäftsbereichen, was zu hohen Kosten und Schwierigkeiten bei der Verwaltung der Flotte geführt hatte. Das Unternehmen erkannte, dass seine Druckstrategie verbesserungswürdig war, indem es die Beschaffung rationalisierte und moderne Hardware und Technologie einführte, die mehrere Vorteile bieten konnte.

 

Die Lösung

Nach einer gründlichen Druck- und Dokumentenbewertung, um die Druckinfrastruktur und -prozesse der Gruppe zu verstehen, nutzte Apogee seine Unabhängigkeit, um die am besten geeignete Hardware aus einem vielfältigen Portfolio verschiedener Marken und Hersteller auszuwählen. Es wurde eine Lösung implementiert, die die Lieferung und Installation von 219 Geräten an verschiedenen Standorten, einschließlich der Hauptverwaltung, umfasste.

Apogee hat eine Druckverwaltungssoftware vorgestellt, die den netzwerkweiten Dokumentenoutput überwacht, misst und verwaltet. Die Software, die aus Gründen der Ausfallsicherheit auf mehrere Server verteilt ist, gewährleistet auch die Sicherheit der Druckausgabe und bietet einen vollständigen Überblick über die Druck- und Kopieraktivitäten nach Benutzer, Abteilung, Gerät oder Kostenstelle.

 

Das Ergebnis

Apogee hat Culina erfolgreich auf eine integrierte und zuverlässige Infrastruktur umgestellt, die aus 219 neuen Druckgeräten besteht. Die Standardisierung hat dafür gesorgt, dass die Flotte einfacher und kostengünstiger zu verwalten ist. So kann beispielsweise Toner jetzt in großen Mengen über eine einzige Plattform gekauft werden, anstatt ihn von verschiedenen Lieferanten zu beziehen.

Bezeichnenderweise hat Apogee bisher 34% Kosteneinsparungen im Vergleich zu den aktuellen Ausgaben von Culina erzielt, indem es vollständige Transparenz in die Art und Weise brachte, wie Culina Dokumente verwendet, und sich die Zeit nahm, die täglichen Abläufe zu analysieren und überhöhte Ausgaben zu identifizieren. Die Lösung zur Rationalisierung des Fuhrparks von Culina mit der Implementierung neuer Geräte und Software hat die Ausgaben und die Verschwendung minimiert.

Darüber hinaus hat die Druckverwaltungssoftware die Sicherheit durch Benutzerauthentifizierung und Druckfreigabe verbessert und die Transparenz über alle vernetzten Geräte erhöht, was zu einer besseren Verwaltung und Kontrolle beiträgt.
