Benefits of

Managed Print
for Schools

Managing an entire fleet of printers is a major challenge for budget-strapped schools and staff. Demands on IT teams have skyrocketed due to the influx of critical technology for student learning and staff. Having to fix and maintain a large fleet of printers becomes a distraction and often gets put at the end of the list.

With a print assessment from an experienced Managed Print provider, most schools discover they can significantly reduce the number of printers they have on hand (and reduce the hassle and headaches).

Leave the service and management of your print environment to the professionals at GFC and benefit from our imageCARE+ program, offering:

  • Just-in-time toner replacement
  • Cartridge recycling
  • Proactive onsite service
  • Remote device monitoring and security
  • Client portal and help desk support
  • Output and asset management
  • Spreadsheet invoicing
  • Print security
  • And more

"With thousands of students and staff spread out across a 90-acre campus, managing a printer fleet is a real challenge. But GFC has been able to help us find smart, creative solutions that make it easy for our users and our IT staff."

- MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY

"I’ve dealt with Gordon Flesch for over 35 years. From their sales team, machine techs, and Accounts Receivable staff, I’ve received nothing but the best. They are the reason I’ve made the Chemistry Copier Center a Canon copier-only operation. I’m retiring soon and will greatly miss them all and know that it was them who helped make my copy center the great operation that it is now."

- Bruce Goldade, Copy Center Manager
THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON, CHEMISTRY

"GFC has been a great partner to help with our needs on campus. They are quick to reply to us when we have issues or questions, and always work for the best solution."

- John Meyer, IT Director

Mini Case Study

Racine Unified
School District

The print environment for the school district of Racine, Wisconsin had gotten out of control. There was no way to determine how much they spent on printers and supplies or even how many machines they owned. They implemented a Managed Print Services program from Gordon Flesch Company and experienced the following benefits:

  • Annual savings of $70,000
  • A $92,000 energy rebate
  • Reduced the number of printers from more than 2,000 machines across 32 campuses down to fewer than 300 without impacting efficiency or productivity
  • Machines were administered remotely, and costs and budgets were tracked accordingly

  • Remote device monitoring

  • And more

RFP Process for Printers

Technology has changed dramatically in recent years, and printers for schools are no exception. Issuing an RFP for printers based on past vendors or knowledge could be a misstep. By working with a qualified Managed Print provider up front, you can better understand how print technology has evolved and which goals and compliance requirements your organization must meet to develop an accurate RFP and RFQ.

Contact the print and ECM experts at Gordon Flesch Company for a free assessment of your organization’s print environment and to provide recommendations based on best practices and cost-saving strategies. We’re here to help.
