"Overall, the solution has initially given the academy savings of £150,000 over a five-year contract period. Combined with the reduction of wasted print jobs, this number will continue to rise".
West Derby School based in Liverpool is a Single Academy Trust boy’s comprehensive which also welcomes girls into their Sixth Form, consisting of over 100 members of staff and 1,000 student’s aged between 11 and 18.
The school prides itself on its strong values and ethos with their core aim to continuously pursue excellence in all aspects of the school. To achieve this academic success, it is important for the organisation to have a suitable and efficient infrastructure.
The West Derby School had an existing Managed Print Solution which consisted of over 90 desktop printers along with various multi-functional devices. This led to a lack of understanding with students and staff as they were not seamlessly moving between the devices.
Due to lack of training and assistance received, the school had little control over volumes and were not utilising their follow-me print solution. Therefore, the central focal point was to provide a solution whereby the school could fully control and get the most out of the equipment provided.
