Education spending is a major budget item, and with rising costs across schools, colleges, and universities, institutions are under increasing pressure to do more with less. Printing is essential in the learning process, but managing its costs and minimizing waste is a growing challenge.
Why Print Management matters in education
Intuitive for PaperCut is a pre-integrated BI solution designed specifically for PaperCut MF. It is delivered with a complete set of standard configurations in hours not weeks. Monthly reports for different budget holders are automated and personalised with no effort. The visual dashboards identify where you can improve the efficiency of your print infrastructure in four key areas:
- Cost: identify how you can reduce the cost of printing per student / staff member throughout school or university, particularly with expensive colour printing.
- Waste: show how you can help to reduce print waste and ultimately contribute towards reducing the environmental impact of printing.
- User Behaviour: Gain insight into what students and staff are printing and at what volume so that you can identify areas for cost savings and encourage the behaviour you require.
- Student Success: Understand student printing behaviour better and link this to academic success. Establish if students who print more get better grades, due to the fact that they are printing information that is relevant to their chosen subject area.
- Environmental Impact: Reducing print waste helps meet sustainability goals and lower your carbon footprint.
