About the Solution

Objective:

Allied Irish Bank (AIB) wanted a Managed Print Services (MPS) solution at its head office that would improve service quality, deliver cost savings and lower operational risk.

Approach:

• AIB examined its print cost profile and visited several UK and Irish financial reference sites to explore best practice scenarios.
• Implemented the HP MPS solution.
• Introduced HP Web Jetadmin, remote monitoring and SafeCom software.

IT improvements:

• A 75 per cent consolidation of the hardware fleet leading to a more efficient and manageable print, copy and fax environment.
• Increased security and confidential print environment.
• Technology that reduces paper wastage, print volumes and power consumption.

Business benefits:

• A highly efficient print, copy and fax environment increases productivity and aids business growth by accelerating customer service.
• Optimised, single-vendor infrastructure that is easily managed and more productive due to improved workflows.
• Improved service quality and projected cost savings of 20 to 30 per cent.
• AIB can use key performance indicators to drive continuous improvement and control Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
• A predicted 50 per cent reduction in AIB’s carbon footprint of the printing facilities at its head office at Bankcentre which reinforces the bank’s environmental policy.
• AIB can make further savings by expanding the MPS solution throughout its branch network.
