Overview
Helsby High School has 155 teachers, administrators and other employees, all striving to provide the highest quality education to 1,350 pupils, so efficient and reliable technology is a must. The school was determined to take back control of an unreliable legacy system of more than 100 printers of different makes and ages, which meant it had to buy many different types of print cartridges, generating inefficiencies, elevated costs and storage issues.
Balanced printer network optimises efficiency without compromising quality
To gather a holistic view of the school’s requirements and deliver a robust solution, Brother carried out a complete assessment of the Helsby High School print network. We then cut the school’s print fleet from over 100 to just 52 high-speed mono and colour printers. We also installed the b-guard print management system, which provides a real-time audit trail of all print activity, giving IT administrators complete visibility over printing and costs.
IT staff gained greater control and transparency
The transparent, reliable new system delivered substantial cost savings whilst also improving performance and freeing up storage space, as the printers automatically order new cartridges themselves as they are needed.
Seamless installation, simple to use and support always on hand
The school was impressed by the quick and smooth integration of the new system with its existing computer network, and both staff and students report it is simple to use and produces high-quality printouts.
Brother’s Managed Print Service has helped Helsby High School take back control of its print system and costs, relieving pressure on staff and freeing up time to provide support where it’s needed the most.
