New print, copying and scanning agreement released
A new agreement has been released offering an all-in-one solution for printer/copier, managed print and records information management needs.

Additionally, the framework will reduce costs and wastage by consolidating devices and storage, and taking advantage of proactive consumables management for less waste of toner and paper. This will also allow users to cut their carbon footprint with new energy efficient devices, helping to support their organisation’s energy saving initiatives.
