  1. Multi-Function Device (MFD): A Transition Model for Campus NCICU Purchasing Administrators' Meeting March 13, 2019

  2. Agenda Introduction and Background • MFD Technology Trends • Campus Managed Print Services • Financial and Chargeback Models • Campus Assessments and Implementation • Future State •

  3. MFD Technology Trends Multi-Function Devices have been around since 1994. At that time, photocopy and fax were used greatly in the workplace. Today, Print and Scan are more prevalent and there is great demand for all MFD’s to be a part of the campus information system network. 1994 – Xerox DC220 2017 – Xerox C8035

  4. MFD Technology Trends Breakdown of MFD Usage for device located in Procurement Services at Wake Forest University MFD Impressions Fax 0% Copy 3% Scan 33% Fax Copy Scan Print Print 64% 97% of MFD Impressions are Print and Scan

  5. MFD Technology Trends Key features of new Technology: • Workflow Scanning replaces Scan to E-mail – Ability to seamlessly scan documents to a destination by eliminating un-necessary steps. Examples: Network Scanning, Scan to Apps (GoogleDocs, Dropbox), Scan to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) such as Workday or Peoplesoft). • Printing:  Color printing costs continue to trend lower.  MFD’s should default to B/W and double sided.  Secure print (enabler to eliminating desktop printers)  Print around – Print jobs should be able to print around jobs held for resources. • Fax is still necessary in the workplace. MFD’s should have capability to “Print to Fax” and “Fax to E-mail”. Fax Server technology eliminates phone lines and provides security of faxed documents. • Copy – No significant changes in 25 years

  6. MFD Technology Trends New generation of MFD’s • Intuitive User Experience – Touchscreen, IPAD like experience. • Benchmark Security – Information Systems (I/S) should own the responsibility for MFD configuration and Security. Use “Cloning” to ensure all MFD’s have standard configuration and security settings. • MFD Apps:  Integrate with Key Business Systems – Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). 5 th Function – Document Translation, Voice  Recognition. • Integration with Output Management Solutions (Pharos, Equitrac/Nuance, PaperCut) as well as basic standard accounting features.

  7. S MFD Configurations A4 Models only print letter and legal (not tabloid), typically do not have automatic stapling capability and are typically about 1/3 the price of A3 models.

  9. MFD Purchasing and Contracting Tips Choose appropriate SLA’s (Service Level Agreement):  24 X 7 technical support is usually not needed. Consider stipulating that vendor provides spare device(s) to minimize or eliminate 24 x 7 support.  4 hour response and 8 hour resolve should be acceptable targets.  In many cases, service issues can be resolved by phone as more incidents are software vs. hardware related.  Standardized equipment allows vendor to carry frequently used replacement parts, resulting in minimal machine downtime.

  10. MFD Purchasing and Contracting Tips • A4 Models only print letter and legal (not tabloid), typically do not have automatic stapling capability and are typically about 1/3 the price of A3 models. • A 5 year contract term is the optimal business model between financial goals and technology obsolescence (can go longer).  Digital Technology has longer life than Analog Technology used 10+ years ago.  Contractual language should contain a Total Satisfaction Guarantee (replacement guarantee) and should be a part of any negotiation between parties. • Financial Models:  Lease – Fair Market Value vs. $0 purchase option.  Rental – How much flexibility is needed? Consider 90% Lease/10% Rental.  Purchase – Dependent on your institution as well as term of obsolescence.  Cost per Copy (CPC) – Also referred to as a Utility Model. These type contracts typically require the institution to guarantee an annual volume minimum. Ensure replacement/additional devices are on your standardized list of models.  Cost per Employee (Knowledge Worker)

  11. Internal Chargeback Cost Per Copy (CPC) Base Plus Click* Hybrid – Cost Per Copy with Volume Minimum Definition Blends the cost of Base Charge for Hybrid of previous two equipment and usage into Equipment and options – the volume a Flat Cost per Copy (B/W Accessories and Cost per minimum ensures that the and Color) Copy for Usage Base is covered Pluses Rewards departments that Possibly the least resistance have high equipment option utilization Encourages Print migration from expensive desktop devices as all additional prints are charged at a lower rate Departments can “choose” any device as they are responsible for the base charge Minuses Penalizes departments Penalizes departments that that have high equipment have high equipment utilization. Typically, when utilization. Typically, when volume increases the CPC volume increases the CPC should decrease should decrease * The majority of Universities surveyed by Xerox use a “base plus click” chargeback model. 11

  12. DepartmentaDDepartmental Assessments • The overall purpose of the assessment was to allow each department opportunity to receive updated information related to device(s) available under the new contract. Visually see and touch the new device(s). Then based on discussions they were able to assess their need(s) and ultimately choose a new device(s) moving forward under the new contract. • Discussions focused on: existing device model(s) vs. right size device model(s), existing monthly device(s) cost vs. new monthly device(s) cost, floor model(s) vs. tabletop model(s), finisher type(s), fax card, and 3 Hole Punch. • Additional information focused on: departmental point of contact(s), location(s), volume per device (black & white vs. color), and consolidation consideration(s). • The final point during the assessment focused on reaching departmental approval to proceed with device ordering and installation. 12
