Modernizing Print Infrastructure at Kresge Foundation

This case study details the modernization of the print infrastructure at the Kresge Foundation, a philanthropic organization focused on education, health, arts, and community development. The foundation aimed to reduce its printing footprint while ensuring secure and efficient operations. Applied Innovation conducted a thorough assessment of Kresge's print environment and replaced six aging copiers with four multifunction printers (MFPs), enhancing functionality and reducing the overall footprint. The transition was managed effectively to minimize disruption and promote quick employee adoption. The Infrastructure Manager noted the efficiency of the process, which included consistent technician support and a knowledgeable Help Desk. The benefits of this modernization included maintained productivity during the transition, reduced device count, improved workflow efficiency, strengthened network security, and minimized downtime. The IT team was able to refocus on strategic priorities due to the successful implementation of the new print solution.
