As the date approached for Viacom’s corporate copier
contract to expire, the company decided it was time to
look at all the available options. “We began talking
with HP about how we could do things more
holistically,” recalls Chief Information Officer Joe
Simon. “Could we make the printing and copying
environment more streamlined? Reduce our costs? And
perhaps even come up with a ‘greener’ way of doing
things?”
The answer, in every case, was “Yes.” Viacom’s
approach to achieve each of those goals was to
centralize management through a Managed Print 
“HP clearly offered a better solution in comparison with our existing
solutions, alternatives from other vendors, and in terms of the previous
relationships that existed in IT. It made a lot of sense for us to go with HP
Managed Print Services.”
