Today, the company has cut back-office printing costs
by more than 30 percent compared to its 2005
spending levels. The key: an MPS contract with HP that
standardizes output on HP devices. In place of
standalone printers, copiers and faxes, GES employs
HP multifunction printers (MFPs), providing services for
groups of employees rather than individuals. The MPS
solution also has improved uptime, while automating
management of the printing fleet.

Since its founding in 1939, the company has grown to
include multiple locations in cities throughout North
America and the U.K. And like many companies,
printing services at GES had become decentralized
during this growth. Various contracts with dozens of
vendors had made it cumbersome to manage these
services.

“Previously, general managers in each city negotiated
contracts for devices like copiers and faxes,” explains

and move to one vendor to improve pricing and
efficiency.”

Esfahani contacted leading print vendors to get
proposals on how to reign in the company’s output
costs while improving overall costs. Only HP promised
major savings. GES had already experienced positive
results with HP through use of its LaserJet printers.
Esfahani had first-hand experience with the increased
services to clients provided by some 60 HP Designjet
large format printers used to create exhibition and
event signage and graphics.

“Our initial success with HP occurred when they
replaced our previous large format printers with
Designjet printers a few years ago, and we
immediately noticed improvement in the quality of
print, the speed, and in the decline in maintenance
calls,” he recalls. “So that made us more inclined to
work with HP for our printing needs,” continued
Esfahani.
