These ENERGY STAR® qualified devices feature top
print speeds ranging up to 40 to 60 pages per minute
and monthly duty cycles up to 250,000 pages per
month.
One of the program’s goals was to significantly reduce
the number of personal printers, and it has succeeded:
Roughly 80 percent of the personal printers have been
eliminated. Some were removed by the technology
team during implementation; others were voluntarily
given up when employees began experiencing the
new capabilities under the MPS solution. All told, the
number of output devices has been cut by more than
half, from over 2,000 in the past to just 950 today.
Consolidating devices results in an automatic reduction
in power consumption, and produces both cost and
environmental benefits.
New workflow, new capabilities
All the devices are networked so that they can be
centrally managed with HP software tools. One of the
advantages of HP Service Portal software is automated
cartridge ordering. “Each machine orders its own
cartridge replacements when it starts to run out,”
explains Roth. “That alone eliminates the need for a
couple of people who would walk around the building
every day and check the machines to see what the
supply situation was.” 
HP Digital Send (DSS) software is used to manage the
MFPs remotely using standardized, enterprise-wide
configurations. For example, MFPs at Viacom facilities
default to printing on both sides of the page, in order
to save paper. The amount of color pages printed is
decreasing using HP Color Access Control to ensure
documents, such as e-mails, are not inadvertently
printed in color. HP Web Jetadmin generates
automated supplies alerts and faults which is helping
Viacom understand how its fleet of MFPs and HP
printers are actually being used and proactively
respond to issues before they impact users. With
historical and real-time reports on usage, the company
will be able to fine-tune deployments—adding another
device where needed, or removing one that’s not
being used to its potential. 
“There’s a world of difference now,” says Roth. “I can
actually get data now on our usage, our costs, and
equipment status. None of that was available to us
before.”
With the initial MPS deployment nearing completion,
Viacom can focus now on making the most of its new
infrastructure. One example: training employees to use
the scan-to-e-mail and scan-to-folder functions on the
MFPs, rather than distributing hard copies of
documents. Roth is also planning to implement digital
faxing. 
“Viacom features very visible environmental messaging
on its cable networks, and it is part of our culture to
‘walk the walk.’ The green initiative has permeated
everything right now. So MPS is a great fit for us: It’s
both a savvy business move that cuts costs and
improves services, and environmentally responsible at
the same time.”
Carl Folta, Executive Vice President, Corporate
Communications, Viacom
“We want people to get away from paper as much as
possible to distribute documents,” he notes. 
Training on use of the MFPs and printers was actually
some of the best-attended training sessions the
company has ever had, Roth adds. “Part of the reason
was that we had a program on environmental
initiatives we called Green Days, and we showcased
the new HP printers and MFPs then. We had hundreds
and hundreds of people go through and try the
devices. I think it created a lot of interest among 
users.”
‘Walking the walk’ with environmental benefits
By changing document workflows and setting printers
to duplex mode, Viacom estimates it will reduce the
number of pages printed by 12.5 percent, projecting
savings of more than 10 million sheets of paper. The
printing fleet also uses 66.2 percent less energy than it
did before the MPS program was implemented—a
reduction of more than 539,000 kWh valued at
$114,409. 
“One of the major results of having HP
Managed Print Services is that it makes
printing and imaging more visible so that 
it can be managed effectively as a technology
service. We’re getting much smarter about
printing. With HP’s help, we’re finding the
right tools to meet employee needs, not just
putting in a larger, faster printer.”
Bob Roth, Vice President for Strategic Services,
Viacom
