engineers – were working here with a “pretty
assorted range of equipment”, IS infrastructure
manager Thomas Lieber reveals. There were around
300 devices in use: printers, copiers and fax
machines from all sorts of different manufacturers.
According to Lieber, maintaining them was a real
undertaking. And a huge amount of time was spent
on the basic tasks of purchasing and fitting toner
cartridges and other consumables. “Added to this,
there was no transparency to the equipment
infrastructure,” reports the IT expert. “We didn't know
anything, we just crossed our fingers.”

Then TRW switched to a new generation of print
technology, thanks to an analyst at IT system house
and HP Office Printing Solutions Partners H&G
Hansen & Gieraths EDV Vertriebs-GmbH in Bonn.
“He put our existing equipment under the spotlight
and it became clear that it had no real financial
value and worked unreliably on the whole,”
concedes Lieber. “But instead of financing the new
and improved hardware from cash-flow, the IT
consultant recommended that we switch to HP Smart
Printing Services with Level Pay.” It was all about
leasing instead of buying. And the consumption-
based billing is entirely based on the actual toner we
have used. “A totally fair solution”, raves Lieber, who
is also convinced by the other improvements, which
came as part of the consolidation process.

Quicker progress with half the power
“We virtually halved our number of devices; instead
of 300 we now just have 160 printers, 70 of which
are MFPs, which can copy and scan too.” Although
these models also have fax functionality, it is not
required as TRW has now installed a network-internal
fax solution. “We have completely done away with
the previous dedicated fax and copier systems,”
explains Lieber. Halving the number of units has also
had another noticeable side effect - significantly
reduced electricity costs. We have also achieved
even further potential for saving, for example by
defaulting to duplex printing.

“Anyone wanting to quickly print out an e-mail can
cope with it being printed on both sides,” Lieber
sums up. “And we have set the colour printers to
default to black and white, which reduces toner costs
by an impressive 20 per cent.” Both “restrictions”
can, of course, be bypassed manually at any time,
but amazingly few employees bother to do this.” As
a whole, Lieber reckons that the overall savings
achieved by the consolidation process are in excess
of 30 per cent: “That's a hugely persuasive argument
for an automotive supplier in current times.”

Transparency across the network
But according to Lieber, the cost savings are not the
full story. His department has also enjoyed huge
benefits from a significant reduction in maintenance
work, partly due to the fact that the printers
automatically order their own toner when it runs low
and partly thanks to the transparent management
functions. “We can use a standard web browser to
control, configure and generally keep an eye on all
of the printers.” As luck would have it, the new units
are extremely low-maintenance, not least because of
the exclusive use of original HP laser printer
cartridges. “The overall package from HP reduces
costs and gives us more freedom as a company,”
reports Lieber. “With annual print volumes in the
region of six million pages, we simply must have
systems we can rely on. They need to run without us
having to waste time and energy on maintaining
them. In a technology-driven sector like ours, we have
plenty of other things to worry about.”
