There’s a very real bottom-line benefit to consolidation
and better output management, she adds. According
to ALL Associates, a consulting company specializing
in document management, the annual benchmark cost
per associate for output in the telecom industry is
$4,626, of which approximately 10 percent ($463)
are hard costs. At Embarq, the hard cost was just
under $300 per employee in 2007; and in 2008, it
stands at $248—roughly half the industry average.

A culture of efficiency
Embarq, formerly a part of Sprint Nextel Corporation,
was spun off as a separate company when Sprint and
Nextel merged. Today, Embarq provides local and
long-distance home phone service, high-speed Internet,
wireless and satellite TV.

The culture underlying the company’s Strategic Output
Solutions team began under Sprint. With high-level
executive backing, the output team there reduced the
number of output devices from 18,000 (a 4:1 ratio) to
about 6,000.

Hall’s team continued the progress when Embarq was
spun off, bringing the ratio to its current 12:1. Among
the strategies: Continue replacing existing copiers and
printers with MFP devices, and reducing the number of
vendors to just two. Within the past year, the team has
moved to deploying just one type of output device: HP.

“The whole process of working with HP works for us,”
Hall says. “Everything is on schedule. You know what
you’re getting, and when it’s going to arrive. That’s a
lot different from the way copier companies used to do

Embarq has hundreds locations in 18 states. The
company uses a wide range of HP printers and MFPs,
among them the HP LaserJet 9050mfp, 4345mfp,
5035mfp, 3035mfp, M2727nf MFP, Color LaserJet
CM4730mfp, and HP CM8060 Color MFP with
Edgeline Technology.

“It would be great if we only needed three or four
different models to meet everyone’s needs,” says Hall.
“But because of the way we’re scattered around in
different markets with different sized offices, we do a
lot of capacity planning to make sure we put the right
device in each office space.

There are other reasons to right-size when it comes to
output. “Our energy manager estimated that if we
replaced 250 of our older copiers and printers and
consolidated those capabilities with HP MFPs, we
could save well over $60,000 in energy,” Hall notes.
“That factored into our decision to go forward with
replacing equipment with newer HP products.”

One of the locations where employees are happiest
with their output capabilities and the machines use the
least energy, notes Program Manager Nancy Barlett, is
one where there are fewer devices per employee—with
a ratio of 23 employees per machine. The secret
ingredient: the HP CM8060 Color MFP, which uses
innovative HP Edgeline technology to enable print
speeds averaging 60 pages per minute in black (50

“With shorter leases and standardizing on
HP printers and MFPs, we have very high
reliability built into our system. You can
hardly go wrong when you give employees
reliable equipment that meets all their
needs.”
