GREENING YOUR IMAGING FLEET
GREEN: IT’S THE NEW BLACK
It’s an industry!
Our social culture is one of eco-awareness
Lets face it – its happening
Global warming, overflowing landfills, energy shortages.
Green, organic, natural, raw, recycled, unprocessed – all buzz words
Reducing your “carbon footprint” is a conversation heard amongst all ages
Many 2010 resolutions include aneco-agenda

PLASTIC BOTTLES
Depicts two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes.
LIGHT BULBS
Depicts 320,000 light bulbs, equal to the number of kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the US every MINUTE due to inefficient corporate electricity usage (wiring, computers in sleep mode, old printers, etc).
OFFICE PAPER
Depicts 30,000 reams of office paper or 15 million sheets, equal to the amount of office paper used in the US every five minutes.

THE NEW UNIVERSAL “ONE WITH EARTH” LOGO FOR THE
CORPORATE OFFICE
AN URGENT MANDATE
Energy and waste reduction have become a mandate in corporate America
Now appearing in many corporate mission statements
Has your company answered the “Green” call?
E-waste initiatives to avoid landfills
Corporate “Green Teams” formed who are tasked with developing strategies for long term waste reduction
GREEN VS. GREEN: THE HAPPY MEDIUM
Going green can drastically impact the other green: $$$
Both positively and negatively…but how do we focus on the positive?
Good for the environment
Good for your company
• Good for your revenue stream!
WHAT WE MUST UNDERSTAND
The #1 action item in corporate green plans: STOP PRINTING!
“Printing is viewed as the top cause for cost and consumption.”
LOTS OF FEATHERS, NOT ENOUGH CHICKEN
Most green programs are nothing more than a few attention getting tag lines and an initial conversation
Beyond this, most dealerships struggle to deliver on their promise. Why?
No true tracking mechanism to benchmarkimprovements
No true commitment to making the programwork
Lets get more chicken…
DOCU-TRAC– PROGRAM ELEMENTS
Imaging fleet assessment
Number of devices
Age of devices
Power consumption review
518 Pages in 1 yr = $198.00/.38 pp in electricity!518 Pages in 1 yr = $198.00/.38 pp in electricity!
DOCU-TRAC– FIRST STEPS
Consumables assessment
Current inventory?
Ordering process?
Disposal plan?
Print quality requirements: primarily mono? Marketing materials? Financial reports? Typical page coverage?
DOCU-TRAC – FIRST STEPS
Your Objectives
Reduce energy consumption by “X” kWh on printing devices
Reduce energy costs associated with printing devices
Responsible cartridge alternatives (compatible vs. OEM)
Responsible disposal options (consumables and printers)
DOCU-TRAC– PROPOSED STRATEGY
Retire old, unused printing devices
They’re power hogs.
Adapt responsible future device deployment
Now that we know how and what you print, strategically place devices which optimize their needs.
Re-route print volume to devices that can support it
Example: Larger jobs to the Canon ImageRunner 3380, mid-level work to the HP2820, smaller jobs to Lexmark E210.
GOING GREEN: RESPONSIBLE AND COMPETITIVE
Green initiatives fulfill:
Social responsibility
Growing with your needs
Docu-trac is more than a cost per page program. Its print management.
THANK YOU.
