Posted: Friday, April 15, 2016Campuswide Inventory of Print, Copy, and Fax Devices; Brief Survey
In conjunction with SUNY and as part of our ongoing commitment to provide enhanced service to students, faculty, and staff, Buffalo State has partnered with Xerox and NewField IT to conduct a comprehensive assessment of our printing, copying, faxing, archival, scanning, and document management needs. As part of this assessment, employees from Newfield IT will be accompanied by Buffalo State personnel to perform a room-by-room inventory of all print, copy, and fax devices currently housed on campus. This assessment will begin Monday, April 18, and be completed during the week of April 25. During this time, we ask for your assistance in accommodating our need to print a service report from each device located in your area. We will make every effort to ensure minimal disruption to instruction or office activity during these brief visits.
The information collected through this assessment will be instrumental in quantifying current institutional spending on print output, determining total cost of ownership, evaluating sustainability efforts (i.e., electricity, paper consumption; CO2 emissions), and understanding essential quality requirements of the community.
To assist us in this effort, we ask that you please complete a brief (5-10 minute) anonymous survey to describe your current print, copy, and fax needs and provide suggestions on how we might be able to improve these services.
Please forward any questions or concerns to David Demers, chief information officer, or to me, Mike LeVine.
We thank you for your assistance and cooperation in completing this critical assessment.
