Case Studies

Submitted by Webmaster on Wed, 03/11/2009 - 15:29
The Background
A growing school district was struggling with purchasing expensive HP printer supplies and unreliable devices. The printers were a burden on the school's budget because they were being used for greater volumes than they were designed to handle and they carried a high total cost of ownership.
The Solution
By putting Canon ImageRUNNER multi-function devices on the school's network, MWOS made it easy for faculty to print to several key locations around the building. Another aspect of the solution was the use of the mailbox feature on the Canon imageRUNNERS that allows the faculty to send items to an assigned mailbox. This funtion enables faculty to better manage print jobs by storing them on the device until it is convenient to print. continue reading...

The Background
Success in the manufacturing sector hinges on constantly becoming more efficient with the use of valuable resources. A large suburban Chicago food manufacturer recently decided that they wanted to use the same methodology for efficiency that had made them successful in the production process and apply it to their document workflow. The company faced redundancies in handling documents that cost them time and money.
The Solution
Working with Martin Whalen Office Solutions, the company was able to get to the root of the problem. Staff were making copies of essential paperwork, faxes, and orders and hand delivering them throughout their large facility. Martin Whalen was able to provide a customized solution that had all of the faxes delivered electronically while paper documents were able to be scanned and sent via e-mail. continue reading...
Banking: A Simple Solution to save time and money
Submitted by Webmaster on Fri, 03/06/2009 - 15:36
The Background
A popular local bank was experiencing some growing pains as it added branches and customers. One of the issues was the large month end statements that took all night to print. It was an inefficient process that the bank decided they needed to reevaluate.
The Solution
Martin Whalen staff took the time to understand the bank's situation and realized that the overused HP printer they were printing on was costing them both time and money due to the machine's slow speed and the expensive supplies that constantly needed to be replaced. Part of the solution was replacing the printer with a high-speed Canon imageRUNNER 5070 multi-functional device that was able to do the job with less expense. The statement printing that had taken all night and required constant attention to correct jams and monitor paper and supply levels is now able to be done easily in just 3 hours. In addition to the increased speed from the Canon there was also improved functionality with the addition of copying, scanning and faxing with the updated device. continue reading...
