PETS stand for Print Enterprise Technology Solution. The University System led by the Dartmouth campus has made an exclusive award for the purchase and lease of photocopier multifunctional devices to Xerox Corporation. Included in the scope of services with Xerox Corporation is the requirement to perform a physical inventory of all print devices on campus and develop an optimization plan based upon industry standards that will reduce the overall costs of print devices and associated costs enterprise wide.
The vision, within 3 - 4 years is to have standardized Print/Production centers across the campus allowing for the most cost effective use of University funds to facilitate the attainment of the University’s mission. Secondarily, to position and develop leverage allowing the University to continually drive print output costs down as the contract matures. Lastly, at the end of the contract the University will be able to drive equipment costs down to the next level of savings. This last objective and strategy will be possible as all leases, at the end of the contract, will co terminate, allowing the University to drive cost down by being able to leverage volume discounts.
MFD stands for a Multifunctional Device. A MFD is an all-in-one printer, scanner, fax and copy device allowing for centralized production within a large office setting leading to the ability to effectively and efficiently manage output.
