Description

Currently, 95% of the University's print needs are sourced externally, creating dependency on suppliers and limiting flexibility. By investing in additional print hardware and software, the University can move towards an in-house print model. This shift has the potential to significantly reduce costs and enhance responsiveness to urgent requests, improving services for staff and students.
