Ingersoll Rand to cut operational costs by 30% with Xerox document management

William Gauld, senior vice president at Ingersoll Rand, explains that the company's nine-year EPS contract effectively brings multiple output devices, print budgets and vendor support systems all under centralised Xerox management. As a result, he says, Ingersoll Rand expects to reduce operational costs by up to 30% and improve productivity with faster, easier ways to manage documents, including invoices, service agreements, product manuals and marketing materials. "While Xerox optimises our print environment to meet our cost savings, environmental sustainability and customer service goals, we can stay focused on our primary vision of inspiring progress for our customers," says Gauld. "This is not a typical client-supplier contract; it's a partnership that combines strengths from both companies to enhance employee productivity and to communicate more effectively with our broad base of customers," comments Diane Richter, global supplier manager, Ingersoll Rand. "Collaborating with Xerox has been easy – and it produced a business model that will keep us competitive, reliable and progressive throughout our relationship," she adds.
