USDA Turns to Xerox for Cost Savings, Modernized Operations in 10-Year, $110 Million Contract

Business Wire
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has awarded Xerox
(NYSE:XRX) a 10-year, $110M contract for managed print services
(MPS) across all USDA agencies. As part of the agreement, Xerox
will install and support up to 16,000 Xerox ConnectKey®-enabled
printers and multifunction devices at more than 3,000 USDA sites
around the globe.
USDA is working with Xerox to reduce costs while creating a
print, copy, fax and scan environment with fewer but more powerful
devices and a smaller environmental footprint. New tools – like
ready-to-use apps built into the interface – enabled by the Xerox
ConnectKey technology will support migration to digital workflows
and provide detailed analytics to reduce print volumes and paper
consumption.
“According to Gartner, companies spend between one and three
percent of their annual revenue on printing, and managed print
services can help reduce the expenditure by nearly 30 percent,”
said Mike Zimmer, president, U.S. Large Enterprise Operations,
Xerox. “With Xerox’s technology and services, the USDA can reduce
spending while modernizing their operations, improving security and
freeing up vital IT resources to support mission-critical
programs.”
Xerox will provide ongoing service and support including help
desks, maintenance, analytics and reporting services. Xerox will
manage all of this with the aid of a secure web portal that has
been customized for the USDA.
