Introduction 

Based in the Midwest, this renowned legal firm successfully upgraded their print environment on a national scale. With over 700 lawyers and 20 offices spread across offices in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, they encountered a printing dilemma that would ultimately transform their operations. 

The Challenge 

The firm’s printing infrastructure was in disarray. The U.S. offices were cluttered with out-of-date printers that were barely functional. Using multiple local vendors to manage these printers only added to the confusion of maintaining them. Lengthy and convoluted contracts bound the firm to obsolete machines and inefficient processes. 

The IT team faced a predicament- how could they enhance device management and revamp the printing system on a national level without disrupting the entire firm’s workflow?

Nationwide Managed Plan: FlexTG proposed a bold strategy: acquire the firm’s entire printer fleet. Their initial 36-month agreement included flexible internal rentals and 60-month terms for new equipment. Standardization was paramount, and we successfully standardized 150 devices across all U.S. offices. 

Centralized Support and Coverage: Our national unified tech support system was utilized, overcoming the geographical boundaries of the firm. IT managers no longer felt isolated, having only a single source for troubleshooting and maintenance.

Tangible Outcomes
