Canon Partners with ASU

Though this bears some resemblance to a facilities management arrangement, Bob Lane, associate director of Auxiliary Business Services, says it differs because Canon is sharing the revenues with ASU.

Lane spearheaded the Canon partnership, conceiving of the idea in the summer of 2005. A few months prior to that, he had transferred ASU’s in-plant to the academic department to ensure its survival. Now students use that offset and digital equipment for educational purposes, and print some university materials in the process.
