Data Centers Merge and Move Ahead

"We've had to start entertaining offering other services to meet our budget," Thomas admits. Some of the services under consideration include CD-ROM duplication, mailing services and large-format poster production.

The merger has been a success all around, Thomas says.

"People in the data center are now enjoying a lot more space because the printers are no longer there, and now they don't have to deal with printing any more," Thomas says. The university is saving money, and Printing and Copying Services, with its total chargeback system, has a complete responsibility for all printing at the institution.
