Choosing the Right MFDs
Weston: Not setting the minimum monthly copy allowance higher to get a lower cost per copy for color. The volume is double the number I estimated per month for the fleet.
Wymore: Not going on location to actually use the type of machines that were being suggested on the RFP. I should have taken a field trip and included some key end-users so we could try types of projects that are typical. The ease of use was a big issue and the new equipment was more difficult to log into than the old one, and there were some very unhappy end users for awhile. I should have done more homework. Allow lots of time for the whole process—at least a year, preferably longer—and don't procrastinate. Don't try to install at the beginning of a semester. IPG
