McGill Consolidates Two In-plants
Because so many of the in-plant's customers had been submitting hard copy orders (60 percent of them, Cristofaro says), the in-plant decided to keep a service counter at the two hospitals so it could continue to provide personalized service to hospital staff. The in-plant purchased a Web-to-print tool called PrintSys from Prisme, a Quebec-based company, as well as a system called SmartSend (from Xerox) to scan and submit documents from those counters. Staff will be given access to PrintSys and trained on its use by the service counter staff. Eventually SmartSend will be enabled on MFDs throughout the hospital complex giving staff complete remote access to the in-plant.
