Arthur Terry School Managed Print Win For C24
October 25, 2011Arthur Terry School, Birmingham have announced that they have selected C24 in conjunction with DTP Group to introduce a managed print solution into the school.
Arthur Terry is one of the top 10 comprehensives in the country operating a state of the art IT infrastructure, but had an ageing fleet of copiers and printers and outdated charging and management systems for student print and copy. “It was an inefficient and complex mix of different machines and technologies and the costs involved in supporting and maintaining all these various printers were high,” says Chris Butler, Technical Services Manager Arthur Terry School. “We needed to consolidate and come up with a system that would run to defined standards and meet the needs of everyone in the School”.
The Managed Print Service is expected to save the school around 20% on their print costs with the contract including support and automatic replenishment of consumables. This all inclusive service eliminates much of the administrative burden Arthur Terry School used to carry and reducing the fleet will also result in significant power savings.
Paul Hemming, Managing Director commented that “this is a great win for C24 as it not only solidifies our relationship with Arthur Terry School but also is a great start to our relationship with the DTP Group. We are hoping soon to be releasing further information about new cutting edge solutions between ourselves and The DTP Group”

C24 presented to a number of leading Birmingham business figures yesterday at the Birmingham Science Park Aston. The presentation highlighted the current situation within social media and the direction, plus looked at how businesses could benefit from a social media strategy.
The discussion after was interesting as it highlighted the talent within gaming, creative IT and social media, that is within Birmingham and the West Midlands and how this talent was disappearing to other areas of the UK or worse to other countries. The general consensus was that we really need to develop a cohesive strategy in Birmingham to promote the region and its talent in digital media, whether this be gaming, social media or mobility as it seems that there is a fear that if we don’t we could be just another ‘commuter’ town for people working in London.
The reach and scale of social media, we believe could help us position and at the same time create awareness for Birmingham and the fantastic talent that we undoubtedly have, we really need to start to drive this home.
