Wheaton College is a top ranked, private liberal arts college in Massachusetts. With 2,000 students and staff using their own Macbooks, laptops and tablet devices, their IT department were inundated with requests to activate personal devices to print to network printers. Unfortunately with their existing printing platform, each device had to be set-up, and depending on the operating system required a different installation process.
FollowMe by Ringdale was selected for its easy to implement mobile printing technology and installed across a fleet of Xerox MFPs.
Students and faculty staff were thrilled to have the ability to quickly print the documents they need anywhere on campus from their personal computers and tablets without set up. All print jobs are now held on a secure server, to be printed by the owner, only after they authenticate at the MFP with their college ID badge. For print jobs printed via Google Drive, mobile or tablet devices, default settings for monochrome and duplex printing were applied to minimize print costs. Within five months Wheaton saw a 60% reduction to overall print volumes.
“FollowMe gives us full control of print costs, while enabling students and teachers to use the latest mobile technologies to print quickly anywhere across campus”
Brian Gibson, Senior Systems Administrator, Wheaton College
