At Midwest Transit they pride themselves on being innovative with marketing and sales efforts. Part of Midwest Transit's marketing plan includes an active direct mail program targeted at key potential customers. The marketing has been effective in driving new business, but there were also growing supply bills for their HP color printer. Midwest Transit experimented with outsourcing print jobs but was not able to get the price and quick turnaround time they wanted. They needed a way to handle in-house color printing that was able to combine low cost with quality output and reliability. </p> <p>The Solution </p> <p>Midwest Transit decided on a Canon Color imageRUNNER 3200 from Martin Whalen to produce all their color prints. The imageRUNNER with a saddle-stitch finisher allows mail pieces to be printed and folded at a pace that keeps up with the high-speed marketing department. </p>

One of the issues was the large month end statements that took all night to print. It was an inefficient process that the bank decided they needed to reevaluate. </p> <p>The Solution </p> <p>Martin Whalen staff took the time to understand the bank's situation and realized that the overused HP printer they were printing on was costing them both time and money due to the machine's slow speed and the expensive supplies that constantly needed to be replaced. Part of the solution was replacing the printer with a high-speed Canon imageRUNNER 5070 multi-functional device that was able to do the job with less expense. The statement printing that had taken all night and required constant attention to correct jams and monitor paper and supply levels is now able to be done easily in just 3 hours. In addition to the increased speed from the Canon there was also improved functionality with the addition of copying, scanning and faxing with the updated device. </p>

Kirshon & Company, P.C, is a leading CPA firm based in Poughkeepsie, NY. With the upcoming tax season looming, Kirshon needed a robust, full featured and easy-to-use electronic document management solution in place, pronto.

No stranger to paperless – Tammy Acard, Principal at Kirshon & Co., is “passionate” about the subject – the company had tried and rejected multiple electronic document management systems.

All lacked the ability to manage and work with all types of documents and business applications, as well as the ability to work with all types of employees: Kirshon wanted an easy-to-use system that would not require IT expertise in-house.
