Kathy Jackson

Kathy Jackson

It's simple.  It's direct.  And the answer seems obvious.

 

Why pay more to have your staff hover over a copy machine when you could be using their talents elsewhere?

 

That's the question Kathy Jackson poses to customers at CenterPoint Energy in Shreveport, Louisiana, who sometimes make the mistake of running large print jobs on the company's walk-up copiers. "We can print larger jobs in the copy center at a lower cost," explains Jackson, the Division Manager. "We ask departments to only purchase black and white MFPs and send the color work to the copy center. This can create an enormous savings to the customer."
