A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
Transforming Print Management for an International Law Firm
An international law firm with an aging printer fleet faced challenges with scalability and reliability and lacked visibility into usage, costs, security and performance. While replacing its outdated hardware, it also wanted to improve uptime, efficiency and security fleet-wide.
THE TURNING POINT
A Targeted Printer Refresh Plan for Performance Enhancement
The firm was already using CDW Managed Print Services. After a quarterly business review focused on efficiency and uptime, CDW and the law firm agreed on a targeted printer refresh plan to revamp the organization’s print management. The agreement also included:
- Replacement of 310 older HP printers
- Collaboration with HP to secure competitive pricing
- Proactive monitoring, automated supplies and performance reporting
- Updated print security parameters

THE RESULTS
Enhanced Printer Uptime With Greater Cost Efficiency
The coordinated refresh of aging HP devices enhanced reliability and user experience across the organization, and the renewed Managed Print Services agreement ensured continued stability, predictable costs, updated security and improved fleet performance.
Here’s Why It Worked:
- The ongoing partnership created an environment of mutual trust for continuous improvement
- The elevated level of CDW print support streamlined supplies and maintenance
- CDW expertise helped modernize print security to meet evolving threats
What’s Next?
The law firm is exploring ways to automate print management, including supplies tracking and ordering, troubleshooting and repair. Going forward, the CDW Managed Print Services team will advise on retaining, repositioning, repurposing or replacing printers with periodic business reviews, total cost of ownership analysis and green strategies.
