Through a Michigan technology service provider, Center for Business Innovation, Kyocera Mita is helping Dearborn Public Schools save nearly 14.6% on their technology costs. 

"The print.Reliance solution will help DPS control and reduce their print costs, streamline their consumables, increase the productivity of the administrative staff and facilitate teachers in the classrooms. The solution includes cost-effective devices through a Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) setup. CBI assumes ownership of all the devices as well as the responsibility and management for them, in turn reducing the technology expenses for DPS. CBI is also able to remotely manage the print devices and consumables throughout the entire school district."

You may be thinking what is the catch here.  Nothing is just given away.  This is where Kyocera Mita has helped its technology service providers show the cost benefit of streamlining the print side of things.  One manufacturer of printer, one manufacturer of toner, one service provider all equal great savings over the save up front and pray it doesn't break in the end philosophy.
“We placed DPS on a pre-set cost-per-print contract. Between our print.Reliance cost structure and our HaaS setup, we eliminate the need for DPS to have capital expenditures for these devices,” says Jim Rainsberger, vice president of CBI.

Our ESI Phone System tip:
Outside dial-tone preference

• If you make mostly outside calls, you can set your station to give you outside dial tone whenever you lift your handset. This will eliminate the need to dial 9each time. When this is enabled, you’ll find that you will also want to assign station keys for those internal people that you often call. To call another station without an assigned station key, just press TRANSFER (to get internal dial tone) and then dial the extension number.
