Case Study: Columbia Sportswear cuts output costs by 37% with Lexmark managed print services

Columbia Sportswear cuts output costs by 37% with Lexmark

Columbia Sportswear, a global outdoor apparel manufacturer, faced a challenge with its aging and inefficient output environment, which was difficult to manage and did not align with the company's sustainability goals. After issuing an RFP, Columbia selected Lexmark to implement a solution that included Managed Print Services (MPS) and Lexmark Print Management with Print Release.

Lexmark's solution consolidated 176 devices down to 62 multifunction printers and implemented secure print release and proactive consumables management. This resulted in a 37% reduction in overall output costs for Columbia Sportswear, slashed annual print volume by nearly a million pages, and significantly improved operational efficiency and environmental friendliness.
