Case Study: University of Minnesota achieves simpler, faster PeopleSoft output management with LRS Output Management VPSX

University of Minnesota cuts print troubleshooting time by nearly 75% with LRS Output Management

The University of Minnesota faced significant complexity and inefficiency in managing its extensive print environment across multiple campuses. Following a migration from mainframe to PeopleSoft applications on UNIX servers, their previous output management system was inadequate. The challenge involved excessive staff time spent diagnosing print problems, installing drivers, and maintaining numerous print servers. To address this, they turned to the VPSX solution from vendor LRS Output Management.

By implementing LRS Output Management's VPSX solution, the university established a single point of control for all open systems printing. This eliminated the need for many print vendor components and a dedicated Windows print server. The results were substantial, including a 75% reduction in time spent diagnosing printing problems and the recovery of over a month of dedicated staff time. LRS's solution also simplified disaster recovery and provided greater control over output delivery.
