Case Study: California State University achieves faster print turnaround with Solimar Systems

California State University - Customer Case Study

The California State University's Central Computing Services faced challenges with disconnected printing systems, slow manual job delivery, and underutilized high-speed Xerox production printers. To address these issues, they partnered with Solimar Systems and implemented the Solimar Print/Director system with various XCHANGE modules.

Solimar Systems provided a solution that connected the mainframe and campus network, enabling bidirectional printing and dynamic data stream conversion. This allowed network users to print to the mainframe printers and vice-versa, drastically improving turnaround times from a single daily delivery to near-instantaneous receipt. The university increased printer utilization, avoided costly new equipment purchases, and replaced an expensive older printer with a more affordable model without sacrificing quality.
