St. Ann's Community Enhances Operations with Toshiba Technology
In recent developments, St. Ann's Community, a prominent senior care organization, has established a partnership with Toshiba America Business Solutions to serve as their Managed Print Technology Provider. This collaboration reflects an ongoing commitment to improving operational efficiency across their various locations.
Achieving Financial and Sustainability Goals
This multiyear agreement facilitates St. Ann's Community to efficiently meet its financial objectives while enhancing security and sustainability at its three Western New York locations. Chief Information & Technology Officer, Aaron Fields, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "Toshiba is improving our business on many fronts. By boosting document management efficiencies and securing our IT infrastructure, we can focus more on delivering exceptional care to our residents."
Driving Performance with Advanced Technology
Toshiba's cutting-edge technology, including their award-winning e-STUDIO multifunction printers, is essential to St. Ann's daily operations. From processing admissions to managing medical records and creating engaging calendars, these devices play a crucial role in fulfilling the community's printing needs. Importantly, the security measures integrated into these systems ensure that documents are only accessed by authorized personnel, which enhances overall safety for both residents and staff.
Supporting Sustainability Initiatives
One notable aspect of the Managed Print as a Service program is its contribution to St. Ann's sustainability efforts. For every 8,333 sheets printed, St. Ann's can choose to replant a tree according to U.N. Sustainable Goal recommendations, marking a responsible approach to printing practices. Presently, St. Ann's Community has successfully contributed to the reforestation of 509 trees.
Financial Impact of Adopting Toshiba's Solutions
The adoption of Toshiba's technology has proven financially beneficial for St. Ann's Community. They have reported impressive savings of over one million dollars since aligning with Toshiba in 2022, which represents nearly half of their previous expenses on managed print technology.
A Symbiotic Relationship
Steven Sauer, Chief Revenue Officer at Toshiba America Business Solutions, commented, "St. Ann's Community provides an invaluable service to Western New York, and Toshiba must match that commitment with similarly high-quality service. By fulfilling their needs, we also fulfill our goals." This partnership highlights the synergy between the two organizations.
