UAE-based Alpha Data, a leading IT company and systems integrator, has implemented managed print services (MPS) for Al Barakah Holding, one of the finest housing developers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, to ensure a secured print environment.

Al Barakah previously sought to establish a paperless office to support global sustainability efforts and considered various solutions. Its setup then had multiple brands of printers servicing its group of companies spread across different emirates – resulting in high operational and financial overheads, said a statement from the company.

The company finally opted for Alpha Data’s MPS as the right solution offering the highest levels of security, monitoring and control and providing complete outsourced printing support for improved productivity through optimal use of resources, it said.

MPS was also chosen for its complete portfolio of hardware, software and services inclusive of spare parts, consumables and onsite support, it added.

Alpha Data’s MPS is a comprehensive solution implemented at Al Barakah Holding which features terminal monitoring and a centralised print server that enables the client to significantly save costs, said a statement.

The project started in mid-June of 2016 and was completed within the one-month deadline. Alpha Data is certified as an IS0 27001 public managed printing service provider, it stated.

Naeem Badawi, sales manager at Alpha Data, said: “Our company has helped Al Barakah to seamlessly optimise its print infrastructure, improve workflow, and save costs.”

“We also proved our efficiency by delivering the hardware and activating the software in a very short amount of time. Moreover, the intelligent devices we deployed complement Al Barakah’s existing enterprise resource planning system and future plans,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
