Maker of Hummer Vehicles Revs Up Document Production With Help From Xerox

To help manage document needs at its five U.S. locations, AM General – designer and manufacturer of Hummer® and Humvee® special purpose and military vehicles – has awarded Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) a five-year, multimillion-dollar contract.
The deal includes nearly 100 networked digital multifunction systems that have replaced an aging fleet of copiers, printers, scanners and fax machines from Canon, HP and others. AM General expects to save 20 percent to 25 percent on its document management costs.

For its three print centers, AM General has installed two Xerox color MFPs and a monochrome production printing system, which will be used for high-volume print jobs including owner manuals and sales training manuals for Hummers and Humvees. Three full-time Xerox business services specialists will be on-site to run the print centers and manage the entire fleet.

Citing ease of installation and integration as top factors in its decision to award Xerox the contract, AM General will network 95 percent of its new equipment and use Xerox’s CentreWareâ„¢ Web device management software to install, configure and remotely manage the fleet. The Xerox on-site staff will also use CentreWare Web to create usage reports, order supplies and troubleshoot, so AM General’s IT staff can focus on other critical aspects of their infrastructure.
