University of Calgary to Build a Better Student Experience Through $36 Million Deal with Xerox

The University of Calgary today has signed a $36 million, seven-year agreement with Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) to revamp nearly every device, system or process that creates, delivers, stores and shares documents across the university. Initial benefits of the deal include consistent, affordable and reliable campus-wide printing and document management facilities accessed via a single swipe of a student or faculty ID card.

“This partnership is the first of its kind in Canada, and we chose Xerox because of its leadership and ability to serve as one provider for managing both the University of Calgary’s information and technology needs,” said Harold Esche, chief information officer, University of Calgary. “Making us a leader in document and information management will save us approximately $12.6 million over the length of the partnership, deliver revenue to the university’s bottom line, and give staff and students alike a superior academic experience.”

The contract involves virtually all aspects of document and records management, including printing, copying, scanning, faxing, and electronic storage and retrieval. It will help staff, students and faculty to research, teach and learn more effectively through efficient use of technology. For example, students and faculty will have better printing services, more access to those printing services and the flexibility to print from laptop or home computers.
