YES bank, one of the leading private banks in India has successfully outsourced its entire printing requirements to Canon which has helped them streamline and enhance its printing infrastructure across 430 of its offices. YES bank has been a Canon customer since last five years and over 500 of Canon equipment’s are installed across all the locations. The engagement with YES bank involves Canon to manage all the printing services, including consumables, on a per-click model basis.
YES bank was facing a challenge in consolidating its printing infrastructure especially in tier II and III markets. After analyzing their requirements and keeping in mind that the bank was in its growing and expansion stage, Canon suggested Managed Document Services (MDS), a flexible and cost effective model. YES bank’s goal of attaining standardization across all locations was achieved with the support of Canon providing them accessibility to monitor and track company’s print environment and usage on Real-time basis.
Canon’s Managed Document Services model also relieved the IT team of YES bank to look at larger business requirements, be more productive and leave the printing needs to Canon. With duplex mode enabled on all the Canon MFDs, YES bank was able to control printing, reduce cost and consolidate its printing infrastructure.
Alok Bharadwaj, Executive Vice President, Canon India said, “We are privileged to be associated with YES bank’s growth journey in India. Our five year association with them has helped us understand their business and offer them an end-to-end printing infrastructure as per their requirement. By adopting Canon MDS, YES bank has seen a reduction of 35 to 40% in overall printing and are able to achieve standardization across locations.
Venkat Krishnan, CTO, YES BANK said, “We have seen a 35 to 40% reduction in routine business and management costs over the previous model. This engagement with Canon has brought in more control. We can centrally monitor the usage of printing, scanning, and photocopying at our branches. It has been a beautiful engagement for us and we hope to implement this across the YES bank group and set an example in the banking service provider industry.”
