Service summary

What is it?

Managed Print Services definition is simple: gaining visibility and control of your printing, which helps you save money and boost productivity. MPS also helps you improve

environmental sustainability and security. Although the physical devices reside on your location the software and tools are via the Cloud.

By "printing," we mean the total cost of managing and optimizing your printers, their output, and the people and processes that support these devices. This includes: ▶ Pages produced by office workers, mobile workers and production print operations ▶ Office desktop printers, multifunction printers, copiers, scanners, fax machines and

high-volume printers

▶ Materials sent out for quick printing, offset printing, mailing and distribution ▶ IT help desk support, technical service, maintenance, and add, move and change

requests

▶ Paper, ink, toner and other supplies and consumables.

Add up the costs of "printing" and it accounts for a large chunk — as much as 15% of a business’s annual spending. Through Cloud based Managed Print Services, you can outsource print management and cut costs by as much as 30%.

We do more than just oversee your printers. We also:

▶ Conduct a thorough, up-front assessment to analyse your current printing infrastructure.

▶ Monitor, manage and optimize your total print output environment, end to end, regardless of printer brand.

▶ Provide a roadmap to reduce the number and types of printing devices and supplies while meeting the needs of your business.

▶ Proactively identify and solve potential printing problems and replenish supplies before employees are affected.

▶ Reduce your environmental footprint through printing less paper, consuming less energy, generating fewer greenhouse gases and keeping waste out of landfills. ▶ Give telecommuters and mobile workers easy and secure printing access. ▶ Continuously monitor your printing environment and use ongoing process

improvements to save you time and money.

▶ Provide network management and information technology (IT) integration, from platform support to cloud-based solutions.

▶ Train your employees for a smooth transition through change management so they are more satisfied and productive.

▶ We a proven track record in deploying Cloud based Managed Print Services anywhere in the world through a global network of highly skilled experts.

▶ Turn slow, paper-based processes (like routing and approvals) into automated, digital ones.

5. On-boarding and off-boarding

Through our extensive experience of transitioning clients, we recognise that any change can cause organisational disruption if not done correctly. We use a best fit approach for our clients, focussing on process, technology, staffing or any other specific requirement. We utilises a combined set of policies, processes and procedures designed to reduce risk and increase predictability.

We know from experience that a well-executed plan will enhance the end user adoption, reduce the non-value added time with employees resisting change and consequently expediting the realisation of the business case.

Service Transition Management focuses on the following two key elements to ensure Xerox are able to transition our solution whilst maintaining business continuity:

1. Provide Proven and experienced resources through the provision of dedicated Project Management Professionals and Lean Six Sigma Certified Professionals assigned to support the Service Transition project.

2. Utilise Industry recognised methodology based on the Project Management Institute (PMI) model as well as our Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Process (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control).

Transition and Transformation Management Process (TTMP)

Utilising our Service Transition experience, we has developed a comprehensive transition and transformation methodology, Transition and Transformation Management Process (TTMP), with defined Tollgates, such as Project Plan

Approval and Operational Readiness Approval that follows Operational Readiness Criteria.

The Transition and Transformation Programme will provide for the transition of services from incumbent suppliers to us (if required). When the transition phase has completed successfully the transformation phase will manage the

implementation of new technology, workflow processes and tools to deliver robust and innovative services. We will work closely with our clients and their incumbent suppliers to develop and agree a detailed Transition Plan.

(14)

The Transition and Transformation Management Process (TTMP) is based on best practices and is linked to PMI.

Transition and Transformation activities result in the following key milestones: ► Initiating - Bid to Transition Handover and Client Kick-Off Event

► Planning - Project Plan Completion and Project Plan Approval

► Executing - Operational Readiness, Commencement of Service Date, Project Completion

► Closing - Process Documentation Complete, Post-Implementation Review, Transition to Service Delivery Handover review

Resource

As a minimum will appoint a Transition Manager to work with our clients to provide continuous management of the process throughout the transition and transformation phases of the program. In addition a Service Delivery Manager will be appointed at an early stage to focus on the immediate delivery issues and service related transition activities.

We will also extend the team to bring in other skilled services such as business consultants, Subject Matter Experts, communication services, technical analysts, legal and commercial, quality managers, reporting specialists, supply chain specialists and on-site services as and when appropriate.

Some examples of client resources and their responsibilities typically required for the execution of a Cloud based Managed Print Services program are listed below:

Role Responsibility

Executive Sponsor Highest point of contact and escalation for customer. Engaged for life of contract. Contract development. Approval authority.

Project Sponsor Business sponsor for project.

Rolls-8

Role Responsibility

Representative Royce. May represent multiple locations where business unit operates. Will assist in financial data collection.

Site Contact/Escort Central point-of-contact for location or site, able to refer to appropriate individuals for details. Our “emergency

contact” in case anyone questions our presence at location. Approver (Designs) Provides valuable information regarding print

feature/functionality requirements (i.e., do they need fax, scan, copy capabilities), redundancy, mission critical devices/applications or functions for specific areas or departments.

Facilities Provides building contacts, access, floor maps. Change Management

We utilises a proven change management methodology, deployed by a team of experienced Change Management Consultants. Project Plans are based on Lean Six Sigma principles which are pervasive across all areas of Xerox globally. The associated tools, measures and success criteria are also based on a global standard and in line with Lean Six Sigma principles.

Communication Programme

Communication is a vital part of any project involving change and is a key

element in the success of a Cloud based MPS service. As such the communication plan is under constant review and improvement and draws heavily on more than a decade of experience delivering Cloud based Managed Print Service contracts. Communication would start very early in any Cloud based MPS project and will aim to keep all levels of users informed of the reasons for the project, the benefits of the new service, the impact on their particular environment and the time lines they can expect.

This early setting of expectations is an important part of building confidence within the workforce and enabling smooth transition and user acceptance. We utilise tried and tested communication channels. Where broad communication of generic messages is required, we will utilise ‘point of use’ posters and labelling, desk drops, e-mail broadcasts and the use of in-house journals and newsletters. The underlying message of the communications is about minimising the effect of change. The communications must be mutually agreed, with clear content and branding.

The key communications for Service Transition and Transformation: ► Introduce the contract and the partner.

► Inform of progress and service cut over. ► Inform of changes to user on service cut over. ► Inform of assessment activities.

► Inform of optimisation, why and when.

► Detailed transformation communications before, during and after the users immediate work area is transformed.

7. Service management

We utilises a comprehensive Service Delivery Model as a framework approach which is aligned to ITL to ensure quality delivery across all of its contracts, with the specific aim of reducing the chance of error by increasing consistency through process conformity. This model is underpinned by a set of common processes and procedures, all of which are robustly governed to ensure service delivery is

maintained, and areas of failure or improvement are quickly highlighted. The following diagram represents this methodology:

Service Desk

Supporting all our Cloud based Managed Print Services is support infrastructure which will manage all services and devices in scope irrespective of manufacturer and is dedicated to our Cloud based MPS Clients. The Service Desk is staffed by highly trained, experienced individuals who have significant product, technical and troubleshooting skills. In instances where the Service Desk are unable to provide the level of technical support required, this will be passed to our field based engineers and analysts.

Calls to the Service Desk are typically handled in one of two ways:

► Proactive - The majority of calls are handled proactively through Xerox Device Manager (XDM). This software monitors and manages Printer groups by polling Printers for any signs of problems. When an issue is found, XDM provides automatic email notification, enabling speedy resolution. Problems can be detected, engineers dispatched and issues resolved even before the end users know any problem existed. XDM will automatically create a helpdesk incident. This automates the process, reduces errors and ensures all issues are tracked and reported.

(18)

► Reactive – We will receive a fault call via the IT Service Desk and Xerox will manage the dedicated queue for Print Service related calls within the Xerox Software Toolset software system. Once a call has been received by the Xerox Service Desk a root causal analysis is carried out. If appropriate, and in the majority of cases, we can perform a Remote Call Assist (RCA) with the end user or nominated Authority representative, in order to solve the problem as quickly as possible.

If required an engineer call out is placed and progress reports provided to the end user by mail or phone. The Service Desk is kept up to date through regular

incident updates in the queue for Cloud based MPS related calls. Incident Management

We define an ‘Incident’ as ‘any event that is not part of the standard operation of a service and that causes, or may cause, an interruption to, or a reduction in, the quality of that service’.

The Cloud based Managed Print Service will provide an end to end Print Incident management Service including Second and Third Line Support. The key facilities provided by our Incident management Service include

:

► Recording Incidents and Problems, and management of all Incidents and Problems through to successful completion.

► Referring Problems to the Problem management Service where appropriate. ► Manual and automatic escalations throughout the Incident and Problem

lifecycles to the point of resolution and closure. ► Reduced impact of incidents on the service.

► Incidents dealt with quickly, before they become acknowledged by the customer.

► Incidents diagnosed quickly using previous knowledge (i.e. utilising Best Practice).

► All Logged incidents addressed and resolved. Problem Management

We define a ‘Problem’ as the, ‘underlying cause of one or more Incidents’. Problem Management minimises both the number and severity of incidents and problems in a service. Our Service Delivery will aim to find permanent solutions to

underlying problems that will reduce the impact of incidents and other process failures and subsequently prevent their recurrence.

Our Problem Management approach is designed to improve the delivery of our Service by ensuring the resolution of Problems and identifying trends that potentially have impact on future performance. This may include:

► Identification, investigation and close loop management of all Problems. ► Initiating lessons learned reviews as appropriate.

► Co-coordinating and producing Incident and Problem recommendation reports for resolution.

► Detailed Analysis of Incidents and Problems, investigating trends through to resolution.

► Regular reporting of progress on Problems. ► Agreeing a plan of action.

(19)

12

► A standard way to approach every problem. ► A reduction in the number of incidents. ► Permanent solutions to a problem.

► Learning from experience – data to identify trends and recording and sharing good practices.

► Improved first-time fix rate of incidents using the knowledge database which is available to the service desk and technicians.

Operational Management

The key Cloud based MPS Operational Management objectives are to:

► Coordinate and carry out the activities and processes required to deliver and manage Services at the levels agreed.

► Maintain stability in service operations, allowing for changes in design, scale, scope, and service level.

► Reduce the impact and likelihood of repeat incidents using a closed-loop processes for:  Service Requests.  Incident Management.  Problem Management.  Event Management.  Escalation Management.

Continual Service Improvement and Innovation

The Cloud based Managed Print Service will provide all clients with a platform for future innovation and additional cost savings, which includes additional or optional ‘value add’ Services for all aspects print including but not limited to:

► Mobile Printing

► Pull Printing (Print Management Software) ► Home Working solutions

► Centralised Print Services (CPS) ► Document Analytics

We adopt a Lean Six Sigma approach to ensure that the pre-agreed service levels are maintained at all times. These services levels are documented, detailing all processes and procedures to be employed. This approach ensures consistency of service quality and facilitates continual improvement of the service against set standards.

(22)

Our Cloud Based MPS is constantly and proactively monitored and measured against the SLA and Key performance Indicators (KPI) to anticipate issues and maximise performance. The comprehensive Cloud based MPS Tool Suite facilitates the production of information packs to be presented at the review meetings. Incremental improvements can be realised based on our experience with similar organisations, coupled with specific client Management Information (MI) derived from the Cloud based MPS.

From “Day 1” throughout the lifetime of the MPS our aim is to continuously improve the Service, maximising device utilisation and rationalisation and enhancing the end user experience.

(23)

10. Financial recompense

To minimise the cost to users, Atos does not provide service credits for use of the service. All Atos services are provided on a reasonable endeavours basis. Please refer to the Atos Supplier Terms.

In accordance with the guidance within the CCS G-Cloud Framework Terms and Conditions, the Customer may terminate the Call-Off Agreement at any time, without cause, by giving at least thirty (30) Working Days prior notice in writing. The Call-Off Agreement terms and conditions and the Atos Supplier Terms will define the circumstances where a refund of any pre-paid service charges may be available.

(24)

11. Training

As part of the Managed Service rollout during the Service Creation phase we will work with our clients to produce a bespoke training plan to address the needs of both the service users and support staff that will be involved in maintaining and delivering the service.

We have developed a multi-level approach to training, recognising that each organisation is unique and therefore may have their own specific requirements. This approach to training does not only focus on the initial training but also takes account of future services and new technology. All online training information will be available through Xerox Services Portal (XSP) of which the look and feel can be adjusted to meet our client’s requirements and it can be fully integrated into existing portals.

Training can be delivered via the following methods: Face-to-Face Training

Face to face training provides the end users with access to a qualified on site trainer and relevant training collaterals and is generally delivered during normal working hours. Face to face training can take a number of different formats as follows:

Bespoke – tailored hands on training package encompassing equipment and job applications. All training collaterals are supplied. This would normally apply to specific <client name> users with clearly defined requirements.

Group – this is generally for groups of up to 12 users and covers a generic pre-defined list of topics. The users are given detailed training that can include hands on activity to perform specific document tasks. All relevant training materials are provided.

Seminar – these sessions cover the presentation and demonstration of the key capabilities of a device. Sessions normally last no more than 45 minutes and users are given a basic cheat sheet or functionality user guide to take away with them. Xerox recommends that this training is best reserved for a standard user roll out.

Initial familiarisation – this training is carried out with users at the point of installation and covers a familiarisation of the basic functionality to ensure that users have a basic understanding of how to use a device.

Distance Learning

We have a number of distance learning methods and ideally look to use them to compliment any face-to-face programmes.

Due to the nature of distance learning Xerox recommend that it is best considered for top up training, ad-hoc questions and new users on a business as usual basis. We do not recommend that distance learning be used as the sole training

mechanism.

Example of distance learning includes:

Web Based – This training is provided through the Xerox Services Portal and includes frequently asked questions and device user guides. This training is often used for users that have already had some form of basic training and require a top up and is readily available to all users when required through the Xerox Services Portal.

Transition and Transformation Management Process (TTMP)

Utilising our Service Transition experience, Xerox has developed a comprehensive transition and transformation methodology, the Transition and Transformation Management Process (TTMP), with defined Tollgates, such as Project Plan

Approval and Operational Readiness Approval that follows Operational Readiness Criteria.

The Transition and Transformation Programme will provide for the transition of services from incumbent suppliers to Xerox (if required). When the transition phase has completed successfully the transformation phase will manage the implementation of new technology, workflow processes and tools to deliver robust and innovative services. Xerox will work closely with our clients and their

incumbent suppliers to develop and agree a detailed Transition Plan. Transition & Transformation Management Process (TTMP) diagram:

The Transition and Transformation Management Process (TTMP) is based on best practices and is linked to PMI.

Transition and Transformation activities result in the following key milestones: ► Initiating - Bid to Transition Handover and Client Kick-Off Event

► Planning - Project Plan Completion and Project Plan Approval

► Executing - Operational Readiness, Commencement of Service Date, Project Completion

► Closing - Process Documentation Complete, Post-Implementation Review, Transition to Service Delivery Handover review.
