Industry Solutions

Even before the credit crisis, leading banks were taking steps to cut costs and improve productivity. Print has an important role to play in helping organisations meet these sometimes conflicting demands. By standardising on Lexmark devices, optimising printer infrastructures and implementing centralised policies and control, financial organisations can achieve major efficiencies.

Lexmark's extensive experience in the financial services industry shows that greater control of a printer fleet almost always results in reduced energy and paper consumption. Infact, customers can look forward to savings of as much as 40% on their printing costs.

But cost savings are just half the story

Lexmark's MFPs also help financial organisations streamline workflows by automating paper-intensive tasks, such as account openings or loan applications.

The colour scanning capability and customisable platform of Lexmark MFPs makes it possible to scan documents needed for a particular process in a High Street branch and route them over a secure data network for processing centrally. This speeds up business processes considerably and has enabled one Lexmark customer to reduce the time needed to process loan applications from five days to one.

In addition, Lexmark can help financial organisations meet increasingly complex compliance and data security requirements. Secure Print and swipe card authentication systems, not only restrict access to devices and specific functions, they also provide a record of all MFP activity including an audit trail of scanned documents.
