For over two decades, ASG has been providing businesses with innovative, high quality, and cost-effective IT services – from business strategy and advisory, to infrastructure and managed services. ASG offer their customers a genuine alternative in the IT Services landscape through their ability to provide a complete digital transformation service. ASG employs over 2000 staff in nine branches across Australia.
With their acquisition of SMS Technologies in late 2017, the ASG Group had two distinct print infrastructure and systems environments requiring integration under two separate vendor contracts. During its discovery process, CPC identified 25% underutilisation of print devices, a substantial amount of ‘waste printing’ and a lack of secure print technology. Additionally, the client requested a more dynamic and flexible print environment whereby staff travelling and operating across the nation could easily and securely print regardless of the branch location.
