The Challenge

3,700 students, 300 staff and a printing system from another era: Equitrac was getting more expensive and couldn’t keep up with BYOD campus life. Students wanted to print from their laptops and smartphones – but the old system let them down.

Outdated System

Annual Equitrac costs kept rising while functionality stagnated.

BYOD Support

Students couldn’t print from their laptops and smartphones.

User Expectations

A print job started in Building A – but the nearest free printer was in Building C.

Billing System

Without online payment, students had to buy credit at the counter.
