Scope:
The Netaphor product will enable ASU and Canon to improve the management of the ASU fleet of printers across the university using the software to track and scan printer hardware. With enhanced data collection the ASU/Canon team can further reduce the energy consumption of print devices, improving sustainability practices.
The urgency of this installation is to fulfill the need to produce information for the sustainability initiative for reducing print and publications and enhancing sustainability at ASU.
Now that school is in session the volume of transactions is at a peak and the data gathering analysis will ensure a proper sizing of devices, number of devices, and a reduction of carbon neutrality by a reduction of the number of devices and the encouragement of a reduction of printing for paper waste and energy savings.
The following resources will be needed to complete the project: UTO db, UTO network, Canon technology, UTO Enterprise, UTO security.
Resource members met with Canon and reviewed project, determined project is small in scope and fairly simple. Time for UTO team = 20-30 hrs
