According to Xerox, Reuters will make a cost of ownership saving of 19 per cent per year.

Reuters' print infrastructure comprises more than 1,400 printers and similar function devices from 200 different suppliers. This will be consolidated to Xerox-only flavour machines, managed on site by an eight-strong Xerox team.

Reuters facilities management sourcing manager, Nigel Smith, said in a statement: "All our systems work, availability is at an all-time high and everything is taken care of for us. What's more, we have a clear understanding of exactly what we are spending and saving - and where."
