Fuji Xerox wins EDS outsourcing deal

Fuji Xerox Global Services (FXGS) has won a five-year, $4.8 million outsourcing contract with EDS to streamline its print hardware and software infrastructure.

Under the agreement, FXGS would provide Managed Output Services (MOS), replacing EDS’ existing print equipment with new technology to output documents, the majority of which would be multi-function (print, copy, scan and fax) devices.

EDS would streamline its equipment from 324 devices across multiple vendors to 75, managed by FXGS.

Fuji-Xerox would create am “optimal print infrastructure” for EDS by managing all devices, providing detailed utilisation analysis and reporting as well as integrating help desk functions, the company said in a statement.

In addition, FXGS would also establish a print centre to manage all of EDS’ high volume document production requirements.

The agreement was expected to reduce print and administration costs for EDS by up to 26 percent and would run until 2010, the companies said.
