Energy and Utilities

Lexmark keeps your output flowing up and down the line.

Efficiency is top of mind for everyone these days. How to get more done with greater speed, less budget and fewer resources.

When it comes to helping energy and utility customers make output a core-enabling technology, there's no partner better qualified than Lexmark. We're output specialists, totally focused on print and imaging issues, with a proven approach for optimizing distributed output environments. Distributed, as in the printers, scanners, copiers and multifunction machines your enterprise has acquired over the years. Devices scattered over hundreds of locations. Supporting your business-critical processes and, most likely, some not-so-critical business processes.

Managed Print Services / Optimization Services

The truth is, without visibility to your fleet, you can't monitor it, and you certainly can't manage it. That means it's costing you money every day.

Effectively managing output devices across the distributed enterprise—printers, MFPs, fax machines and copiers—is a formidable challenge. The expense and resources required for supporting these high-demand devices on a reactive, issue-by-issue basis is tremendous. To complicate matters, most companies cannot identify the total number or location of the devices installed throughout their enterprise, which makes it virtually impossible to accurately measure their total output costs.

An automated, real-time system is an invaluable tool for managing output devices in distributed environments for optimal availability, user satisfaction and cost effectiveness.

Security + Compliance

Effective output security requires protection for your data, your devices and your network, user level, integration with network security protocols, and tight controls over document workflows. Lexmark's industry-leading security features and functions provide high levels of protection through device operation, device management, and device hardening.

In addition, Lexmark helps electric utilities comply with the North American Electric Reliability Council's Critical Infrastructure Protection standards. When properly configured and enabled, Lexmark hardware and security solutions support six of the eight CIP reliability requirements. These include:

• CIP 002 – Cyber Asset Identification
• CIP 003 – Security Management Controls
• CIP 005 – Electronic Security Perimeter
• CIP 006 – Physical Security
• CIP 007 – Security Management Systems
• CIP 009 – Disaster Recovery

Sustainability

Green matters.

When it comes to our planet, there is no substitute. Lexmark is committed to protecting our planet's natural resources—and to helping our customers do the same.

The most sustainable page is the page that is not printed. That's why we endorse a simple strategy: Print Less. Using less paper is good for the environment and it is good business. Slashing unnecessary printing not only reduces paper consumption but also reduces toner and electricity usage, lowers maintenance costs, and significantly reduces the overall number of output devices that need to be deployed.

Lexmark helps businesses of all sizes, around the globe, reduce costs and soften their environmental impact by combining the power of digital technology with eco-friendly print practices. We can help you too, by assessing your output environment and providing you with a realistic, measurable action plan to help you reach your sustainability goals.

Lexmark is the output partner that prints smart, thinks green.

Environmental sustainability at Lexmark begins with our pledge to provide quality products and innovative solutions and services for our customers in a safe, environmentally responsible manner. It encompasses our operations, where we deploy best practices in energy conservation, wise water use and waste reduction. And it extends to our support of communities—the places where our employees live and work, and are helping to create a cleaner, smarter future for all of us.

Document Workflow Solutions

In every office environment, there are requirements for tasks such as the capture of a signature on a specific form, the creation of a formatted document or the need to distribute and share information that only exists in hard copy. By strategically understanding what these requirements may be and applying an appropriate output solution directly at the point of need, you can enable more productive execution of those tasks as well as management controls for tracking their usage and success.
