CASE STUDY

USER-FRIENDLY AND COST-EFFECTIVE
SOLUTION TO GROUP'S HIGH PRINT OUTPUT
The SHL Versicherungsmakler (Insurance Brokers)GmbH was founded in 2000 by partners Gnther
Schwob, Florian Haas and Frank Liepner. In the
years that followed, the company grew and today
covers the sectors of SHL Insurance Brokers, SHL
Property, SHL Consulting & Management and SHL
Credit Insurance Brokers. In addition the Group
also founded the German Association for the
Protection of Construction Financiers
[Schutzgemeinschaft fr Baufinanzierende e.V.] and
the German Rent Deposit Federation [Deutscher
Mietkautionsbund e.V.], of particular interest for
tenants, it provides a liquidity protecting alternative
to placing any rent deposit that may be required
when renting commercial premises or a private
dwelling.
Concentrated knowledge
So concentrated in SHL today for the benefit of the customer is the
expert knowledge of investment, insurance and property. And the
success of SHL proves this: today the Group employs more than 30 staff
at the Munich, Hamburg and Langensalza sites.
The basis of the commercial development and growth in size of the
company consists of certain simple rules. Open and honest dealing with
customers and one another, the joint approach to problems and
demands as well as highly motivated colleagues, are the basis for the
success of the company which, contrary to all market trends, has
continued to grow and develop. The philosophy that the SHL Group has
always applied is very simple: every piece of advice given must be totally
individual and suit the requirements of the customer. For this the Group
develops tailor made solutions and is thus able to guarantee the very
best care for each individual customer. Moreover they are not bound by
the portfolio of a financial institute or insurer.
Printing history
Hitherto, the Munich office operated with a high-performance printer for
the whole team. "It was soon apparent that there were substantial
disadvantages, that we had not paid sufficient attention to in the past,"
explains Sebastian Kink, an authorised signatory of the SHL Group.

Key Facts
Along with the outstanding cost
profiles of the Epson WorkForce,
a further factor in achieving these
excellent prices is also the
sequential double-sided printing
of documents.
Now printing does not get left
lying around or mixed up with
subsequent print tasks. With a
print-out total of around 15,000 -
20,000 pages a month, this is a
significant factor.

"One printer for the whole team meant that each person must get up,
fetch their paperwork from the printer and then return to their position.
The additional and unused outlay in time was not really the fundamental
problem. Much more irritating was the disturbance of other colleagues'
concentration by the constant noise in the open-plan office from the
unending comings and goings. Now printing does not get left lying
around or mixed up with subsequent print tasks. With a print-out total of
around 15,000 - 20,000 pages a month, this is a significant factor.
Inkjets for work groups
In 2012, the management of the group came to some conclusions and
asked various manufacturers for a printing solution for the office. The
Epson Workforce Pro business inkjet printer was chosen because, in
addition to the excellent cost-per-page, unequalled by any competitor,
the very simple operation was the deciding factor.
"In addition to all the advantages of the Epson printer, there was one
more point", adds Kink. "The success of our company is based on thecompetence and engagement of our staff. So it is normal for us that they
too should be involved in equipping of an office. Many were uneasy
about the current-running debate about dust generation by laser
printers, and so felt that the location of laser printers adjacent to desks
was unacceptable.
Thanks to the changed printing policy introduced as a result, using the
Epson WorkForce, the SHL Group has achieved a cost-per-page of
around 1 Euro cent per black and white page and around 4 Euro cents
per colour page. Along with the outstanding cost profiles of the Epson
WorkForce, a further factor in achieving these excellent prices is also the
sequential double-sided printing of documents. In the Munich office, a
total of ten WorkForce Pro 4525DNF printers have been installed, to
which work groups with up to 5 members have access.
Typically, in every office dealing with insurances, property and consulting
there is, in addition to everyday printing tasks, involvement with high-
powered presentations. For this application, too, the WorkForce printers
are in their element, as thanks to the ink pressure, the processing of
coated paper for the production of suitable presentations and exposs is
child's play. Even document-quality printing on certified paper, for
example that is used for guarantee certificates, can be done be done by
Epson business inkjet printers without any problem.
Conclusion
"We would buy Epson printers again at any time," sums up Kink. "My
advice to companies with work groups of our size would be to consider
inkjet printers as a high value, professional and cost-effective printing
solution." The next SHL Group project is already imminent. "As a result
of this experience we have developed great faith in the Epson brand and
shall soon be examining the company's interactive projection solutions."
