When LarsonAllen moved to their new
St. Cloud facility in September 2003, their goal was to become as “paperless” as possible. One of the features their accountants required in their new copier/printers was the ability to print directly from their desktop.

Ardell Wilkes from LarsonAllen worked with Greg Gau, Marco Account Representative, to upgrade to five new networked Sharp AR-651 copier/printers and a high-volume Sharp AR-810 for their new facilities. Ardell explained, “As our contracts for older copiers expired, Marco allowed us to just purchase copies on a monthly basis at the same rate until we made the move to our new building and upgraded to new equipment.”

With their move they were able to eliminate some older personal printers and centralize their new networked units within the departments. This allows several people to access the same unit and print directly from their desktop. They also benefit from features such as scan to email and scan to desktop for electronic filing, searching, and indexing of their documents. These features have allowed them to save on paper costs and help organize their files.  LarsonAllen’s Sharp AR-810 is located in their Processing Center and is used mainly to produce multiple copies of tax documents.

For Ardell, the copier/printer transition to the new facility was a smooth one. “I can’t say enough about the installation and training Marco provided. They’re congenial people and come back and take care of us. I’ll call Greg if I have a question on a machine or invoice and most often I get a call back within hours. Technical support is here within four hours. Marco gives us good service!”

When asked to describe Marco in one sentence, Ardell responded, “Caring. You can’t have the equipment without the service, which is why we stay with Marco.”
