Last May, Heartland entered into a new agreement with Xerox Corporation to manage our Print Center. This agreement would enable us to use state-of-the-art equipment, provide cheaper full color prints and increase our turnaround time back to the schools. The transition this summer during one of our busiest seasons allowed us to see where there were gaps in the system that needed fixing.
One of the new procedures starting in September, will be implementing a new online print ordering system for our area schools' printing needs. The system is called, WebCRD, and it works much like Amazon.com or Kinkos online. School staff will have a login that will keep documents available for review allowing them to re-order quickly in the future. Users will also get an estimated cost before submitting their order, see the proof of their order and track its progress. This will expedite printing and reduce errors.
As with all transitions there will be a learning curve and some bumps, but the end product will be a more efficient system for ordering your printing. If you have any questions or comments about the new Print Center, please e-mail Brenda Gustafson at bgustafson@aea11.k12.ia.us.
