The C5510MFP: the professional solution preferred by online travel agent Opodo
01/03/2006
Although leading independent travel agent Opodo conducts the vast majority of its correspondence online, there is still a lot of communication such as offers, contracts, and bills that need to be printed.
As an organisation, Opodo provides its customers with bargain priced flights, rental cars and accommodation from a database of over 400 airlines, 34,000 hotels and car hire services in 7,000 locations worldwide. To ensure they can continue to offer the most competitive prices Opodo needs to keep its administration and office costs to a minimum.
Until recently, Opodo shared office space with an advertising agency; this not only helped to save on office rental costs but also provided the added benefit of saving on other office related costs such as printing photocopying, faxing etc. Having taken the plunge and moved into their new office, Opodo were keen to acquire a new multifunctional office device that enabled them to save on cost, save on space, was network ready and provided fast, high quality printing. After extensive research Opodo decided that there was only one product that truly fulfilled all these criteria, the C5510MFP.
"Before making our decision on the C5510MFP, we initially looked at a diverse range of printers, copiers and scanners from different providers," says Armin Konrad, Airline Account Manager, of Opodo Limited Germany. "We were not aware that all necessary functions could be carried out by one office machine."
Having decided that they were going to purchase a multifunction product, Opodo carefully researched what the market had to offer. "Unfortunately, most of the all-in-one office machines are based on inkjet print engines all of which were too expensive and printed too slowly," says Konrad. "There are twenty people in our office, all of whom need access to printing, copying and scanning simultaneously, so we needed a fast and flexible solution."
After testing a range of products Opodo decided that the C5510MFP was the most superior office solution. Its network-readiness and first rate balance of cost and performance were the deciding factors. "What I like best about the C5510MFP is that whilst we save on cost and the amount of office space used we are still getting extremely high quality output at top speeds," commented the Account Manager. "We also have three years warranty and an extensive range of installed consumables. We've got a real bargain with the C5510MFP."
Opodo has been using the OKI C5510MFP since June 2005 and are completely satisfied. Despite its numerous functions, it has been extremely easy to operate and maintain.
