Optimising the printing infrastructure

Located on the south of Tejo River, Portugal, Garcia de Horta has been the most important hospital, which serves a population of more than 350 thousand inhabitants. In addition to all the technology that is integrated, Garcia de Horta also has other technologies that help in the daily management of the hospital. Facing the challenge to monitor the printing park, the technological platform implemented by Konica Minolta, now allows to know in real time all the costs associated with printing services.
