### Melbourne plus both goldfields branches, priced together

Put Melbourne at the top. Ballarat and Bendigo go underneath.

Global Document Solutions looks after managed print for Ballarat and Bendigo offices, on a Melbourne agreement with 3 plans.

### One agreement, forking west and north west

According to Wikipedia, Ballarat is the third largest city in Victoria, about 90 minutes from Melbourne on the Western Freeway.

Bendigo lies about 150 kilometres north west of Melbourne, by the same source's Bendigo article.

A Melbourne group may well keep an office in each.

The two offices rarely end up on the same copier terms.

#### What is managed print for a Ballarat or Bendigo office?

Managed print services in Ballarat and Bendigo place both goldfields offices on the agreement your Melbourne office holds.

Each city's office is given a printer that fits its workload.

Each printer has a monthly plan, and each office a page report.

A goldfields office partway into a copier lease can set out a goldfields copier lease next to a managed plan.

Melbourne to the goldfields
One contract and one invoice, with Ballarat and Bendigo reported apart.

Each city keeps a printer suited to it.

A bank's regional team and a university office print to different rhythms.

Both still dial one number.

### Goldfields towns a Victorian office list often runs to

These are examples, and every Victorian address is serviced.

Around Ballarat

The city centre, with Wendouree and Sebastopol close by.

Creswick, a short way up the Midland Highway to the north.

According to Wikipedia, the Ballarat Technology Park employs over 1,400 people.

Around Bendigo

Kangaroo Flat and Eaglehawk, plus Strathfieldsaye.

According to Wikipedia, Bendigo is home to the head office of Bendigo Bank.

Castlemaine and Kyneton back towards Melbourne.

The city office joins too, as a Melbourne office quoted with both goldfields cities.

Your town is not here
Put it on the form.

Its visits get booked the normal way.

### What a goldfields address changes, and what it leaves alone

Ballarat and Bendigo are both regional addresses when a visit is booked, big as they are.

Generally, a technician is on site by the next business day.

A Melbourne office, in a capital city, generally sees one within 4 hours.

Each time is how GDS normally works, and the agreement holds neither as a term.

According to Wikipedia, Bendigo is the fourth most populous city in Victoria.

Distance moves the visit, never the plan.

A Bendigo office printing 5,000 mono plus 500 colour pages monthly goes on Enterprise, as a Melbourne office printing that much would.

From $160 + GST a month per printer.

Standard plans, tailored to your fleet. Excess page rates are stated in your quote and are normally the same at every location.

Paper, staples and pages above your agreed volume sit outside that figure.

### When a printer goes down in Ballarat or Bendigo

The office rings one number, and it reaches us.

#### Who services a printer in Sebastopol or Kangaroo Flat, and when?

Who services it

An authorised dealer or the manufacturer, called out by us.

Bendigo is called out exactly as Ballarat is.

The office is never invoiced by the repairer.

The person ringing gives the printer and the symptom.

The printer keeps its plan.

Sebastopol and Kangaroo Flat jobs land in one queue on our desk.

When

In the goldfields, generally the next business day.

In Melbourne, generally within 4 hours.

Both reflect how GDS normally works, and the contract fixes neither.

A Castlemaine office dials the same number as the Melbourne office.

We keep the job going until the Castlemaine printer works.

### Why a bank office and a university faculty need different printers

Statements printed in batches and lecture notes run off in bursts call for different machines.

Five answers we need per office

| Each office | What follows |
| --- | --- |
| Monthly pages | Its plan of the three |
| Colour share | The colour it includes |
| Users per printer | The speed it needs |
| Private documents | Whether jobs are held |
| When the lease ends | Its changeover date |

How many pages each plan carries

| Plan | Each month |
| --- | --- |
| Starter | 2,000 pages in mono |
| Professional | 2,000 in mono, 200 in colour |
| Enterprise | 5,000 in mono, 500 in colour |

Each goldfields plan is tuned to its office, and pages past it carry the rate named in your quote.

Ballarat and Bendigo normally pay Melbourne's rate, according to GDS.

A small regional bank team printing its statements in black and white each month often fits Starter.

#### Moving Ballarat and Bendigo across

Reviewed first

Both offices are costed before you say yes.

Each gets a figure of its own.

Lease by lease

Each office changes over when its present lease is up.

Open an office in Castlemaine later and it joins this agreement, with the monthly total moving to match.

Printers you already own are left out.

Optional, at a cost

PaperCut lets staff pick up a print with a card or code, as an optional extra.

Doing away with the print server, the computer holding the queue, is optional too.

Microsoft 365 offices can use that.

A printer's memory can be wiped at the end of the agreement, for a fee.

Every option shows in the quote with its cost.

### Ballarat and Bendigo questions, answered

#### Can Ballarat and Bendigo offices go on our Melbourne managed print agreement?

Yes. Both goldfields offices join the Melbourne agreement.

Every printer has a plan sized for its own office.

The one invoice lists each office with its page report.

#### How fast is a printer in Ballarat or Bendigo attended?

Generally the next business day, since both cities count as regional.

Melbourne offices are generally reached within 4 hours.

The agreement treats neither time as a term.

#### Who services a broken printer at our Bendigo office?

An authorised dealer or the manufacturer, sent out from our desk.

The office places one call, and it comes to us.

The office never gets the repairer's bill.

#### How is a Ballarat office printer priced each month?

Chiefly on its monthly pages and its share of colour.

Toner and parts come in every plan, and visits do too.

Your quote states the excess page rates, which GDS normally keeps level everywhere.

#### Will an office we open in Castlemaine need a separate contract?

No. The present agreement takes it on.

The monthly total rises by that office's plan.

You decide whether the end date stays or moves out.

### Sebastopol to Strathfieldsaye

Melbourne's office is welcome on this form too.

### Melbourne first, then each goldfields office

Give us Melbourne and each Ballarat or Bendigo office.

Every office gets a written reply naming its printer and plan, plus its extra page rate.
