Rockland-based South Shore Savings Bank has partnered with Bay Copy, a provider of digital document solutions, to create a managed print services program to meet the bank’s document solutions needs.

Bay Copy created a managed print services program that assisted the bank in streamlining communication processes, reducing the amount of paper generated and improving document generation needs, according to a statement. The bank was able to reduce the number of office equipment from 140 units to 47 units.

"In addition to cost reductions, this program has helped us to provide the highest caliber of service to our customers," said Pamela O’Leary, senior vice president and CIO at South Shore Savings Bank. "Our equipment maintains a large stamp of security, ensuring that customer information remains protected and confidential."

"We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome South Shore Savings Bank has realized through their managed print services program," said Ray Belanger, CEO of Bay Copy. "The potential overall savings for the bank could be significant; while an industry study has found that document generation costs account for 1 percent to 3 percent of a company’s expenditures, a carefully-implemented program can reduce those costs by 10 percent to 15 percent."
