CareAR Expedites Printer Installation Impacted by Covid-19 International Border Closures
One of Xerox’s most important Canadian clients was ready to install a sophisticated Xerox ink jet printer. However, the Trivor 2400 isn’t easy to get up and running; it requires trained specialists, along with specific tools and techniques. The US-based installation team that usually handles such projects was all set to visit its neighbor up north, except for one wrinkle: restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic prevented them from crossing the border.
“We had to find a way to close the gap, of not having our team physically there but yet provide the support that the local team had on site,” said Carlos Lopez, systems engineer at Xerox. It needed a remote solution to assist the untrained team in Canada with the complicated set-up.
