Canon Business Solutions-NEWCAL, Inc. proposed right-sizing the Giants fleet of single-function document management devices, such as printers, copiers, scanners, and fax machines, to multi-functional devices. The result will be a significant reduction in energy usage and printing costs as well as a dramatic improvement in organizational efficiency.

“We are very pleased to partner with the Giants to upgrade their document management and workflow at AT&T Park,” said Steve Tarpley, president, Canon Business Solutions-NEWCAL, Inc. “The San Francisco Giants have a well-deserved reputation for being ahead of the curve with technology implementation. Deployment of a Canon imageRUNNER MFP fleet dovetails nicely with their goals of greater efficiencies and reduced impact on the environment. We look forward to working with the Giants for many years to come.”

“The San Francisco Giants are committed to investing in technology that furthers our business objectives and enhances the experience for fans and staff at AT&T Park,” comments Giants’ CIO Bill Schlough. “Our partnership with Canon Business Solutions-NEWCAL, Inc. has enabled us to eliminate legacy hardware, reduce costs and increase productivity with their advanced multi-function devices. This partnership has been a grand slam for the Giants.”

About the San Francisco Giants and AT&T Park

The San Francisco Giants of the National League are one of the oldest franchises in Major League Baseball. Boasting a 126-year history, the team moved to San Francisco from New York in 1958, playing a total of 42 years in Seals Stadium and Candlestick Park before moving into their current home at AT&T Park in 2000.

Since opening its gates in 2000, AT&T Park has become internationally-renowned as a premier venue in the world of both sports and entertainment. On the diamond, more than 28 million spectators have witnessed a trio of playoff appearances, the 2002 World Series and a bevy of magical moments. Barry Bonds established his own historical stage on the shores of McCovey Cove, from his record-setting 71st home run in 2001 to the all-time home run record (762 HRs) in 2007. Likewise, the euphoria that surrounded the Giants’ pennant clinching win in 2002 is forever etched upon the San Francisco sports landscape. The ballpark was the center of the baseball universe when it hosted the 78th Major League Baseball All-Star Game on July 10, 2007. In 2008, the Giants celebrated the team’s 50th year in San Francisco. AT&T Park has also played host to some of music’s biggest acts, including the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band and Green Day.

Off the field, the Giants have one of the premier community outreach programs in professional sports, becoming the first team to implement a 100 percent participation program, involving every player, coach and uniformed staff member in at least one community project throughout the season. Through its community outreach programs, the Giants work with corporate and non-profit partners to raise awareness, educate and generate interest in a variety of issues important to both their fans and community.
