UPrint, the University’s Managed Print Services (“MPS”) Program managed by the Design & Document Production Center, is a service provided to all University of Connecticut campuses (“UConn”) through an external provider who will analyze document output devices (such as copiers, printers and fax machines) with the goal of reducing the total cost of ownership, improving efficiency and productivity, and furthering the University’s sustainability initiatives.

Our mission is to expand enrollment and participation of small/minority businesses on University contracts, by facilitating the opportunity for said businesses to provide valuable, quality, timely goods and services, while building mutually beneficial, respectful, lasting business relationships with the University community.

In response to the fiscal challenges, Procurement Services and the University community continue to explore cost reduction opportunities, redefine business processes, and re-evaluate the way in which the University procures goods and services while maintaining the quality and integrity of the UConn community. While some efforts may seem small, collectively they make a difference that UCount on.
