Brady Corp. Standardizes on Lexmark Devices for North American Operations to Ensure Seamless Printing of SAP Reports

Brady Corporation has grown exponentially by acquiring nearly two dozen companies in a two year span, from 2005-2007. To bring its worldwide operations and business practices into synchronization, Brady undertook a mammoth project to implement the SAP business platform with a goal of improving supply chain efficiencies, strengthening customer relationships, and mining the valuable information in its data stores. Brady's North American IT team was faced with dual challenges. One was implementing printing solutions for Brady's SAP installation. Founded in 1991 as a spin-off from IBM, Lexmark already had an intimate knowledge of the AS/400 and the inner workings of the print spooler, perhaps better than anyone else.
