Overview: The article is about a company named Apollo Group, Inc. (Apollo), which is a publicly owned company with a forte in secondary education. Its subsidiaries include the well-known University of Phoenix, as well as the Institute for Professional Development, Western International University and the College for Financial Planning. Apollo's Facilities Management department, were spending a ton of money on copying. IKON Office Solutions, through which Apollo was leasing its copy equipment, suggested in 1991 that its facilities management department could reduce Apollo's costs through outsourcing. IKON would eliminate much of the existing equipment, put in a copy center staffed with IKON employees, and place convenience copiers strategically around the office. Flexibility is a key element to seek in supplier services in facilities management, especially if the buyer is a growing company with potential changes in buildings and number of employees.
