Technology provider Advanced Integrated Systems (AIS) has handed over a Konica Minolta photocopier/printer valued at US$1,400 (J$210,000) to the Maxfield Park Children’s Home through a partnership with the Nexus 101 Optimist Club of Kingston.

The Home generates a significant amount of paperwork and the all-in-one printer from Konica Minolta is expected to streamline workplace processes and improve printing performance.

Maxwell Coldspring, operations manager at Maxfield Park Children’s Home, said the new printer was a well-needed resource for the facility.

“Some special needs children attend school which requires things to be made and printed specifically for them. The photocopier will help in that regard. The home also has a lot of paperwork,’’ Coldspring said while showing his appreciation.

“This donation will alleviate some of the pressure on the staff at the home and assist the wards in doing their assignments and projects.”

The Optimist Club had recognised the need and quickly jumped to assist by engaging the help of AIS.

“The need is great at the Maxfield Park Children’s Home. Over the years I’ve been associated with them and our Club has been looking at projects during the pandemic especially to impact education for the youth,’’ said Yvonne Purcell, president of Nexus 101 Optimist Club of Kingston.

AIS, a fervent corporate citizen, immediately pledged its donation, after learning that the school at the Home serves children 0-18 years of age.

“We have long been a major supporter of the education, youth, technology and health sectors. This donation will alleviate some of the pressure on the staff at the home and assist the wards in doing their assignments and projects. We were elated to come on board with this initiative,” said Stacey Halsall-Peart, chief operating officer, AIS.

AIS has been at the forefront of technology in Jamaica for more than 30 years. The company specialises in providing ICT solutions primarily in the financial and insurance industries, and is now the largest regional processor of online, real time health claims for the public and private sectors.

The company also provides health information management software to the health sector.
