After many months of development and testing Blackburns has finally gone live servicing one of the UK Governments largest organisations utilising the Zanzibar On line Ordering System.
Blackburns has been contracted to the Government Organisation for over 15 years utilising its own Ad Hoc online ordering system for all their orders to their network of over a 100 branches and offices.
Although Blackburns online system for ordering has just been updated for all clients who utilise the Print Management services a new government directive for utilisation of the Zanzibar system was introduced.
After a period of testing the systems was rolled out to all Government departments and Branches late in 2009 and is being used daily very successfully.
Blackburns are a government approved print service provider and with the Zanzibar system now operational hope other Government organisations will consider their expertise when choosing their next print supplier

The Zanzibar Managed Service provides an easy-to-use self-service model, which allows suppliers, regardless of their technical capabilities, to create electronic catalogues (if desired), receive purchase orders and receipts, and send electronic invoices.
The Zanzibar Managed Service is a managed service that is designed to either complement existing investments in eProcurement systems or provide a complete end-to-end solution for those buying organisations that have not yet invested in an eProcurement or eMarketplace solution.
