Overview
Printing in organizations, a basic requirement, is no longer just a simple, desktop-to-printer operation:
- Stringent regulations and business requirements for stricter data privacy, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights protection across industries, with stiff penalties and liabilities for violations and breaches, are forcing organizations to review security levels in printing.
- The increased usage of smart phones and tablets in organizations, accelerated by BYOD policies, is driving the need for better mobile printing functionality on par with the traditional desktop environment.
- Complicating all of this is the requirement to track, control and manage printing across a diverse desktop environment, mobile environment and multiple brands of printers/MFPs/All-in-ones in your organization.
- Not to mention the desire to have a single solution addressing all your needs, while protecting your existing investments in printing infrastructure.
A traditional printer driver from the printer vendor will no longer suffice. Comprehensive solutions from printer vendors or point solutions, if available, from mobile operating system suppliers and others, leave you with many challenges such as:
- Inability to implement secure printing support for your existing legacy fleet of print devices
- Lack of support for a wide range of print devices from multiple vendors
- Multiplicity of mobile & desktop printing solutions to meet the varied operating environments of organizations
- Concerns with page formatting, accurate reproduction of documents & usability of the printouts
- Lack of support for a wide range of file formats including Microsoft Office® (Microsoft® Word, Microsoft Excel®, Microsoft PowerPoint®) and printing access from different mobile apps
- High overall cost of ownership
