Is your team working remotely or hybrid? Are you looking to integrate mobile printing features into your print infrastructure? If this sounds like you, cloud print management solutions are the perfect solutions for you. Cloud print solutions are ideal for businesses looking to stay agile and competitive in today’s digital world. If you are wondering how cloud print works and want to learn more about the benefits, you’ll want to stick around.
How Does Cloud Print Work?
Cloud printing works by enacting various technologies that allow users to print from multiple devices connected to applicable internet-connected printers. For context, printers didn’t always have the technology or infrastructure to perform such advanced print features. Printing used to be limited to a desktop and your printer only.
Now, as we’ve progressed into a digital dominant society, with tablets, smartphones, and other devices being used regularly in offices around the world, we have an advanced printing solution. Having the ability to print from anywhere at any time is a game-changer. These services have made collaboration and printing more manageable for remote and hybrid teams than ever.
Cloud printing enables printing from the devices we mentioned before using internet software. The software allows users to print anywhere outside of the office. That means whether your team is traveling or working remotely, they will have printing access to your printers without physically being in the office.
What Does the “Cloud” Mean?
When we refer to the cloud for printing, we are referring to the method of transferring your print job to the printer. The “cloud” process allows users to print remotely and offline. Depending on the device you are using to print, there will be different printing applications that your team can download to their phone to perform their print job successfully.
Apple and Google/Android are the most popular mobile and tablet devices in many offices. To avoid users printing from different applications, you can integrate PaperCut into your print environment so your team can print more efficiently. Plus, you don’t have to worry about implementing additional software because downloading PaperCut is free!
Benefits of Cloud Printing
We can’t talk about the advantages of cloud printing without highlighting the limitations of traditional onsite printing. We briefly spoke about hybrid and work-from-home offices, but did you know that these work models are among the fastest-growing in the world? Aside from significantly reducing onsite print management usage, it can become costly if your business is funneling a substantial amount of money into your environment.
Maintaining, upgrading, and purchasing print servers and other onsite print management software is costly. If most of your team performs their daily tasks remotely, you waste money investing in this infrastructure. Energy costs are another added expense when working with onsite print infrastructure.
As you can see, moving to the cloud is a natural progression to help avoid the problems we’ve highlighted. Cloud print will resolve all these issues while adding more strength to your print environment.
Stay Agile & Competitive with Cloud Print
One of the greatest strengths of investing in cloud print in your environment is that it allows your business to stay competitive and agile in the increasingly digital landscape of offices worldwide. Although you may hear the term cloud thrown around often, it doesn’t mean everyone is up to speed.
By investing in these services earlier, you are inching ahead of the competition with the ability to complete print-related tasks quickly and efficiently. A solid print infrastructure is a critical component of a company’s success.
Implementing these services will help ensure your print environment is running smoothly, allowing you to redirect your energy towards more critical business initiatives.
Effectively Reduce Costs in Your Office
Transitioning to cloud printing will help your business avoid capital expenditure. You can reduce your operating costs by investing in these services in contrast with onsite software with an array of print-related expenses. Furthermore, you can eliminate or significantly reduce the presence and cost of expensive printers, copiers, MFPs, and other printer technology from your office.
Another cost reduction is paper waste. You would be surprised by the substantial amount of paper waste collected annually. As we know, this waste negatively impacts the environment in many ways, but it also directly affects your budget. Paper waste can spiral out of control; before you know it, you are wasting a substantial amount of money.
Flexible and Secure Printing
Cloud printing is convenient and reliable for all different types of offices. Whether your team is constantly traveling or working remotely, you can print anywhere from any device! Additionally, you receive top-notch security to ensure your print jobs are safe and protected no matter where you are printing from.
These two qualities make cloud printing an excellent choice for offices with a dynamic work structure. As your business begins to grow and change rapidly, you don’t have to worry about an outdated print infrastructure that struggles to keep up with the demands of your office.
Is Cloud Printing Compatible with MFPs?
Multifunction Printers (MFPs) are compatible with cloud printing. This is great news for businesses looking to boost productivity in their offices. For reference, MFPs are innovative printing devices that can print, copy, scan, and fax all on one device. MFPs are true workhorses and can help boost office productivity with solid security features and comprehensive connectivity options.
Pairing these devices with cloud printing creates a highly productive office environment where staff can easily switch between tasks like printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, all while printing remotely! Furthermore, pairing these options will guarantee cost savings, as the MFP helps drastically reduce the number of print devices in your office, as you can perform all the functions of multiple devices on your MFP.
