If you think printing is a thing of the past, think again. With the introduction of cloud solutions, printing is coming back in a big way--so here's what you need to know.


What Is Cloud Printing?

These days, multifunction printers and other office machines are smarter than ever. They know how to communicate with email applications, read and understand scanned documents, send maintenance reminders and notifications, and more. However, many of these functions begin in the real world. What would happen if printing went virtual?

The result of such an evolution is simple: cloud printing. With cloud printing, users can grab any device connected to your company's network and complete a print job from there. That means tablets, smartphones, laptops, and other devices all become part of your print environment--and that's great news for remote and hybrid workplaces (or any business that wants to improve flexibility and efficiency).

Benefits of Cloud Printing

Now that you know the what, it's time to take a closer look at the why.

Cloud printing comes with a long list of benefits, especially if you use managed print services to get the most out of your machines, settings, and the print environment overall. Here's a look at just a few things you can expect:

  • Simplicity

Printing shouldn't be complicated--and the cloud helps make that possible. When users can rely on their favorite devices to communicate with your network and printers, they'll have an easier time completing tasks without frustration or error.

  • Flexibility

When your printing solutions are limited to on-site devices, your flexibility takes a nosedive. Cloud printing, on the other hand, allows you to print documents from anywhere--which means you can take work on the road, stay in contact with remote employees, and do better business by going to your clients (instead of making them come to you).

  • Efficiency

At the end of the day, cloud printing is simply more efficient. It cuts out extra steps, streamlines print jobs, reduces the need for transportation, and supports digital collaboration. It also helps you get more out of your cloud and print technology investments, which is good news for your bottom line.

In conclusion, cloud printing is the next big thing in the print world--and if you want to enjoy all these benefits and more, now is the perfect time to get started.
