Leveraging the Power of Print Management for the Hybrid Office

By Virginia Business Systems
March 08, 2021

The hybrid office — that mix of in-house operations coupled with an occasional work-from-home day (or two or three) has become the new standard for the modern office.

In order to keep this hybrid environment working smoothly, employees must have seamless access to the applications and devices they use daily, regardless of the location from which they are working.

 

And printing still remains at the core of most necessary business operations. To stay flexible and productive, employees — whether in-house or remote — must have easy access to print technology. However, in this day of ever-increasing cyberattacks and security breaches, employers are more fearful than ever about managing data in a remote environment.

 

Fortunately, choosing to employ a print management solution can bring the convenience of full functionality to employees, successfully bridging the home-to-work environment as well as providing a host of additional benefits.

 

And more importantly, a properly deployed managed print program can keep you data safer from theft and loss.

Why Your Successful Hybrid Work Environment Depends on Managed Print

There are a number of challenges facing businesses as they shift to a hybrid environment for work, beginning with a lack of continuity in the procurement of print devices for remote work environments.

However, added to this drawback are even more impactful additional roadblocks to the seamless deployment of print functionality across a hybrid workforce, including:

  • How to monitor and manage remote devices
  • How to track jobs for accounting
  • How to track usage patterns
  • How to secure data throughout the print lifecycle
  • How to flexibly finance a remote printer fleet
  • How the remote fleet will impact IT needs

For many small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) the task of creating and managing a hybrid print environment can be daunting, but even larger companies can get bogged down in the details.

 

Smaller businesses typically don’t have the in-house IT resources to handle the design, deployment, and management of a remote printer fleet, while the IT departments in larger enterprises are often too overburdened with other tasks to focus on in the details.

 

That’s why many businesses — large and small — are turning to print management experts to help them design and maintain a successful hybrid print environment.

 

Managed Print Services (MPS): The Smart Way to Equip Your Hybrid Workplace

Successful print management for the hybrid workforce ensures your employees have access to the print functionality they need, and makes certain your data is safe and your print solution is cost-effective.

Investing in managed print services (MPS) through a trusted third-party provider gives your business the power you need to address roadblocks and challenges while keeping a close eye on your bottom line.

Today’s MPS often rely on cloud-based print solutions for added security, but your managed services provider (MSP) will also employ a number of security protocols including ensuring all print related hard- and software are continuously maintained, updated, and patched.

 

As an added value, MPS also provides analytics to help you track even remote usage, control access, and remotely monitor devices to detect suspicious activity.

 

And your MSP will often have many financing options to help you expand and optimize your fleet within your budget’s parameters, making MPS the right choice for managing all of your in-house and remote printing needs.
