Fortunately , there ’ s a solution – ‘ up ’ in the cloud .
Cloud-based print management makes it easy to balance all of the challenges that come with print management across a hybrid workforce . Organizations believe in the power of the cloud , with over 44 % of organizations already using a cloud-based print service and an additional 43 % planning to do so – as discovered in the Quocirca survey .
More than half of organizations believe a cloud print service is more secure than managing print onpremise , so adoption is set to increase . Specifically , 21 % of organizations expect to be fully in the cloud in two years ’ time .
Just like we ’ re no longer tethered to the boundaries of a traditional workspace , the cloud frees organizations from traditional print management with a solid foundation built on four key advantages .
Cloud-based print management helps eliminate the disruptions that come with printing while working remotely , improving productivity and employee satisfaction . It also reduces the burden on IT departments , improves security and reduces costs .
Enhanced document security and compliance
• An audit trail provides visibility into who printed what , where and when for a detailed information chain of custody .
• Encrypted communication between clients and service , endpoint authenticity validation , protection of data at rest and data communication encryption create a secure framework .
• A secure multi-tenant cloud platform extends zero
trust security to remote workers .
Cost savings
• A cloud-based solution lowers on-premise infrastructure costs .
• The cloud also lowers the costs related to services , support and maintenance fees .
• Predictive analytics provides a visual display of print and capture workflows , making it easier to manage costs and make well-informed decisions . p
Here ’ s a closer look at how the four benefits of cloudbased print management help hold your remote and hybrid workers up :
Improved productivity and efficiency
• Automatic discovery of print networks with intelligent print driver selection and automatic print queue installation lets employees focus on their job .
• Secure release and ‘ print later ’ technology enable workers to get the documents they need while making sure confidential information isn ’ t left insecure .
• The ability to print from anywhere to anywhere on the corporate network or home printers with security and tracking balances ease of use with security .
• A seamless unified experience for print and capture across all devices maximizes convenience for remote and hybrid workers .
The cloud frees organizations from traditional print management with a solid foundation built on four key advantages .

Central administration and management
• The ability to deploy printers from any location at any time eases the burden on IT .
• Automatic version updates give the peace of mind software and drivers are always updated .
• The ability to update drivers from a central management location makes it easier for IT to maximize printer security without increasing the burden on staff .
