The future of corporate documents management is in the Public Cloud and Universal Print by Microsoft is definitely a game changer in 2021. Universal Print by Microsoft will most probably disrupt the print management business by offering deep integration into Windows, high security and simplified usage at a low cost, and therefore threatens a significant number of "me-too" solutions that have bet on the idea that paperless office may never happen. Such solutions often capitalized on their high-quality, heavy, features-rich Windows/Linux server-based software. Universal Print by Microsoft also boasts a "Universality" that relates to the fact it is a brand-agnostic Print Management solution, clients can purchase the printer of their choice, no more lock on one supplier. How a global and terrible pandemic impacted one of the slowest industries but created a unique opportunity for a radical change in 2021 thanks to the Cloud
What high-tech industry has had no significant consolidation for the past 20 years, and besides speed and size, no significant change? Not many, and office printing is one of them. There are as many vendors as 20 years ago and the last consolidations were the purchase of Samsung Printing division by HP in 2017 and the merging of Konica and Minolta in 2003. Then Xerox tried the hostile takeover of HP but the Covid-19 had the last word, it was cancelled. The core reason for printing being quite a static industry is that technical limits have been reached since a long time. Who needs a 4800dpi quality or 80 pages per minute to print a spreadsheet? Most printer vendors invested heavily in services, through managed print services and document solutions where the printer is just an entry or exit point for information. Print Management solutions market grew in popularity for two reasons, to keep the printer fleet and its cost under control, and to make it easy and safe for end-users to output documents on corporate office printers. But the revolution will not come from printer vendors, it will come in 2021 from the Cloud and the Covid-19 pandemic has been the catalyzer for that revolution. (More...)
Sensitive and confidential information on paper is the same as sensitive information on computers. Both need to be protected from unauthorized access. Both need to be protected with the same diligence and if printed documents are lost or misplaced, they should be traceable back to the person who authenticated the release from the printer. A major 630 bed teaching Hospital, with an emphasis in Cardiac and Respiratory Medicine, was progressing towards wireless infrastructure and tablet-based applications. To take advantage of greater mobility, a Mobile Clinical app was developed inhouse to enable Clinicians to prescribe and print pharmaceutical prescriptions as they move about the hospital. Government regulation required pharmaceutical prescriptions to be printed on special paper. What that meant was the Clinician, being anywhere in the hospital, would need to find a printer loaded with the appropriate paper, discover which paper tray was loaded with it then select that printer and paper tray and print to it. That was a problem. With so many brands and styles of MFP’s and Printers, most optioned with multiple paper trays, that method would be too cumbersome and detract from the benefits of the Mobile App. So, what to do? Back in 2012 Celiveo received a call from a printer vendor telling them: /
A large multinational company who has many, any sites, wants
a MFP access control and pull print solution that does not rely on any server, fully works even if WAN connections are down and by the way it must ensure nobody prints emails in color... /
The size of the project? Well, around 9000 printers and MFPs used in 9 countries in Europe and Latin America, over around 980 sites. For such a deal you can imagine all printer vendors and integrator were on the starting line, ready to show their best technology.

Printers page counters and jobs trackingYou are using printers and a powerful print and copy jobs tracking solution such as Celiveo, and the printers page counter differs by 1 to 10% from the total number of pages your tracking software reports. Here are some explanation for that mystery: (more...) We can read everything and its opposite on the Internet on Green-IT, and are often asked for trusted sources of information on the true environmental cost of printing. Total cost of pollution can be split in paper, printer hardware and supplies (toner, maintenance, energy). Here we are going to list and document the cost to environment when more printers are used than necessary. (more...) |
