The Future of Office Printing: ManagedPrint Leads the Way

Key Questions:

• How will hybrid work models impact office printing needs?
• What security measures are essential for modern printing environments?
• How can ManagedPrint provide flexibility and functionality in a post-COVID world?

The office landscape has drastically changed. During 2020, bustling office environments transformed into quiet spaces reserved for occasional visits. As in-office activity resumes, offices will start to regain their former selves, but the traditional office model will continue to evolve. Hybrid work-from-home and office models are here to stay, with companies operating without large offices and employees appreciating the benefits of working from home a few days a week.

What does this mean for the future of office printing? What should those looking for managed print services in 2021 and beyond be thinking about? Organizations in a post-COVID world need print vendors that can be nimble and adapt to workforce changes. This includes three key factors: flexibility, security, and functionality.

Print Services Flexibility

The working environment of many organizations is still in flux. Work-from-home policies continue to evolve with the pandemic. Workers need to do their jobs, requiring proper office equipment, including printers, scanners, and copiers. That’s why it’s key that vendors offer print services that provide equipment and service to workers in a “non-standard” environment. ManagedPrint offers customers the ability to order print equipment and supplies online, place and monitor service calls, and track shipping. Equipment can easily be ordered and shipped to various locations across a distributed workforce. If individual workers need printer repair or part replacement, they can arrange a UPS pickup and have a new printer or part shipped out, providing minimal downtime.

Office Printing Security

Those considering a managed print services vendor should prioritize security. Smart printers are essentially computers, and every computer is a potential gateway for hackers to gain entry into your network. Having secure print solutions and a security-knowledgeable vendor is key. ManagedPrint taps into extensive experience and security resources, including daily threat management, data protection, and ongoing compliance.

ManagedPrint offers HP JetAdvantage Security Manager, helping you create and maintain a fleet-wide security policy, ensure compliance, and protect your workflow. This attention to printer security guards your company’s information and keeps your organization running smoothly.

Print Services Functionality

You need a brand that can supply a full range of products, from desktop laser printers to large multifunction copy and print machines that provide scanning and faxing capabilities as well as printing in both black and white and color. ManagedPrint partners with leading brands, including Canon, to ensure top-quality office printing.

ManagedPrint offers options for maintaining and supplying your office laser printers. You can choose our full Managed Print Services (MPS) program or our unique, on-demand toner supply model called Total Laser Care. Total Laser Care offers a no-cost, no-fee service program that includes a pay-by-the-cartridge toner replacement system. If your office laser printer needs repair, you can get those repairs handled quickly and free of charge, with just the cost of the supplies you are already purchasing regularly.

Opting for the MPS route allows you to take advantage of our Auto Toner Replenishment service, which takes the guesswork out of refueling your machines with toner. Our software provides real-time reporting on your device consumable levels, alerting our fulfillment center to ship out toner one week before you need it. This way, you don’t have to worry when you see a “low toner” alert. You’ll know your toner replacement is ready and waiting.

ManagedPrint also offers flexibility with a mix of MPS for main offices and Total Laser Care for field offices or “work-from-home” setups.

The Future of Office Printing

Today’s print services vendor needs to lead the way by providing flexibility, security, and functionality to companies navigating the continually changing roadmap of 2021 and beyond.
