What is Cloud Print?

Cloud Print

In today's fast-paced, digital era, where many businesses operate remotely, convenient and efficient processes are key. Cloud print is an innovative way for businesses to remotely handle their printing needs, offering a number of benefits. 

But what exactly is cloud print? In this blog, we'll dive into the ins and outs of cloud printing and why it's becoming an essential solution for businesses.
 

What is Cloud Print?

Cloud print is a technology that allows users to print documents from any device, without the need for a physical connection to a printer. No matter where you are in the world, files can be sent from your smartphone, tablet, or computer directly to print.

As more and more businesses become remote, with employees in various locations, cloud printing offers much-needed convenience, efficiency, and accessibility. Information travels through the 'cloud', a global network of remote servers on the internet.

Accessible and convenient

A big benefit of cloud print is accessibility. As long as you have an internet connection, you can send documents to print. It removes the need to physically connect your device to the printer or be in the same location, which is particularly beneficial for remote teams or businesses with multiple locations. Whether you're working from home, at a café, or even halfway around the world, printing is accessible to all. 

Improved Security

Serverless managed print services (MPS) can enhance business security. Consulting a third-party provider like UT³ means you can rely on us to keep your business data protected.

And you don’t have to worry about securing the underlying infrastructure, as we have years of experience and expertise to support you. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that we ensure security in the following ways… 

  • Documents are encrypted and stored locally until they expire and/or get deleted.
  • Documents do not leave the customer’s network unless using Print via the cloud is enabled.
  • Document names can only be seen by the owner of the document.
  • Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a key length of 256 bits is used to encrypt documents.

Our cloud-based print management solutions are especially designed and structured to provide a complete print infrastructure and secure printing environment, that guarantees efficiency, productivity, and cost savings. 

Highly scalable and flexible

Cloud printing is highly scalable, allowing businesses to increase or decrease their printing capabilities without investing in additional hardware. This makes it a perfect solution for both small businesses and large corporations.

At UT³, our managed print services are based on a flexible subscription model, so what you pay each month will align with your actual print usage, creating more financial flexibility.

A cost-effective solution

Since cloud print removes the need to invest in physical printers and servers, businesses can save a significant amount of money, as well as physical office space. There’s also no ongoing maintenance needed, which can be costly and time-consuming.
