PRINT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Managing the fleet

As data becomes more and more valuable to businesses, Print Management Software offers a solution to efficiency, security, and cost reduction.

Printing has been an essential business practice for decades, and it still plays a crucial role in today’s workplaces. In my own time as a hack, the printer has never stopped as I see how articles look on the page, make corrections, and sift through lengthy transcriptions of my latest interview. However, a lack of control and process in print can lead to increased costs, waste, and security risks. To address these challenges, businesses are turning to print management software, which enables rules-based printing and quotas that can be easily rolled out across an organisation, enhancing control while reducing waste and costs. “Print management software can help businesses achieve greater efficiency, enhanced security, better sustainability, and streamlined printing processes,” said Fawaz Naser CEO Softlist.io. “By providing tools to monitor and manage print jobs, control access to printers, and encourage responsible printing practices, print management software can help organisations reduce costs, improve security, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.” “Printing is a fundamental business practice that still has a place in the workplace today,” said George Davies, Product Marketing Manager of Software and Solutions at Sharp

UK. “But a lack of control and process in this area can lead to increased costs, waste and can even be a security risk. This is where the often-overlooked solution of print management software comes in. “Print management software enables the implementation of rules-based printing and quotas which can be easily rolled out across an organisation, enhancing control whilst also reducing waste and cost. This, for example, can include default mono-duplex printing, whereby the auto settings for print jobs are mono and double-sided.” Automation With that control comes an opportunity, especially in this data-heavy age. Being able to automate tasks is a huge trend throughout the technology industry; to the point where even my job can be done by a robot apparently. This automation wrapped in a print management software solution, according to Ian Silvester, director of product management and customer care at EKM, will be able to save end users time and money and change the way reports are handled. “It’s all about efficiency, security, cost reduction, accuracy, reliability, for resellers because the more you can automate through software, in terms of your business
