Smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices allow people to stay connected wherever they have an Internet connection. For your business, this means your employees can get work done whether in the office, at home, or while travelling. With 92% of employees reporting they want to print from their mobile device, has your company implemented a mobile print strategy yet?
Let’s look at three reasons why you should consider mobile print:
- Convenience and Productivity – If your business, like many others, relies on printed documents, your off-site employees are at a significant disadvantage if they are unable to print from wherever they are. Mobile printing allows them to print on a network or other nearby printer to keep working. This convenience helps keep your business running smoothly, even when your employees are not all in the office.
- IT Solutions – Print can keep IT busy – but it shouldn’t. Your IT department is better utilized working on more critical tasks. A mobile printing standard can keep all your employees on the same system, so printing can be done from anywhere without the IT team needing to be involved in time-consuming setup and troubleshooting.
- Network Security – Print, whether mobile or traditional, opens your business up to security risks. User authentication, encryption, and other methods should be employed regardless of whether or not you have mobile print. A mobile print strategy should outline a print standard that will work for any device within the company, providing a unified standard of security. This ultimately will boost your overall network security.
Mobile print allows your employees to be as productive out of the office as they are when working in it. With a unified print strategy, your network and information can remain secure. Mobile technology is changing the business world, and a mobile print strategy can help keep your business stay on the cutting edge.
