Overview

October 25

As higher education institutions think of new ways to support their students, faculty and staff in a hybrid landscape, they should consider the many advantages of digital transformation in the form of managed print services. Managed print services provides greater reliability and flexibility to individuals who need crucial printed materials, regardless of where they work from or the tight deadline they might face.

Managed print services also addresses one of the underappreciated pain points in higher education: the cost of maintaining printers across an entire campus. A modernized print strategy has the obvious benefit of substantially reducing the workload for IT teams, allowing technicians to focus on IT systems and strategic priorities as opposed to servicing printers that might be located in opposite corners of a campus.

Cloud-based print management also translates to more up-to-date security, superior infrastructure sustainability and less waste.

Enabling seamless information sharingacross the college or university
Increasing employee productivity and collaboration
Lightening the load on IT
Saving money on print-related expenses
