Depending on whether it is a private, public or hybrid model, cloud print management shifts print management tasks to the cloud and eliminates or reduces reliance on local print servers. The emergence of cloud-based print managementĬloud print platforms and services are emerging as a way of minimising the cost, lowering the burden and improving the efficiency of operating an on-premise print infrastructure.
#Cloud managed printing driver#
On top of this, tasks such as driver installation, device configuration, firmware updates and app deployment can create a significant IT burden on already stretched IT resources. An average organisation has 3 print servers, so costing close to £6,000 in CapEx/provisioning, followed by £4,500 in OpEx costs per annum. According to Quocirca’s Cloud Print Services Study, on average, the initial cost to an organisation of acquiring and provisioning a print server amounts to approximately £1,900, with ongoing running costs of around £1,500 per year.

In particular, print servers are expensive to acquire, maintain and upgrade and often lack central management. Traditional on-premise print management is complex and costly, often requiring multiple servers to manage print job submission, authentication, accounting and device monitoring. The challenges of traditional on-premise print infrastructure Today, most cloud print service offerings encompass a range of private, public and hybrid cloud options to address the varying multi-cloud needs of customers as they transition from an on-premise to a cloud model. This is creating opportunities for MPS providers to deliver cloud-based service offerings that overcome the challenges of traditional on-premise print management. The promise of higher levels of availability, on-demand capacity, low-cost storage and a broad digital ecosystem is accelerating cloud adoption. The report highlights the key offerings from manufacturers and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in the market and discusses the potential for cloud to disrupt the traditional model of procuring and managing the print infrastructure.
