Technology has come a long way toward making IT processes more streamlined, but
organizations can further reduce infrastructure costs by utilizing the cloud,
according to Y Soft

The accelerated move toward the cloud can be seen across the business world,
with the most interest in the cloud coming from a desire to reduce costs
associated with IT infrastructure.

The advantages of cloud computing are well-documented, with the technology

bringing operational efficiencies, reducing expenditure and increasing agility. As
businesses increasingly focus on technology and processes that allow them to
be more efficient, productive and secure, failure to implement cloud printing as
part of this philosophy, risks organizations being left behind.

Quocirca’s recent report on the future of the print industry – Global Print 2025 –
discovered that private, hybrid and public cloud printing is the biggest area
of digital transformation to capture the attention of the print industry and is one
of the key areas for investment between now and 2025.

James Turner, Regional Sales Manager at Y Soft, says: “The transition to a cloud-
based solution can remove some of the administrative tasks and related costs
which have traditionally been carried out by internal IT teams, saving time and
freeing up IT resources to focus on more important strategic elements. It can
also add value by eliminating or vastly reducing maintenance costs.

“Smaller organizations may not have an IT team or may outsource most of their
IT needs, so for these organizations, leveraging the cloud, especially through a
cost-effective subscription service, may give them access to tools and
technologies previously cost prohibitive. Regardless of company size, the journey
into the cloud may well be dictated by infrastructure, with footprint and costs
playing a part. With existing hardware sitting as a tangible asset and generating
costs, organizations may look to remove this and move to the cloud, renting
hardware and connecting to a third-party data center. This drive to reduce
infrastructure and infrastructure costs applies to print services too.

“Cloud printing supports the need to print documents on any printer on the
company’s network. Crucially, this also makes printing from a mobile device
straightforward, thereby saving employees time by removing the need for them
to reach a desktop before printing a document.”

James concludes, “While the need to frequently print documents isn’t quite as
prevalent as it once was, printing still makes up a crucial part of IT processes for
many companies, meaning cloud printing is essential if organizations want to
ensure that all of their IT assets are properly joined up.”
