In the world of mobile, cloud printing has fast become a convenient way to manage print jobs from smartphones and tablets. Trends such as the increase in remote work and co-working hubs have given rise to mobile-based solutions across the globe. Although many cloud/hybrid cloud printing environments are web-based, they can also extend to mobile devices that add even more accessibility.
Cloud Printing for Mobile
Some of the things factoring into the rise of cloud printing for mobile include the following:
Remote work.
Remote work is not going anywhere anytime soon. If anything, the need for flexible, remote working solutions is going to grow. Companies are looking at new ways to work off-site. For printing, this can lead to many challenges. By using the cloud for printing, it becomes far easier for employees to print from multiple devices without compatibility or accessibility issues. Through rules-based alerts, devices and users can be limited and monitored. Alerts can be sent when device and user limits or set or if print job totals are met.
Integration.
A major benefit of cloud and hybrid cloud solutions is that printing can be done from anywhere in the world. Google integration allows printing to be done from Android and iOS devices – smartphones and tablets. Tools such as Follow Me printing make it even easier to integrate mobile printing. This feature allows documents to be released through devices, using a PIN.
Security.
One concern that many have when it comes to mobile printing is the security aspect. Tools such as Print Director provide a high level of security, with the help of rules-based printing and Follow Me printing. Just as it is possible to restrict employee printing when using home computers, restrictions and management can be done on mobile devices. Encryption and other security assurances offered through device printing add full peace of mind.
