Printer Fleet Management: Best Practices for Optimizing Your Output Devices

The Challenge

For global enterprise companies with thousands of employees across multiple locations, managing the setup, configuration, management, and maintenance of corporate output devices such as multi-function devices (MFPs), laser printers, and thermal inkjet printers is a daunting and ever-changing process.

Additionally, the selection and installation of multiple printer drivers on departmental servers and individual user workstations, for each printer make and model, adds increased complexity to this vital function. Together, these are a critically important process to help ensure that the distribution, security, and integrity of corporate documents and information is maintained.

The Goal

Reducing the complexity and high costs normally associated with printer fleet management is key for any large scale organization, allowing both IT and departmental stakeholders to focus on core business processes that drive innovation, shorten cycle times, and positively impact top and bottom-line profitability.

Best Practices

Typically, developing corporate IT best practices involves the adoption of certain industry standards, committing to long-term vendor agreements, and remaining within budgetary guidelines. Yet, if we step outside of the typical requirements of printer fleet management, we can see new options for innovation and improvement – to adopt newer, more easily implemented best practices.

For example, what if you could:

• Simplify printer fleet management using an application and a small set of fully functional, easy-to-implement universal printer drivers?
• Have at-a-glance, real-time visibility into printer and print job status across your enterprise?
• Set up printer- and user-level document security quickly and easily?
• Easily manage and monitor print jobs while supporting multiple file formats?
