In an era where digital transformation is reshaping the workplace, traditional print servers often act as a bottleneck. As organizations look to streamline their IT infrastructure and optimize operations, the move to eliminate print servers has gained substantial momentum. Enter Microsoft Universal Print and Celiveo 365 SaaS, a powerful combination designed to modernize and simplify print management.
Eliminate Print Servers: A Modern-Day Necessity
Traditional print servers have several drawbacks, including maintenance overheads, security vulnerabilities, and scalability issues. Successfully moving away from print servers to a cloud-based solution provides multiple benefits. Microsoft Universal Print offers a promising starting point by abstracting the complexities of local print server setup, but it can be significantly enhanced with Celiveo 365.
Why Microsoft Universal Print Alone Isn’t Enough
Driverless printing is a key feature of Microsoft Universal Print, allowing users to print from any device without installing specific drivers. While this improves accessibility, Universal Print has limitations that cannot be overlooked.
For example, Microsoft Universal Print lacks some advanced features crucial for large organizations, such as secure pull printing, detailed print job tracking, and advanced usage analytics. Additionally, effective printer fleet management remains a challenge for most IT administrators.
