Print Platform Cloud Service

Easily remove servers and send print to the cloud.

Managed print services
 

By 2020, greater cloud spending for IT and cloud services will exceed $500 billion globally.*

Managing various on-premises print management systems is a challenge for most IT departments. You're constantly responding to service calls, as well as installing updates and patches. You take on the burden and cost of co-managing print services — whether it be the hardware, software or service delivery. This constant strain on your IT department may have forced you to increase headcount and divert resources away from strategic initiatives.

Many companies question whether they should move their print management to the cloud. Read this eBook to learn about the five key factors that IT decision makers should consider before making this move.

flexibility with the cloud

Your IT department needs the flexibility to easily adapt to your changing business needs. Leveraging Print Platform Cloud Service gives your IT staff more time to focus on your business challenges and drive business value for your organization. Our offering can also reduce costs associated with infrastructure, support, administration and management by virtually eliminating the servers associated with your print and fax infrastructure.

From the cloud, Print Platform Cloud Service lets you take a proactive approach to your always-on goals by staying on top of the most advanced software solutions and security protocols with automatic updates.

You also get out-of-the-box security features that help to decrease risks of compromising your proprietary information, including:

  • Secure Print Release
  • Swipe card or pin authentication
  • Device data encryption
  • Data Overwrite Security System (DOSS) that reduces the risk of information theft by overwriting latent data on your devices' hard drives

Plus, Print Platform Cloud Service utilizes a highly secured Microsoft® Azure data center that is audited regularly and meets a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards, such as ISO 27001, SOC 1 and SOC 2. And as an additional layer of security, Ricoh annually conducts third-party penetration testing on the Print Platform Cloud Service software and infrastructure. Empower your IT staff by eliminating the headache of legacy systems, and reducing the need to field help-desk calls and send techs out to upload printer drivers — shift these responsibilities to Ricoh with Print Platform Cloud Service.

 
 

Standardize printing processes company-wide

 

Provide a consistent user experience across MFPs, locations and devices.

 
Print Platform Cloud Service works across multiple environments and locations throughout your organization, and no matter where users are when printing or scanning, they get a consistent user experience. Employees who use passcodes or ID cards to release print jobs at Ricoh multifunction printers (MFPs) in your main office will do the same at devices in your other offices when traveling throughout the U.S. — providing them with a simple, uniform experience when authenticating print jobs to help protect documents.

Integrate mobile print into your print and imaging infrastructure, making it easy for workers to use smartphones, tablets or laptops to send work-related print jobs to the cloud or share information — saving time and helping to increase overall productivity.

Our monitoring capability includes high visibility into usage across your organization — helping you find more ways to improve cost accounting by tracking scanned documents and output. This also helps us to provide you with the actionable insights you need to further optimize print processes and keep your workforce working smarter, faster and more efficiently.
