Revolutionizing Print Management: Celiveo 365 Enhances Microsoft Universal Print
PaulMYork,
The digital transformation era is urging businesses to eliminate print servers and adopt more efficient, cloud-based solutions. One promising innovation in this domain is Microsoft Universal Print, a comprehensive service designed to streamline and centralize print management. However, while Universal Print lays a strong foundation, it lacks certain advanced features and the ease of managing a complex printer fleet. This is where Celiveo 365 SaaS steps in to complement and elevate the capabilities of Microsoft Universal Print.
Streamlining Printer Management with Driverless Printing
One of the significant advantages of modern print technology is driverless printing. This feature eliminates the need for installing and maintaining multiple printer drivers, thereby reducing administrative overhead and technical complications. Celiveo 365 fully supports driverless printing, enabling seamless connectivity between users and printers without the hassles of driver updates or compatibility issues. By leveraging Celiveo 365 along with Microsoft Universal Print, businesses can ensure a smooth and efficient printing experience for all users.
Advanced Features Missing in Microsoft Universal Print
While Microsoft Universal Print offers a robust framework for cloud-based print management, it falls short in several crucial areas that are vital for comprehensive printer fleet management:
Detailed Usage Analytics: Universal Print does not natively provide in-depth analytics and reporting on print usage, which is critical for cost control and resource allocation.
Advanced Security: Enhanced security features like user authentication, print job tracking, and secure release are not fully integrated.
Cost Management: The ability to allocate print costs to different departments or projects is limited.
Multi-Vendor Support: Managing a diverse printer fleet with devices from multiple vendors can be challenging without specialized tools.
Celiveo 365: Bridging the Gaps
Celiveo 365 is designed to fill these gaps by offering a range of advanced features that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Universal Print:
Comprehensive Analytics for tracking print usage, identifying patterns, and optimizing resource utilization.
Enhanced Security with advanced user authentication, print job encryption, and secure release mechanisms to protect sensitive information.
Cost Management tools that enable precise allocation of printing expenses across different departments and projects.
Multi-Vendor Support to manage a heterogeneous printer fleet without compatibility issues, providing a unified management interface.
By adopting Celiveo 365 alongside Microsoft Universal Print, organizations can achieve a more secure, efficient, and cost-effective print environment.
