3 Ways Samsung Printing Solutions Can Help Save on IT Costs

IT managers are always looking for ways to reduce expenses, and they typically look to new technologies to cut costs without adding burden. This is true for enterprises across the industry spectrum, for businesses large and small. Samsung is seeking to meet these needs with Samsung Printing Solutions. Here are three ways that smarter, faster and more reliable printing solutions can help businesses save on IT costs.

Embrace BYOD Without Worry

Samsung’s mobile printing solutions make workflows smoother than ever. Being able to print from anywhere while on-the-go can save time and boost productivity, which means increased revenue and reduced costs.

One of the concerns that arise from the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend is the increased risk of data breaches. However, Samsung minimizes that risk with NFC (Near Field Communication)-based secure authentication and pull printing features. Installing NFC printing technology on a multi-functional printer (MFP) allows for secure authentication of documents on top of the usual mobility benefits that NFC technology brings, without having to purchase an ID card reader. This mitigates potential document theft and keeps documents from getting mixed up with others. Secure pull printing can even help reduce paper and toner waste.

Leverage Customizable Solutions for Business

Thanks to Samsung’s unique and flexible eXtensible Open Architecture (XOA), developers can build customized printing solutions that fit business needs, while also giving users access to a growing range of solutions that can streamline business processes even further.

For instance, King’s College London needed an integrated printing solution to service its 30,000 students and faculty. What’s more, it wanted a fleet of printers that could be integrated with PaperCut, its existing third-party solution used for important functions such as student access card authentication. So the university adopted a fleet of MultiXpress C9352NA printers equipped with XOA, which could run that software without a problem.
Customized solutions help companies reduce IT costs while increasing productivity with the most up-to-date printing solutions. And if business needs change, an XOA-based Samsung MFP can be easily and cost-effectively reconfigured and upgraded accordingly, which lets users avoid expensive outlays for new hardware.

Manage Printing Costs More Efficiently

A key feature of Samsung Business Core™ Printing Solutions is the Usage Tracker. IT managers can use it to monitor usage and plan IT budgets accordingly. They can lower costs by tracking how the machines are used by individuals on the network, and even receive e-mail notifications with cost forecasting based on usage breakdowns for how much printing, scanning, copying and faxing is being done in the office. These costs can add up quickly but tend to be hidden. Intuitive solutions like the Usage Tracker arm managers with the tools they need to budget smartly.
