Is Mobile Printing Right for Your Business?

On-Demand Printing and Agility

Mobile employees need access to business documents, but "read-only" access isn’t enough. Mobile team members need to be agile: able to create, use, and share notes, invoices, and fact sheets. Mobile printing eliminates cumbersome workarounds (like emailing documents to yourself or a client) and can even allow guests and customers to print.

Considerations:

• Security — Passwords, ID cards, and two-factor authentication can all be leveraged in mobile printing solutions to prevent data loss. Of course, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies are mandatory.

• Costs — Mobile printing can reduce hardware expenses by freeing your team to use smartphones and tablets instead of costly laptop computers. Ensure central management—like an MPS partner—oversees your mobile printing solution.

• Ease of Use — Depending on your needs, you may prefer email-to-printer, browser-based solutions, independent applications, or MPS tools to get your documents from device to paper.

• Features — Your solution can include functionalities like guest printing and eco-friendly rules, or your devices can be set up to keep your options simple.

Why it’s Time to Incorporate Mobile Printing

With a new reliance on mobile devices to accomplish work tasks comes a necessity to print on-the-go. Bringing a flash drive to a meeting and asking to use a colleague’s printer—or worse, emailing documents to a client and asking them to print them for you—seems antiquated and can challenge the credibility of your company in the eyes of your partners and competitors. 

Consider a few ways mobile printing can change the way you work: 

•  Print documents directly from your mobile device to any networked printer (like at a hotel or airport business center)

•  Get a jumpstart on tomorrow’s seminar by printing fifteen copies of your 50-page handout during off-hours, so they are ready to go in the morning

•  Print receipts directly to your office during business trips for easy reimbursement 

•  Print a recently updated proposal minutes before you’re due to present it

The practical uses for mobile printing are boundless. But, it is important to view mobile printing not as a luxury, but as a necessity. As mobile computing surpasses traditional PC computing, your need to print on-the-go will become increasingly crucial to stay viable in today’s competitive market.
