There’s no getting away from the fact that print providers are operating in a challenging market – think declining print volumes, hardware commoditization, and shrinking margins. Now more than ever, it’s key to find new ways to secure new recurring revenue and introduce innovative solutions that genuinely add customer value.
That’s why we launched directprint.io RED – our brand new channel-exclusive cloud print management and monitoring offering.
With directprint.io RED, we are empowering print and IT resellers to drive revenue and profit as they help customers leverage all of the benefits of migrating print to the cloud. We have built on the rich feature-set of our core directprint.io SaaS serverless print management solution and added advanced printer monitoring (SNMP) capabilities and alerts for printer status, device health, paper levels, volumes, toner levels, and more.
Time to ditch the print server
Among the many benefits of a cloud-based print infrastructure is the ability to eliminate on-premise print servers. Here at directprint.io, we firmly believe that managing print via an on-premise server-based infrastructure has had its day. Keeping on top of print server-related risk and managing a constant stream of security updates and patches is no mean feat. And even then, there’s no guarantees. You only have to think back to the Windows PrintNightmare.
Now, with Microsoft Windows Server 2012/R2 scheduled to reach end of life in October 2023, users will no longer receive server security updates or patches, which significantly increases risk – meaning there’s never been a better time to introduce your customers to the benefits of a serverless cloud print management solution.
Migrate print to the cloud
directprint.io RED is a secure serverless print management and monitoring platform that provides customers with access to fast and reliable printing from any device or location, and streamlines print management from end-to-end.
With directprint.io RED, you can stand out from the crowd with a feature-rich, easy to deploy and manage solution that will modernize your customers’ print infrastructure, take the pain out of print, improve their security posture and save them money to boot.
Vendor-agnostic print management and monitoring
