Organizations face compliance and security risks when remote workers print using personal or BYOP printers. To address this, a Managed Print Services (MPS) provider can offer small, business-ready printers for home use, implement secure printers with multi-layered defenses, and enforce automatic security policies. This helps track print activity and mitigate data loss, as 30% of surveyed organizations reported experiencing data loss due to insecure printing practices.

With the shift to hybrid work, the urgency to transition to cloud-based workflows has increased significantly. A Managed Print Services provider can facilitate this by enabling the automatic creation of searchable and editable documents from prints and scans, ensuring that organizations can seamlessly integrate paper and digital workflows. Notably, 70% of IT decision-makers acknowledge the need for more cloud-based workflows.

To minimize the carbon impact of print activities, organizations can partner with a Managed Print Services provider that offers cloud-enabled printing, workflow automation, and document management solutions. Additionally, implementing fleet optimization strategies can help reduce carbon emissions and improve resource efficiency. It's important to note that 45% of remote workers do not utilize eco settings when printing from home, highlighting the need for effective management of print resources.
