Written by Toshiba | Nov 9, 2023 1:32:00 PM

In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern business, how we approach printing services has undergone a significant transformation. Gone are the days when printing was confined to a single office or location. Today, businesses require flexible, secure, and efficient printing solutions that can adapt to the dynamic needs of a modern workforce. Enter e-BRIDGE Global Print – an innovative cloud-based printing solution that ensures the security and reliability of your print jobs and points the way forward for the future of printing services.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore how this cloud-based printing solution can empower your business with its cutting-edge features, the benefits it brings to the table, and why it represents the future of printing.

The changing landscape of printing services

The way we work has transformed dramatically in recent years. Traditional office setups are giving way to remote work arrangements, and professionals are increasingly mobile, requiring access to printing services from virtually anywhere. A unified printing solution that transcends physical limitations becomes indispensable in this context.

e-BRIDGE Global Print addresses this challenge head-on. It offers effortless printing across various devices and locations, all while ensuring the utmost security for your valuable documents.

  1. Effortless cloud connectivity
    One of the standout features of this printing solution is its ability to connect to the cloud seamlessly. In today's diverse work environments, this feature is a game-changer. You can send print jobs to the cloud easily, whether working from your office, home, or a remote location.

    Imagine this scenario: you're on a business trip and must print an important presentation for a client meeting. With this advanced cloud printing solution, you can effortlessly dispatch the printing task to the cloud from your hotel room and securely retrieve it using a cloud-connected Toshiba Multifunction Printer (MFP) at the client's office. It's printing made simple, no matter where you are.

  2. Uncompromising security
    In today's digital age, security is paramount. e-BRIDGE Global Print is designed to provide robust security measures to protect your sensitive information.

    Authentication is a critical aspect of security, and the cloud-based printing service uses modern OAUTH2 standards to log in users through supported third-party authentication providers like Microsoft Identity Platform or Google Identity. This means that user identities are verified by their chosen provider, ensuring that usernames and passwords are not stored within the e-BRIDGE Global Print system but are managed by trusted giants like Google or Microsoft.

    Moreover, the product offers secure access to your Toshiba Multifunction Printer (MFP) using an ID card or PIN, adding an extra layer of protection. You can release your print assignments conveniently and safely, knowing your documents are in good hands.

  3. Real-time print monitoring
    Efficient management of print jobs is essential for businesses aiming to optimize productivity and control costs. The software excels in this regard by providing real-time print monitoring capabilities.

    You can effortlessly monitor and review printing activities in real time through the cloud-based platform. Accessing MFP usage reports provides valuable insights into productivity, cost savings, and other relevant metrics. This feature empowers your organization to make informed decisions and streamline printing processes.

  4. Liberating IT Departments
    In traditional network-centric printing models, IT departments often oversee print drivers and on-site print servers. This diverts their attention from higher-priority tasks.

    With the cloud-based approach, IT departments are liberated from these responsibilities. They can redirect their focus towards strategic initiatives, knowing that the comprehensive authentication safeguards will protect data during printing.

  5. Collaboration Reinvented
    In today's business landscape, collaboration is at the heart of success. Enhanced teamwork thrives when supported by tangible printed resources. The remote printing capabilities simplify generating essential materials from any location. This enables seamless collaboration that leads to exceptional collective achievements.

  6. Sustainable Printing Practices
    As environmental concerns continue to grow, businesses are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. Toshiba is committed to environmental responsibility. Ensuring that this cloud-based printing service enables businesses to reduce unnecessary printing through real-time monitoring and analytics helps minimize paper and energy waste.

    Moreover, the cloud-based nature of this printing service reduces the need for physical infrastructure, such as on-site print servers, which can consume significant energy and resources. This contributes to cost savings and aligns with the global push for sustainability.

  7. Integration with Emerging Technologies
    The future of printing is closely tied to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and automation. e-BRIDGE Global Print is designed to seamlessly integrate with these technologies, providing businesses with advanced capabilities.

    For instance, AI-powered print analytics can provide deeper insights into printing habits, enabling businesses to optimize their print workflows further. IoT-connected printers can self-monitor and order supplies when needed, reducing downtime and manual interventions. Automation can streamline document routing and processing, improving overall efficiency.

    By embracing these emerging technologies, this cloud-based printing service is future-proofing your printing needs and enhancing your business's overall productivity and competitiveness.
