Written by Toshiba | Nov 14, 2023 1:32:00 PM

In today's fast-paced business world, finding cost-effective solutions while maintaining efficiency is a top priority for organizations of all sizes. Cloud printing services are one area where businesses can significantly reduce costs while streamlining operations. e-BRIDGE Global Print is at the forefront of this innovative technology, providing many benefits to help your business save money. In this article, we'll look at how e-BRIDGE Global Print can help your company save money.

What exactly is e-BRIDGE Global Print?

Before we get into the cost-saving benefits, let's first review this cloud-based printing solution. Toshiba's e-BRIDGE Global Print is a cutting-edge cloud-based printing solution. It provides businesses a streamlined and efficient way to manage printing requirements while lowering costs and streamlining operations.

e-BRIDGE Global Print, at its core, serves as a link between your organization's printing devices and the cloud. It allows users to send print jobs directly to cloud-connected Toshiba Multifunction Printers (MFPs) from various devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. These MFPs act as printing gateways, ensuring your documents are printed securely and efficiently.

Now that we better understand what this cutting-edge printing service entails, let's look at how it can help your organization save money.

Cost savings and predictable expenses

One of the most compelling advantages of e-BRIDGE Global Print is its ability to reduce costs effectively. Businesses frequently incur significant upfront capital expenditures for printer hardware and software in traditional setups. This financial burden is alleviated as you transition to a printing solution that fully covers your spending and produces detailed reports so you know how much you should spend monthly for printing jobs. Rather than incurring significant upfront costs, you pay a single, predictable monthly fee for your cloud-based print services.

Furthermore, the cost savings go beyond the initial investment. In traditional setups, maintaining and hosting on-site servers can be costly in terms of both operating costs and energy consumption. This innovative cloud printing solution eliminates these costs, making it a far more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for businesses.

Empowering your IT Team with reduced work burden

Traditional on-premise print solutions can be difficult to implement and manage, significantly damaging your IT team. Configuring print drivers, troubleshooting printer issues, and managing print server infrastructure can take significant time and resources. Your IT team, on the other hand, can offload these responsibilities to a third-party cloud print service provider by leveraging the e-BRIDGE Global Print system. This transition allows your IT professionals to concentrate on more strategic activities that will drive innovation and productivity within your organization.

Simple software updates

Maintaining your print infrastructure with the most recent software upgrades can be time-consuming and complex. This worry is no longer an issue with this printing service. Software upgrades are performed automatically and in real-time by cloud printing service providers. This means you'll always have access to the most recent features, enhancements, and security fixes without doing anything manually.

Improved analytics

Cloud print analytics are provided by advanced cloud print platforms such as e-BRIDGE Global Print. These analytics give businesses valuable insights into the impact of their printing activities on various levels. You can understand printing costs comprehensively and identify areas where immediate cost-cutting measures may be required by auditing cloud print activity.

Additional cost-saving benefits of e-BRIDGE Global Print

In addition to the core cost-saving advantages mentioned above, this cloud-based printing service offers several other ways to help businesses reduce expenses:

  • Embracing BYOD

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) has gained significant traction in today's digitally driven business landscape. BYOD allows employees to use their devices for work-related tasks, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. It provides greater flexibility and convenience by allowing employees to select the devices with which they are most comfortable. On the other hand, managing printing needs in a BYOD environment can be difficult, fraught with compatibility issues and the need for extensive IT support.

This is where e-BRIDGE Global Print comes in, providing a streamlined and efficient solution to BYOD printing issues. Business users can print documents from various devices using e-BRIDGE Global Print's cloud printing services. Printing is simple and user-friendly, whether it's a Windows laptop, an iPad running iOS, or an Android smartphone.

  • Flexibility and security

A winning combination of Cloud print platforms enables your employees to release print jobs anytime and from anywhere. These platforms are frequently hosted by reputable public providers such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure, ensuring user access is securely managed and authenticated. This increased flexibility and security help to create a more efficient and cost-effective printing environment.

  • Lower toner costs

Cloud printing services can also help your company save money on printing costs, including significant savings on toner. e-BRIDGE cloud printing ensures you maximize your resources while minimizing expenses by optimizing print jobs and reducing unnecessary waste.

  • Lower maintenance costs

Printer maintenance costs can add up over time. On the other hand, maintenance costs are significantly reduced with the e-BRIDGE Global Print service. Because the service is cloud-based, the service provider handles hardware maintenance and troubleshooting, relieving your organization of the financial burden of printer maintenance.

  • Environmentally friendly printing

Toshiba promotes environmentally friendly printing practices with this cloud-based printing service and financial benefits. It reduces paper waste by allowing more efficient print management, encouraging double-sided printing, and implementing other environmentally friendly practices. These sustainability efforts help make the world greener, resulting in significant long-term cost savings for your company.
