Written by Toshiba | Jun 13, 2024 7:36:28 AM

As organisations increasingly adopt remote and hybrid work models, the need for reliable and secure printing solutions is more pressing than ever. Cloud print management offers a seamless and efficient way to handle printing tasks from any location, ensuring that your employees can maintain productivity no matter where they are. Toshiba’s e-BRIDGE Global Print provides is a cloud printing solution that simplifies and secures the printing process. Here are the key benefits of adopting cloud print management for your organisation.

Effortless Printing, Anywhere, Anytime

Experience the convenience of easy printing across various devices and locations through e-BRIDGE Global Print. With cloud printing, your documents are effortlessly transmitted and securely delivered to compatible devices. This capability allows you to accomplish your printing tasks wherever your current workspace may be, making it an ideal solution for remote and hybrid work environments.

Enhanced Flexibility and Accessibility

e-BRIDGE Global Print allows you to print from virtually anywhere, providing the flexibility the modern work environment demands. Whether employees are working from home, in the office, or on the go, they can transmit print jobs to the cloud and retrieve them using cloud-connected Toshiba Multifunction Printers (MFPs). This level of accessibility boosts productivity by allowing employees to focus on their tasks without worrying about printing logistics.

Top-Level Security Compliance

Security is a top concern for any organisation, especially when dealing with sensitive documents. e-BRIDGE Global Print brings top-level security compliance by requiring users to log in through their Google Workspace™ or Microsoft 365® accounts. This verification process provides swift and secure cloud printing access, protecting your data from unauthorised access and potential breaches.

Efficient Document Retrieval

With e-BRIDGE Global Print, retrieving documents is both convenient and secure. Employees can access their Toshiba Multifunction Printer (MFP) using an ID card or PIN to safely release their print assignments. This secure retrieval process ensures that confidential documents are only accessed by the right individuals.

Valuable Productivity and Cost Insights

One significant advantage of cloud print management is the ability to monitor and review printing activities in real time. e-BRIDGE Global Print provides detailed MFP usage reports, offering valuable insights into productivity, cost savings, and other relevant metrics. This information helps your organisation to make informed decisions about its printing needs, meaning a more optimised and cost-effective use of resources.

Reduced IT Burden

Traditional network-centric printing models require IT departments to manage print drivers and on-site print servers, which can be time-consuming and a burden on resources. Cloud print solutions like e-BRIDGE Global Print free your IT staff to focus on higher-priority tasks. This shift helps overall efficiency but also reduces operational costs associated with traditional, more complex print infrastructures.

Expert Support and Easy Integration

Starting your journey with cloud print management is straightforward with the support of Toshiba’s expert team. e-BRIDGE Global Print ensures that your organisation can quickly and easily transition to cloud-based printing. The dedicated support team is always on hand to address any queries and to ensure a smooth and hassle-free integration process.

Secure Data Management

Data security is a critical component of cloud print management. e-BRIDGE Global Print uses modern OAUTH2 standards to authenticate users through third-party providers like Microsoft® and Google Identity. This method ensures that user credentials are managed securely and not stored within the e-BRIDGE system, reducing the risk of data breaches.

Additionally, the system’s cloud infrastructure, hosted on Microsoft® Azure® and Amazon Web Services™, ensures that user and device data is securely processed and stored. This setup complies with data privacy regulations while maintaining the accuracy and security of reporting data.

Conclusion

Adopting cloud print management through Toshiba’s e-BRIDGE Global Print brings numerous benefits that can transform your organisation’s printing processes. From enhanced flexibility and security to valuable productivity insights and reduced IT burdens, cloud printing provides a comprehensive solution for your modern business needs.
