Between smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers, it’s easier to stay connected than ever before. It’s because of this enhanced connectivity that more and more workers are opting to conduct business from remote locations, either on the road, or from home, while maintaining communications with clients and colleagues. Mobile technology has contributed to this trend, with services and solutions designed to help mobile workers complete everyday tasks such as printing, from anywhere they have Internet and network capabilities.
Consider these facts: 92 percent of workers want the option to print from their mobile devices, yet only 15 percent of SMBs have implemented a mobile print strategy. However, it’s not just a matter of want, but need—in the absence of an effective strategy, your business can be vulnerable to security or network breaches, issues with regulatory compliance, or suffer from unnecessarily high print and IT support costs. Still not convinced?
Here are even more great reasons to introduce mobile printing into your organization and why it’s important to have a mobile print strategy:
Convenience
There are a number of challenges to working outside the office, but printing doesn’t need to be one of them. With an effective mobile print strategy, off site and in-house workers can all utilize the same platform for continuity and convenience.
