Cellphones have become an essential piece of our digital day and age. With nearly 77% of US adults owning smartphones, smartphones have naturally affected the workplace. Employees are using these devices for numerous work functions like emailing, document reviewing, and work-related calls. Cell phones have made employees more productive, giving them on-the-go work capabilities.
With smartphones and tablets being integrated into many offices, mobile printing is an essential function that can boost productivity for your business. Mobile printing allows your staff to print directly from their phone or tablet with any authorized printer or copier.
Here are three reasons why you need to set up mobile printing:
1. Versatile and Flexible
Mobile printing makes printing essential documents accessible to your staff, regardless of where they are. Mobile printing is a lifesaver when things go array, giving you the ability to review, edit, and then print documents to your office even when you’re unable to be there physically.
2. Safe and Secure
Many companies have concerns regarding the security of mobile printing, rightfully so. Sensitive data and information is continuously passed through your business’ printer and making sure it doesn’t get into the wrong hands is essential. Luckily, many mobile printing applications have developed encrypting methods when a document is sent to print from a smartphone or tablet. This may require a specific login, password, or code, to allow the document to print on the printer, so it doesn’t sit on the tray for anyone to take.
3. BYOD
Many businesses now require employees to BYOD – “bring your own device.” Rather than investing in office equipment like desktops that won’t be used, companies are encouraging their staffs to use their smartphones, tablets, and laptops. With print networks being unpredictable in their ability to work with different devices, mobile printing gives print access to all of your employees.
