Print Servers Are Guzzlers
Regardless of whether companies have already followed SAP's call to the cloud or not, an output management system is required for printing from SAP applications. Typically, local servers are used for the print infrastructure, which cause high administration costs and no longer meet the requirements of a modern workplace.
Serverless printing from SAP with SAP2Printix
Printix is a cloud-based SaaS platform that enables the automated migration of print infrastructures. The high degree of automation ensures an uninterrupted transition that is imperceptible to employees. With SAP2Printix, Printix becomes an output management system for SAP applications and can be integrated into SAP ECC, GTS etc. and SAP S/4HANA (Private Edition). The integration makes it possible to set up print environments, configure printers and manage print jobs with just a few clicks. The user-friendly interface makes managing and monitoring print jobs simple and efficient. The solution supports both "direct printing" and "print anywhere" scenarios directly from the SAP system.
Relief for the IT department
Now that the entire infrastructure and support is located in the cloud, there are significantly fewer print-related support requests - companies using the Printix platform report a reduction of 50 to 80 percent. This is because tools are available here that allow users to access print services independently. Printix also offers a central management console that allows printers, print queues and drivers to be configured and managed from anywhere.
Greater user-friendliness and productivity
Printix offers automatic recognition of printers with intelligent printer driver selection and automatic setup of print queues by location, group or self-administration. This ensures more efficient processes and enables convenient and flexible access to any printer from any device, regardless of operating system (Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, iOS and Android).
Manufacturer-independent
It is important to differentiate between drivers and the integration of MFD displays (multifunction printers). Printix uses automated queue management to manage all original drivers from different manufacturers. This ensures that the full range of functions of the devices can be used, e.g. for finishing. The use of MFD displays for secure printing and capture workflows is also guaranteed with Printix, regardless of the manufacturer. Printix's integrated capture functions enable scanning and transfer to various destinations. Scanned documents are processed with Omnipage Cloud OCR at no additional cost, making the documents full-text searchable.
Highest data security requirements
Documents should be automatically encrypted so that your document printing is secure and protected end-to-end, which Printix does as standard. In addition, authentication at the MFD can ensure that no printouts fall into the wrong hands.
SAP2Printix in a nutshell
SAP2Printix offers companies of all sizes - from five to 500,000 users worldwide - the opportunity to migrate their SAP print infrastructure completely to the cloud. This is done without the use of additional servers, which significantly increases the flexibility, scalability and robustness of the print management solution.
