Fast and nimble are what is expected from today's business user. Further, companies are transitioning from the traditional way of purchasing individual items from various dealers to using an MPS and strengthening global central purchasing. To address this changing purchase behavior, Samsung has created a task force team exclusively for strengthening the support of global dealership and MPS offerings.IoT means more data and more connections, which means more opportunity to get on and off the enterprise environments; this is where the printing industry excels. With the expansion of inter-device connectivity through the Internet, printing firms are extending features such as printing management through user/usage analysis and device analysis and remote control through cloud technology. With our Android-based Smart UX Center, Samsung has already secured connectivity and expandability with other IT devices to enable not just printing of documents, but also creating, editing, and sharing of information in the office environment as well as managing print devices as mobile devices with any MDM enterprise software or tools. By providing a variety of workflow solutions through analysis of product usage information with Samsung's cloud platform (Samsung Cloud Print), Samsung will proactively meet the needs of the future work environment that is transforming with IoT.MPS Technologies and Processes the Print Infrastructure is in Need of Right NowToday, a mobile phone can serve as the interface to any/all print devices, from smart copiers to basic MFPs. A user can walk up to their home MFP, office printer or a central copier in the office and control it with their phone in a secure and personal way. They're able to print/scan according to their personal preferences, regardless of environment. The printing industry is evolving from offering document printing-centered services to specialized solutions to meet the particular needs of businesses and to improve workflow. It is no longer sufficient to differentiate with hardware technology alone, so dealers will need to work with vendors to adapt to these changing business requirements. For example, businesses in financial services require secure mobile printing that also allows for digital document handling. In education, printers are starting to be used as digital hubs, promoting collaboration and document sharing. Teachers and students can easily share, scan and print from any mobile device with no connection to a PC. In healthcare, providers and staff need the flexibility to print from their mobile devices, while maintaining secure authentication and protecting patient data. More professionals are working outside of the office and looking for technology that supports an increasingly mobile work environment. As such, Samsung is leveraging our expertise for mobile workers with convenient mobile printing solutions that extend beyond printer hardware. Samsung is a mobile first printing company, offering capabilities that support printing needs where today's business users are, whether that's in the office or on the road. For example, Samsung offers customers the ability to download the Samsung Mobile Print App to wirelessly print, copy, fax, and scan to take full advantage of their printer's capabilities using their mobile device.
