LCS is built on three core components, each addressing a critical aspect of print management and enabling scalability of resources, from small companies to large enterprises: Fleet management. Cloud Fleet Management provides ubiquitous printer fleet visibility, remote monitoring, and centralised app and firmware deployment. This helps improve uptime and security, drive down servicing costs and ultimately enhance profitability. Print management. Cloud Print Management enhances document security with controlled print release and real-time print analytics. Secure print release, real-time analytics and flexible printing options put users in the driver’s seat. They can save paper, printing out only what they really need, gain valuable insights into their users’ printing behaviour, and have peace of mind knowing print jobs can stay within the firewall thanks to innovative hybrid technology, sending only the metadata to the cloud for analytics. Flexible new features include offline print. This technology detects cloud connectivity issues and ensures print jobs can still be complete – even if the network is down. Advanced hybrid storage accounts for every organisation’s unique requirements and allotted budget and provides the ability to store print jobs on-premise for security purposes. of their cloud journey. Hybrid cloud remains the preferred model for many of our customers, particularly those balancing legacy infrastructure with the need for modern, scalable solutions. Our recent partnership with directprint.io is a key part of this strategy, enabling us to offer a fully cloud-native platform that also supports hybrid deployments. This allows customers to transition at their own pace, without the need to overhaul existing infrastructure. The solution integrates seamlessly with our multifunction printers and supports both simple and complex multi-site environments. It’s particularly well-suited to sectors like education, where integration with platforms like Google Workspace and the ability to manage distributed print environments are essential. Ultimately, our hybrid-ready approach ensures clients don’t have to choose between innovation and control. They get the best of both worlds, cloudbased efficiency with the reassurance of on-premise compatibility, all backed by a roadmap of ongoing innovation and support.

This means that end-users don’t need to worry about making investments into an on‑prem solution now, when they’ll want to make the transition to SaaS in a few years. They can simply buy on‑prem via the same commercial model used for SaaS. Whatever a business’ needs – from scalability to security and cost-effectiveness – our solutions can accommodate them now and in the future.
