Regardless of whether companies have already followed SAP's call to move to the cloud or not, an output management system is required for printing from SAP applications. Local servers are typically used for the print infrastructure, which require a high level of administration 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 level of automation ensures a seamless transition that is unnoticeable for 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 printing environments, configure printers, and manage print jobs with just a few clicks. The user-friendly interface makes managing and monitoring print jobs easy and efficient. The solution supports both "direct printing" and "print anywhere" scenarios directly from the SAP system.
Reduces the burden on the IT department
With all infrastructure and support located in the cloud, there are significantly fewer print-related support requests - companies that use the Printix platform report a decrease of 50 to 80 percent. This is because tools are available that allow users to access print services independently. In addition, Printix offers a central management console that can be used to configure and manage printers, print queues, and drivers from anywhere.
Improved user experience and productivity
Printix offers automatic detection of printers with intelligent printer driver selection as well as automatic setup of print queues by location, group, or self-management. This ensures more efficient processes and enables convenient and flexible access to any printer from any device, regardless of the operating system (Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android).
Manufacturer Agnostic
It is important to distinguish between drivers and the integration of MFD displays (multifunction printers). With automated queue management, Printix manages all original drivers from different manufacturers. This ensures that the full range of functions of the devices, e.g. for finishing, can be used. The use of MFD displays for secure printing and workflow capture 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 fully text searchable.
Secure and Compliant Printing
Documents should be automatically encrypted so that your document printing is end-to-end safe and secure; Printix takes care of this as standard. In addition, authentication on the MFD can ensure that no printouts fall into the wrong hands.
SAP2Printix offers companies of all sizes - from five to 500,000 users worldwide - the opportunity to fully migrate their SAP printing infrastructure 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.
