Overview
Xerox® Workplace Cloud delivers authentication, print management, cost control and mobility workflows. This platform is ideal for accounts that want to reduce local network infrastructure or manage printers across multiple locations and networks. It is easy to set up and use, and because it is hosted in the cloud, all updates and patches are managed by Xerox. This frees up your IT resources, while maintaining the maximum security aspects you would expect.
Xerox® Workplace Solutions
Our comprehensive print management solution helps connect your team’s technology seamlessly—while providing the security, access control and usage tracking that organizations need. Xerox Workplace Solutions offers the choice of two hosting options.
- Your Server, On Your Site: Xerox® Workplace Suite provides on-site server-based print management and mobile access to your fleet of printers.
- Simple Setup, Cloud Administration: Xerox® Workplace Cloud, hosted in Microsoft Azure, provides the additional benefit of a wider range of mobile workflows, making it easier to print from any device from any network.
Key Features
Authentication and Access Control
Authentication options are compatible with a wide range of industry-standard secure readers and cards. Chose card, cardless, or even mobile device-based authentication using NFC, the Xerox® Print Portal App and a QR code to unlock devices. Use essential print rules to take control of costs and restrict access to devices/features at the user/group level.
Single sign-on (SSO) capability to any SSO enabled service on your printer — such as cloud connector apps and more. Conveniently authenticate at the printer once with your card badge, mobile device or credentials and then securely access all your MFP SSO enabled apps without having to perform any additional, time consuming log-in steps.
Mobile Printing
Make printing from mobile devices flexible and easy. Send print jobs from Windows OS devices, Google Chromebooks, Mac OS, Linux, and mobile app printing for iOS, Android and Windows Surface tablets. With a traditional pull printing workflow, send jobs to a single queue for release and retrieve when ready.
Accounting, Reporting, and Rules
Administrators can closely monitor printing across the organization with consolidated fleet reporting and accounting capabilities. An at-a-glance dashboard provides rapid insights into print activity and status. The ability to see top users by departments or usage mode helps administrators take control of costs.
Your Challenges
Managing an ever-demanding workforce has plenty of headaches to deal with, and sometimes printer and document security is low on the priority list.
As printers and multifunction printers become smarter and better connected to the systems your business uses, you need a better, low touch way of bringing this under control. You need a simple, yet effective ways to allow only authorized users to access only the systems they have permissions, all the while keeping the user experience simple.
Key Challenges
Security
- How do you control and track which users can copy, print, or even scan documents outside of your network?
- How can you step up security without introducing difficult, time consuming steps to log in to your printer and MFP apps?
Print Management - Cost Control
- How do you ensure sensitive documents aren’t printed to the output tray of your shared printer for other users to view?
- You will want to keep on top of your printing costs by running simple reports across your printers to identify where your users are printing to and where your high usage costs lie.
- Once you understand printer usage, you may want to put print rules in place to ensure your users are following your print guidelines.
Print Management - Cost Control
- As your business is moving toward a more mobile workforce, you need to make sure they remain productive and can print customer facing documents wherever they are.
- Companies need solutions that are both user and IT friendly. This includes the ability to print from any device from any remote network location to any brand of printer.
