Remote working has created much flexibility in employees lives so that they can accommodate their home life with their work life. Even though we were all forced into lockdown due to the pandemic, people have recognised the benefits of working remotely.

However, now we are working in a hybrid environment, so your teams need access to print and mobile printing is one functionality that your teams need to be able to perform their roles effectively.
So, consider these questions? Can your employees send orders directly to your office printers? Are the multifunctional devices capable of mobile printing?
As work life has become more complicated with teams in either in the office or working remotely and businesses have had to adapt to the fact that our teams are mobile so therefore solutions to accommodate this has meant the implementation of seamless capabilities and mobile printing is essential.

However, by not providing your teams with workflow technology that can support remote working, then that creates only a larger security threat to your business and mobile printing capabilities is just one solution that will support your business operations.
