Why mobile printing supports your remote working teams
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, what does this mean for printing? When people were locked down the first time many of us were without the capacity to print and with the inability to go to the office to print, many businesses were left stranded without that functionality. 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. Before the pandemic, businesses were concerned that mobiles devices caused a security concern, in particularly if your teams are allowed to bring their own devices. 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. So how can Mobile Printing support your remote teams?
- Mobile printing supports your customer service strategy
If your business supports their clients regularly has a particular need for mobile printing. You may have teams that personally interface with your clients by providing an individual service, therefore meaning if you tie these teams to a desktop function, this will impede the service they are able to offer. Mobile printing will keep them flexible.
- Mobile printing can reduce costs
Mobile printing capabilities is not expensive. In fact, most businesses will be able to cope implementing this solution for their teams. However, the benefit of your teams knowing they can paint whilst being mobile means that in the office you can consolidate your printers or multifunctional devices so that your overall costs are reduced. These benefits can be further accentuated if you have a managed print provider who can examine the costs you can save on toner, consumption of paper and access the devices you really need.
- Flexibility in your teams
Flexibility is key in the workplace right now. Your teams need that secure channel for printing important documents and keeping your workflows seamless and mobile printing means they will be able to react and respond quicker. Sales teams can react and have documents printed quickly and accounts teams can print invoices wherever whenever they are needed.
- Your business will thrive!
If your teams are restricted to the office or do not have the solutions they need when working remotely, then ultimately your whole business is restricted. 60% of employees use apps for work related tasks regardless of the company policy. So, if your remote teams do not have the solutions to be printing whilst mobile then you are impacting on the capacity of your business to thrive. However, if mobile printing is there as a facility, then employees can connect to a network-enabled printer through secure Wi-Fi and easily print anywhere securely! Thus, speeding any of their processes that need a printer. Most printers or multifunctional devices offer mobile printing and the security your business needs.

By Stephen Cook From 11th September 2026, a new EU regulation starts changing how connected products and software are built, sold and supported – and UK businesses trading into Europe are firmly in scope [1] [2].

The Hidden Costs of Printing: How Managed Print Services Reduce Business Waste
Introduction For many organisations, printing is viewed as a routine operational expense. Printers are purchased, toner is replaced when needed, and documents continue to flow through the business without much scrutiny. However, the true cost of printing extends far beyond paper and ink. Unmanaged print environments often create hidden expenses through inefficient device usage, excessive energy consumption, IT support demands, security risks, and employee downtime. These costs can accumulate significantly over time, impacting productivity and profitability. This is particularly relevant as businesses seek to optimise operations, reduce waste, and improve sustainability while controlling expenditure. Whether…
Can Your Business Actually Recover? The Operational Resilience Question Most SMEs Cannot Answer
Operational resilience is not a technology problem. It is a business problem. And until boards and leadership teams own it, no amount of IT investment will be enough. The Gap Between Confidence and Reality Most organisations believe they are more resilient than they are. The backups are running. The antivirus is licensed. The IT team knows what they are doing. That confidence, in our experience, rarely survives first contact with an actual incident. The question is not whether your systems are protected. The question is whether your business can keep delivering its most important services…

These organisations are not only prime targets for cyber attackers, they are also subject to strict regulatory, data protection and governance obligations. That’s why the partnership between Sophos…
Why Cyber Resilience Can’t Be Audited Once a Year: Lessons from the UK Cyber Action Plan
Moving from box‑ticking compliance to real‑world cyber readiness Written by Richard Puckey Cyber security has a confidence problem For years, many organisations have taken comfort in annual cyber audits, certifications and compliance checklists. Pass the audit, tick the box and move on. On paper, everything looks secure. The problem? Cyber threats don’t operate on an annual cycle. The UK’s Cyber Action Plan is a clear signal that this approach is no longer enough. It challenges businesses to rethink cyber security not as a periodic compliance exercise, but as a living, breathing capability and culture that must stand up…
