Printing and scanning from the cloud: UTAX Cloud Print and Scan now available from specialist retailers

Nuremberg, September 5, 2022 - With UTAX Cloud Print and Scan, UTAX is launching a new software solution that enables small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to print and scan from anywhere via the cloud. This offers maximum security: jobs are managed centrally in the cloud and processed in encrypted form. The browser-based application can also be integrated into your own IT environment without a local server and without additional hardware investments. It is therefore a cost-effective solution that UTAX retail partners can use to easily implement modern document processes for customers in times of mobile working and pave the way to the cloud. 30-day trial licenses are now available free of charge for specialist retail partners via UTAX.

For UTAX, as a partner to specialist retailers for integrated document solutions, the new cloud offering is a logical extension of its own portfolio: "The new software solution is the first product in the UTAX cloud strategy to offer full functionality from the cloud," says Daniel Gleixner, Sales Director UTAX Domestic. "Managed services are increasingly moving to the cloud. With UTAX Cloud Print and Scan, our sales partners now have a modern and low-threshold cloud offering for document processes in the SME sector to meet the constantly growing demand in this area."

The demand for cloud solutions is also due to the ongoing trend towards hybrid working. Switching between working from home, the office and on the move requires documents to be accessible from any location. This is another reason why more and more companies are using cloud services. The security factor plays a decisive role here. As Olaf Stammer, Manager Solution and Service Portfolio Management at UTAX, emphasizes, "UTAX Cloud Print and Scan offers the highest security standards from data encryption to output." Print and scan jobs are managed centrally in the cloud and processed in encrypted form. Print and scan management complies with the security standards of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With the so-called Follow2Print feature, printing and scanning processes are only activated once employees have authenticated themselves at the multifunctional system (MFP) reader using a PIN, password or chip card.

UTAX Cloud Print and Scan is intuitive to use and can be configured individually. Both users and administrators can access all functions from anywhere via the browser application. MFPs can be integrated directly in the portal without any major implementation effort or links to common cloud storage can be created - for example to Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive or Box. Integration into SharePoint Online and Azure Active Directory is also possible.

A device license is required for each device that is to be integrated into UTAX Cloud Print and Scan. UTAX sales partners can now request a free 30-day trial license for customer projects from their regional sales department. Partner licenses for their own use are also available on request. Detailed information about the product and contact details can be found on the UTAX Cloud Print and Scan website.
