We’ve been hearing about the paperless office for years but the office printer isn’t going anywhere soon. It’s just changing to adapt to life in the digital age.
That’s the prediction of Gareth Brenchley, Managing Director at managed business services company Itec Cape Town, who says that even in an age of sustainability, smart mobile working and digital collaboration, most companies still have print-reliant workplaces, and spend tens of thousands of rands a year on print.
“Businesses are still extremely reliant on printing for their business processes, but the print environment has grown up. The printer isn’t just a ‘dumb device’ in the corner of the office: it’s become part of a connected, intelligent network, with modern multifunctional printers (MFPs) giving users new abilities to digitise their documents and manage their information,” says Brenchley.
