LEXINGTON, Ky., July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexmark, a global imaging and
IoT solutions leader, has again been named a leader in cloud print
services by global market insight and research firm Quocirca.
Lexmark was also named a cloud print services leader in 2022 and
2023.
The Quocirca Cloud Print Services Landscape 2024 report examined
the current key market trends, covering offerings from
manufacturers and independent software vendors (ISVs), while
drawing from Quocirca's current primary research. The report found
that in an era when hybrid work schedules are the norm,
organizations must increasingly focus on digital transformation and
the need to build a resilient IT infrastructure that is heavily
underpinned by the cloud.
Lexmark "is deepening its commitment to its cloud services
platform, enhancing scan workflow capabilities and augmenting its
reporting features with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning technologies," Quocirca Director Louella
Fernandes said. "This is bolstered by strong security measures and
a flexible implementation process."
Lexmark Cloud Services (LCS) is a single, integrated platform
that enables all of Lexmark's cloud-based offerings, including
fleet, device, print, scan and document management. According to
the report, "Lexmark has also expanded the use of AI/ML algorithms
within its Cloud Print Management and Cloud Fleet Management
functionality to enhance visualizations and add new data sets into
its customer governance portfolio, as well as incorporate new data
collection paths into its Cloud Bridge suite."
According to Quocirca, the differentiators that Lexmark brings
to the table include:
- True, multi-tenant cloud architecture. LCS was
architected from the beginning to be a true cloud platform with
multi-tenant configuration that keeps customer and partner
information segmented, secure and private.
- Cost-efficient for a distributed fleet environment.
Lexmark Cloud Print Management eliminates the need for dedicated
print servers, reducing financial and environmental costs
associated with print server procurement and maintenance. The
Lexmark Cloud Bridge connectivity suite supports a variety of print
environments, ensuring consistent support across a range of fleet
configurations – centralized, decentralized, or
USB-connected devices.
- Strong security. LCS supports all SAML 2.0 and
OIDC-compliant identity management systems, features 256-bit AES
encryption and end-to-end TLS/SSL, and requires firmware and apps
to be digitally signed.
"Quocirca's recognition shows that Lexmark is consistently going
above and beyond the industry for cloud services," said
Melanie Hudson, Lexmark senior vice
president and chief commercial officer. "Cloud will continue to
lead the way for companies serious about digital
transformation."
