We’ve taken all of the rich feature-set that our direct SaaS solution offers and added Sharp OSA for authentication and pull-printing. We’ve also added advanced printer monitoring capabilities, to help partners drive revenue and profit as they help customers leverage all of the benefits of migrating print to the cloud.

Cloudification of print
The cloudification of print is an integral part of organizations’ digital workspace strategies. An overwhelming majority (93.1%), of respondents to the Digital Workspace Ecosystem Alliance (DWEA) 2023 ‘State of the Digital Workspace’ survey said that their cloud strategy involved cloud printing.
directprint.io RED can help dealers and MPS providers to stand out from the crowd as now, more than ever, channel vendors need to differentiate, across bundled offerings, features and price.
Next-generation MPS engagements are no longer hardware-centric, they need to support customers’ needs around mobility, security, cloud and digitization.
