HP today announced a new global managed service that delivers a cloud-based, always-on print environment optimized for each client. HP Managed Print Cloud Services allows customers to leverage HP’s security innovation while maintaining the utmost control and flexibility around how the service is shaped. The offering addresses both trusted and zero-trust cloud environments and is delivered through a well-defined, modular approach with flexible services and software stacks.

“Meeting customers where they are in their journey to the cloud is a smart strategy and especially important now given the current environment,” said Patrick Moorhead, Moor Insights & Strategy. “I believe HP Managed Print Cloud Services shifts the responsibility of managing the client’s print-related technology to HP, allowing clients to redirect their critical IT investments to more strategic or urgent priorities.”
