Lexmark enhances tools for channel partners to provide ‘Cloud-First’ print solutions

New features are designed for distributed business environments, enabling ANZ channel partners to drive cloud print solutions

SYDNEY, Australia. 29 June 2021

Lexmark, a global imaging solutions leader, today announced major enhancements to its cloud services offering for channel partners – across Cloud Fleet Management (CFM) and Cloud Print Management (CPM).

The latest iteration of Lexmark’s cloud services will enable partners to support customers with their adoption of a ‘cloud-first’ strategy, minimising day-to-day print management tasks, reducing demands on IT staff, and providing a stable, but flexible print environment.

“As the uptake of cloud-based technologies and solutions continues to rise, we’re encouraging our partners to adopt a ‘cloud-first’ approach to their offering as an alternative to traditional premise-based device management and configuration,” said Stephen Bell, Regional Director of Lexmark ANZ. “Cloud-based solutions offer an effective, secure and less costly way of connecting today’s remote and hybrid workforce.”

Lexmark Cloud Services addresses these trends by providing a full suite of cloud-based services to deliver remote device management, print job management, document accounting and scan management features to ensure users are always capable of printing and scanning documents, which enhances productivity and flexibility.

Lexmark CFM enables channel partners to easily configure printers, capture metrics and keep devices current and working, all from a remote operations centre, which saves time and money. New CFM capabilities include:

Lexmark CPM allows partners to help customers of all sizes to simplify processes, streamline costs and relieve IT burden. This latest software and hardware update includes:

“Lexmark brings a full suite of cloud printing solutions to any print environment, suitable for small companies to large enterprises,” Mr Bell said.

“Our industry leadership in document and device security forms the backbone of the Lexmark Cloud, which offers the same levels of award-winning security, control and performance as our entire product line. We look forward to delivering additional cloud capabilities yet this year to allow partners to build cloud solutions for customers.”

Channel partners in Australia and New Zealand can take advantage of the new Cloud Services offerings from today. Registration for Cloud Print training and certification is now available for Lexmark channel partners.
