As managed printing solutions (MPS) are increasingly being
recognized as a strategic business tool to manage IT costs and
improve workflow efficiency, product vendors are all out to cater
to this segment of business.
To tap the nascent yet growing MPS market in India, HP today
announced the opening of its new HP Imaging and Printing Enterprise
Solutions Experience Center in Bangalore. This is HP’s fourth
such center across the world and first in India, the others located
in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
According to a report by Springboard Research, the MPS market in
Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) region is estimated to grow to USD 1
billion by 2012. The Indian market is expected to be the fastest
growing market in the region, with a CAGR of 22.6 percent.
“Over the last one year, managed enterprise printing has seen
immense growth as CIOs have realized the benefits of MPS in cost
savings and optimized workflows. Going forward, we expect a larger
number of enterprises to adopt this model to maximum value from
their IT investments,” said Nitin Hiranandani, Director,
Managed Enterprise Services, HP IPG.
An analysis of enterprise imaging and printing operations by HP
reveals energy savings of between 30 percent and 80 percent and
reductions in paper consumption in the millions of pages.
“The
cloud enabled instant-on enterprise comes to life at this center
where our customers can now experience the benefits of an optimised
environment and visualise the power of the latest in workflow
solutions,” said Pierre Mirlesse, Vice President, Managed
Enterprise Solutions, IPG, HP.
HP also introduced its ePrint for Enterprise solutions that enables
secure cloud mobile printing for enterprises in India from any HP
webOS device, Blackberry, iPhone and Android devices to any
networked enterprise printer or thousands of HP ePrint Mobile Print
locations worldwide.
