Have you noticed how every IT department is working on AI agent rollouts and cloud modernizations, yet still stuck in the past with legacy printer management?
In another edition of our Apple @ Work webinar series, exclusively sponsored by Mosyle (Learn more: mosyle.net/3RDn), we look at the process of modernizing enterprise printing. I was joined by Kevin Pickhardt, Executive Chairman at Pharos Systems International (https://www.pharos.com), to discuss bringing printer management into the modern era.
In this discussion, Kevin and I look into the shift toward PrintOps, a cloud-native approach that treats printing as an integrated enterprise control plane. We talk about the very real security vulnerabilities of physical printers, the importance of implementing Zero Trust principles, and how to eliminate on-premises print servers while reducing costs.
