[Feature] Cloud Solutions Center (292891)

To further enhance our cloud offerings, we are excited to announce the launch of a new cloud solution this year: Lexmark Cloud Solution Center (CSC).  

Cloud Solution Center is a document enhancement solution that delivers an intuitive way to capture, process and route every type of document, all in the security of the cloud. CSC takes what was Cloud Scan Management, Translation Assistant and Redaction functionalities and rolls them in a single, easy-to-use solution.  

CSC provides a common point for users to enhance documents and create simple to complex workflows that can be easily shared across the enterprise. It’s simple to use, fast to deploy and customizable for your organization’s unique workflows. And best of all, it’s a one-stop source designed to eliminate the many steps – and solutions – users generally need to manage documents.   

[Feature] Print Management Update – Offline Print (292897)

We are introducing the new Offline Print feature, designed to ensure uninterrupted printing even during internet or cloud outages.

Offline Print allows users to continue printing through local networks, with metadata synced to the cloud once connectivity is restored. This feature guarantees business continuity during network disruptions, providing a transparent user experience with minimal downtime. It seamlessly integrates with existing workflows, ensuring that critical documents, such as patient records and prescriptions, are printed without interruption.

Offline Print is a reliable solution for maintaining full accountability, as offline print metadata is automatically integrated into cloud analytics upon reconnection. This feature enhances staff efficiency by eliminating the need for manual reprints during network disruptions.

 

[Feature] Print Management Update – Advanced Hybrid Storage (292897)

We are excited to announce the launch of the Advanced Hybrid Storage feature, revolutionizing print management with enhanced security, flexibility, and business continuity.

Advanced Hybrid Storage combines local storage with cloud scalability, allowing sensitive documents to be stored locally while non-sensitive documents utilize the cloud. This hybrid model ensures compliance with data residency laws and provides faster local processing for large jobs. It offers hybrid flexibility to meet diverse organizational needs, making it an ideal solution for industries with strict data compliance regulations.

With Advanced Hybrid Storage, users can achieve 100% compliance with regional data residency laws, reduce average print job processing time for high-security documents, and improve resource allocation by using cloud storage for non-sensitive tasks. This feature seamlessly integrates into hybrid and direct printing workflows, providing unmatched business continuity during outages.
