TL;DR
Enterprise printing is often outdated, fragmented, and a drain on IT resources. Shifting print infrastructure to the cloud modernizes this essential service, delivering stronger security (including zero-trust), easier compliance with global data privacy laws, better support for hybrid workforces, and significant cost and IT efficiency gains.
For organizations looking to reduce complexity, improve visibility, and future-proof their operations, the time to migrate printing to the cloud is now.
We’re excited to announce the release of Blueprint 6.0, the latest version of the leading on-prem print management platform trusted by large enterprises to enhance security and efficiently manage enterprise printing. Updates with this release provide customers with a clear path to modernize their print environment by migrating to Pharos Cloud.
Path to Cloud Migration
Customers are increasingly migrating their print infrastructure to the cloud to take advantage of the inherent benefits of cloud-native architecture including elimination of print servers, increased IT efficiency, enhanced security, and a better print experience for the increasingly mobile and hybrid workforce. According to a recent IDC report, almost half of enterprises say they are currently looking to modernize their print infrastructure to align with their overall cloud migration strategy.
To help Blueprint customers migrate to Pharos Cloud, the Print Scout installer (starting with Pharos Cloud 4.3) will automatically detect and uninstall any existing Blueprint components before proceeding with the Pharos Cloud installation.
Minimize Disruptions During Migration
While migrating from Blueprint to Pharos Cloud may initially seem like a heavy lift, Pharos has designed a structured, two-phased approach for customers on Blueprint 6.0 to simplify the journey. With minimal disruption and hands-on guidance, customers can move from their existing print infrastructure to Pharos Cloud with clarity, control, and confidence—and in less time.
Key Benefits of Our Migration Approach
