Modernize Enterprise Print Management with Pharos Cloud
Pharos Cloud is a cloud-native print management platform built for enterprise IT teams that eliminates print servers, strengthens security, and connects print to the broader IT ecosystem.
Every part of your IT
stack moved to the cloud.
Print didn’t.
A persistent security risk. Print servers and Windows Print Spooler are among the most exploited attack surfaces in enterprise IT. 61% of organizations had a print-related breach in 2023 (IDC). Average cost: $800K+.
Invisible, uncontrolled cost. Server hardware, licensing, driver sprawl, and reactive IT support drain budgets — most of it difficult to measure or justify.
Friction for IT and employees alike. Unreliable printing, help desk ticket overload, and zero fleet visibility. A legacy problem that modern IT teams deserve to leave behind.
