As organizations strive for more efficient and cost-effective IT infrastructures, the need to eliminate print servers has never been more pressing. While Microsoft Universal Print offers a compelling solution for cloud-based printing, it lacks several advanced features that a modern enterprise requires. This is where Celiveo 365 steps in, transforming cloud printing from a basic necessity to a feature-rich function essential for advanced printer fleet management.
Why Traditional Print Servers Fall Short
