The Future of Office Printing

Offices are not going away, but they are changing in meaningful ways. Shifting—or accelerating—trends in the way we communicate, share, and distribute information exerts new pressures on printing infrastructures.

In the coming decade, office environments will accommodate fewer occupants at any given time, serving a shifting community of workers on a day-to-day basis. Many companies are downsizing their physical footprints. Digital transformation initiatives will reduce the need for IT infrastructure and physical storage space, and fewer people will be needed to manage the IT infrastructure that remains. Cloud computing offers elasticity and scalability, while also vastly simplifying management and support. Mobile devices will play a more prominent role as well.
