I recently had the honor of sitting down with PaperCut CEO and co-founder Chris Dance to talk about all things cloud print management in celebration of our PaperCut Hive launch.

And what do you know, but PaperCutter Al was there with a couple of cameras and his sound rig!

We have lift-off!

The PaperCut Hive rocket just launched!

Don’t take my word for it, look at our little rocket go!

This was a big week for PaperCut… Why? Because we launched our cloud-native print management platform to our channel partners!

Fuelled by coffee and dreams, our Melbourne, Portland, and London teams hosted a series of webinars for our ASCs and Resellers in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions.

The star of the show? We officially unveiled our cloud-native flagship product, PaperCut Hive!

For some workplaces, the idea of joining a product’s beta program for an entire school district would make them nervous. Not for Val Verde.

Shifting to remote working during Covid-19 made the once simple tasks of accessing files and printing unnecessarily painful and clunky.

But Val Verde’s IT wizards Matt and Brian smelled an opportunity to move everything to the cloud…

The dream of cloud print management is to achieve a reliable, secure, and fast printing experience without any dedicated on-site infrastructure (beyond the printer of course).

But how do you print without a server?

Bringing cutting-edge IoT technology to the world of print, PaperCut Hive reimagines the local print server by creating an Edge Mesh.

Here we are, the end of our series on cloud print management basics… I won’t cry, I won’t cry… *sniffles*

What a ride it’s been! To cap off with Cloud 105, we thought we’d tell you how PaperCut has evolved into the cloud print management picture.

There are many businesses embracing flexibility for their people by normalizing working from home. But remote working doesn’t mean your options are either work at home or the office.

Both in the face of this pandemic and in the future, a hybrid division of home and office working will become the new normal.

We thought we’d tap into our nearly year-long experience and share 4 ways to print flexibly for hybrid working.

How well do you understand the security of your print jobs?

It’s vitally important to add your print environment to your security checklist. Why? Because it’s prone to attacks from outside the workplace, and carelessness from within.

It’s that time again at PaperCut where we relax, rejuvenate, and most importantly, release.

Here’s what’s included in 20.1 as well as what’s changing in this release.

This release is also a little different to our previous upgrades, without further ado, let’s dive in.

Google announced today that PaperCut is an inaugural member of the Chrome Enterprise Recommended partner program.

Specifically, our print management solutions Mobility Print with PaperCut MF and PaperCut NG are verified as Chrome Enterprise Recommended products for Chrome OS.

So here we are at our latest entry of looking at cloud computing through the print management lens.

Throughout this series we’ve been name dropping the terms public, private, and hybrid cloud, while promising, ‘Don’t worry, we’ll get to them!’

Well here we are, we’re getting to them!
