Mobile print solution for P&G staff

Xerox Corporation has provided a mobile solution for Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) enabling employees to use smartphones to print business documents.

P&G unveiled the new print capability at its Goldmine event as part of its Enterprise Print Services (EPS) strategy. Its leadership team in the US will soon be able to print without having to download software, map to a printer or boot up a laptop due to the EPS platform the solution is built on.

Filippo Passerini, chief information officer and president of P&G's Global Business Services, said: "We have more than 20,000 employees using mobile devices, so taking the hassle out of working on the road is also going to boost employee satisfaction and efficiency."

"Xerox's mobile print capability keeps printing easy and secure - maintaining our agile global workforce and protecting P&G's brand and intellectual property at the same time."

The firm has consolidated devices and controls how and when documents are printed in order to simplify and digitise its global printing infrastructure, using EPS.

Stephen Cronin, president of Xerox Global Services, said: "The mobile print capability is an example of how Xerox is extending the value of managed print services for our clients and empowering them with innovative services that benefit their core business."
