HP Unveils Imaging and Printing Devices, Solutions and Services for
Enterprises
Introduces industry's first comprehensive solutions business partner
accreditation, certification and test program
PALO ALTO, Calif. (Business Wire EON) April 8, 2008 --
HP today announced a broad expansion of its imaging and printing
portfolio for large businesses.
The company’s latest offerings help
enterprises manage, secure and simplify their imaging and printing
environments and improve workflows to reduce costs and enhance
productivity.
The new offerings include six HP LaserJet printers, an enterprise-class
scanner for document capture, three access control printing solutions,
four printing services and an accreditation, certification and test
program for HP’s software solution development
partners.
HP also extended the reach of its $300 million “What
Do You Have To Say?” global interactive
marketing campaign to target large businesses. In the expansion, print
and online advertising and interactive tools will showcase how 3M
worked with HP to globally reduce its device count by 47 percent and
save more than $3 million in just two years.
“HP has cultivated three factors essential to
the global enterprise business: people, partnerships and portfolio,”
said Vyomesh Joshi, executive vice president, Imaging and Printing
Group, HP. “We have quadrupled the total
contract value of HP Managed Print Services, bolstered our Print
2.0 strategy with the recent acquisition of Exstream Software and
expanded our focus on imaging and printing solutions that help customers
optimize their infrastructure, manage their environment and improve
workflows.”
HP customer quality assurance for partner solutions
The new HP Solutions Business Partner Accreditation, Certification and
Test program (ACT) is the industry’s first to
accredit partners’ internal processes, review
their designs and certify their solutions. The program gives customers
confidence in the quality and feature richness of the solution, while
reducing their implementation time and support costs.
Through the ACT program, HP ensures that the partner’s
internal development and support processes are pre-qualified using HP’s
stringent criteria and that applications have been tested to work with
HP devices and software. Partners in the program must demonstrate
consistent, high-quality delivery of specific solutions built on HP’s
software development kits and the HP
Open Extensibility Platform.
Ten partners, including Assentis, Capella Technologies, Captaris,
Equitrac, Jetmobile, Kofax, MPI, Omtool, Pharos Systems and ReadSoft,
are now accredited and have specific solutions in the certification
process.
Imaging and printing security
The new HP Access Control Printing Solutions are designed to help
mitigate security and compliance risks, prevent fraud, protect data
privacy and enhance device fleet management. The solutions include:
• The HP Access Control Secure Printing
Solution delivers enhanced print security through authentication,
authorization and auditing to track printer usage by device and user. It
includes a breadth of authentication options ranging from network log-in
to card-based capabilities.
• The HP Access Control Secure Pull Printing
Solution helps mitigate security and compliance risks and reduces paper
waste by allowing print jobs to be encrypted and stored until the
authorized user is ready to retrieve and print.
• The HP Access Control Job Accounting
Solution is able to track detailed print, scan, copy and email usage by
device, user, department or cost center. It accounts for print jobs
effectively and aids in forecasting, internal billing and cost recovery.
Expanded device and document capture portfolio
Customers using the six new HP LaserJet devices can improve their
adherence to security and compliance regulations in addition to
increasing productivity. The product rollout includes:
• The HP

In addition, HP expanded its document capture portfolio by introducing
the HP Scanjet N9120 Document Flatbed Scanner. As HP’s
first dedicated enterprise departmental-class scanner, the fast A3
flatbed scanner offers 50 ppm and versatile paper handling with an
automatic document feeder. The HP Scanjet N9120 easily integrates with
HP Web Jetadmin print management software and includes Kofax Virtual
ReScan Professional.
New toner formulation reduces energy consumption
HP’s newly enhanced low-melt toner
formulation reduces energy consumption. The toner, available with the
new HP LaserJet P4015/4014, is designed to melt at lower temperatures,
yet deliver print quality consistency at faster print speeds.
As a result, it requires 15 percent less energy to reach fusing
temperature – enabling a 10 to 15 percent
improvement in printing system energy consumption per page.(2)
Boost business productivity with new services
The four new services HP introduced help customers identify
opportunities to improve the efficiency of their imaging and printing
infrastructure and workflows.
The four assessment services include:
• The HP Industry Benchmark Assessment
evaluates the health of an organization’s
output environment, allowing comparisons between a company’s
estimated imaging and printing environment against a series of specific
industry benchmarks.
• The HP Optimization Assessment provides
expert advice on how an organization can establish, control and manage
its output environment. It provides cost recommendations for a future
state fleet design and longer term strategies.
• The HP Managed Environment Assessment
measures printing impact on a business and provides a holistic and
clearly defined picture of the potential savings and improvements by
engaging HP Managed Print Services.
• HP Workflow Discovery is a customized
workflow analysis designed to streamline and improve business processes.
Marketing campaign
Building upon HP’s “What
do you have to say?” campaign, which was
introduced to the consumer and small to medium business market segments
in August 2007, the new “Alternative Thinking
About Printing” enterprise campaign is
designed to inspire and empower customers to work with HP to optimize
their imaging and printing infrastructures, manage their device
environments and improve workflows.
The Print 2.0
Planner, a component of the interactive campaign, helps enterprise
customers optimize their imaging and printing infrastructures by
revealing their potential to strategically achieve business goals by
effectively managing their networks.
