Why Smart Businesses Are Rethinking Print Management

Print management might not get much attention these days — but ignoring it can quietly drain your budget, time, and security.

That’s why Toshiba’s Elevate Sky® Print Management is helping businesses modernize how they print, track, and manage documents. With cloud-based control, enhanced security, and real-time visibility, ESPM turns printing from a problem area into a strategic advantage.

The Pain Is Real: What Businesses Are Still Struggling With

Even in 2025, we see the same challenges across industries:

• IT Overload: According to a study by IDC Up to 15% of IT’s time goes to printer issues. That’s valuable time that could be spent on more strategic initiatives.

• Limited Visibility: Many organizations can’t see who’s printing what, or how much it’s costing.

• Security Risks: Unreleased print jobs and unsecured devices create real compliance concerns.

• Waste and Inefficiency: Without smart policies, paper, toner, and energy use spiral.

These issues might seem small, but across dozens—or hundreds—of devices, they add up fast.

How ESPM Solves It

Elevate Sky® Print Management is designed to simplify and strengthen every part of your print environment.

• One platform for everything. Manage printers, copiers, and MFPs of any brand from a single cloud dashboard.

• Universal driver. No more driver chaos or manual updates.

• Built-in security. Enforce authentication, secure print release, and centralized controls for every user.

• Actionable insights. Track print behavior, allocate costs, and spot waste before it impacts your bottom line.

• Sustainability made easy. Apply print rules that reduce waste and support corporate ESG goals.

The result: a more efficient, secure, and sustainable print environment that scales with your business.

Real-World Impact
