Printum: Embedded Printer Application

2023: Avision Hardware Application Development

Printum The company has developed a built-in application for printers that allows full integrate the system print management with Avision devices, one of five the Taiwan corporations that produce high-quality scanners and printers. Comprehensive - Russianthe Chinese the solution will fill the void created in the printer market even after MFP the departure of foreign manufacturers of print management systems. This was announced on May 16, 2023. Skolkovo Foundation

Customers can implement Printum by connecting existing hardware to it, digitize and optimize all printing processes, and then start buying Avision hardware that will seamlessly integrate into their existing infrastructure.

The A3 segment is the most important for those projects and customers where fleet optimization is carried out: small devices with a high cost of ownership installed in offices are replaced with higher performance devices with a better cost of ownership, which are installed in corridors and printers. It is in this segment that the largest deficit is observed in May 2023.

In May 2023, parallel imports are developing on the market, but it has a number of shortcomings. Firstly, it is difficult to import a large fleet of identical devices, especially regularly. As a result, it will consist of different models, which is difficult to administer: you need to hold many different cartridges and spare parts for each device. Secondly, suppliers engaged in parallel imports do not guarantee the availability of the necessary parts for repair. Thirdly, the delivery times are blurred. If a company that officially supplies equipment to Russia can order a specific model, and it will be delivered within the agreed time frame, then with parallel imports, delays are likely, as well as changes in device models.

Official deliveries are an opportunity to standardize the fleet of equipment and buy the necessary models that will be brought in on time, have a manufacturer's guarantee and are provided with spare parts and consumables. All this is very important for corporate customers, since any interruptions can lead to downtime, business process failures. They're introducing corporate standards for a reason. And now all these standards are being rewritten, the products of the departed companies are being replaced by those that are available. There is still uncertainty in the segment of printing equipment: many do not know which technique to switch to. Our partnership with Avision will help us cope with the problem of import substitution. This will allow our customers to take control of the existing fleet of equipment and systematically replace it with the equipment that is officially supplied and has the necessary guarantees. There is no other such comprehensive solution that is suitable for a wide range of customers and does not have sanctions risks on the market, said Dmitry Dvoinikov, CEO of Printum.

Fleet optimization is not possible without print management software. When users, instead of printing on a printer that is installed in their office, begin to send print jobs to a corridor or printer, their documents can be accidentally taken by other employees, confidential information can be disclosed. This is unacceptable. Therefore, the document should be printed only when the user is near the device. To do this, print management systems are used that block the printer or MFP for an unauthorized user.
