Cloud printing can be as stable as on-premises printing: Though you might be eager to start migrating to cloud printers, bear in mind that cloud printing solutions all have the same Achilles' heel: reliance on an Internet connection. Well, almost all of them. Because Printer Cloud leverages rock-solid direct IP printing technology, which establishes direct connections between clients and printers, an interruption in the WAN connection doesn't mean that printing stops. That removes one of the big caveats to cloud print migration—and even offers a clear advantage over centralized print servers, for that matter.

With Printer Cloud, that's one aspect of cloud printing that you don't have to worry about. Because Printer Cloud essentially takes Printer's powerful on-premises technology and transfers it to a convenient SaaS model, your organization stands to gain functionality after cloud print migration. Printer Cloud is fully compatible with all brands of current, future and legacy printers.

Cloud printing can be as full-featured as on-premises printing: Not all SaaS printing solutions are created equal. When considering or preparing for cloud print migration, you'll want to make sure that you've identified the right SaaS print management solution. Typically, the convenience of cloud printing solutions requires some tradeoffs in terms of features. For example, it's possible that certain drivers aren't compatible with your SaaS solution, or legacy devices will provide only limited (or no) functionality after migration. Be aware of the risks of migrating to cloud printers and the possibility that you might lose some device-specific features.

Ready to take your printing into the cloud? Before you choose to float away toward next-gen software as a service (SaaS) or keep your traditional print infrastructure firmly planted on the ground, there are a few things you should expect when migrating to cloud printing.
