Secure, cloud-managed service adds increased functionality, reduced costs, and eliminates the need for print server infrastructure.
Kofax, a leading Intelligent Automation platform for digital workflow transformation, announces the latest edition of Printix, its industry-leading cloud print management SaaS offering. Designed to provide a complete print infrastructure and environment for improved efficiency, productivity, and cost savings, Printix bolsters all-cloud strategies for organizations and eliminates the need for print server infrastructure.
Built to work and grow with today’s modern workplace organizations, Printix supports Single Sign-on (SSO) with Microsoft Azure Active Directory and can be deployed with Microsoft Endpoint Manager. The product is scalable by design and can handle any number of users, printers, and multi-function devices (MFDs) for flexible and secure printing, mobile printing, and document capture workflows.
“This edition of Printix completely eliminates print servers from network infrastructure and replaces them with a secure, cloud-managed print infrastructure with next-generation integrated capture,” says Rod Hughes, Vice President, Product Strategy at Kofax. “This significantly reduces on-premises infrastructure costs, services, support and maintenance fees, freeing up resources that organizations can reallocate toward innovation that helps move their business forward.”

- Enhanced Microsoft integration. Printix supports full integration with Microsoft Azure AD including effortless deployment with EndPoint Manager and Single Sign-On providing confidence for users, while removing IT and administration overhead.
- Full support for all network printers. Complete independent and multi-vendor support for an organization’s mixed fleet of devices, enabling users to print to any printer from any device.
“The ease and convenience of handling multiple printer sites and separate networks can’t be overstated,” says James Barber, Service Owner – End User Computing at global customer Jotun A/S. “Cloud-based print infrastructure is the future for cloud-first businesses, and Kofax Printix supports that in ways we never thought were possible.”
The cloud continues to empower Kofax Document Automation & Security solutions, creating new flexible services that reduce the typical back-office burden that comes with running a print infrastructure.
