directprint.io has received full validation as a Sharp Compatible software product and joins the Sharp Partner Programme.
Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (Sharp), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation, has announced that directprint.io’s SaaS print management solution has received full validation as a Sharp Compatible software product.
Pre-configured for over 400 Sharp models, directprint.io enables resellers or IT admins to deploy Sharp multifunction printers (MFPs), and secure, control and track printing across Chromebooks, Windows and macOS environments.
directprint.io’s cloud-based admin console and universal print driver provide a seamless interface between Sharp’s printing devices and the cloud-based print management platform, enabling Sharp-native features such as secure print; advanced finishing options (stapling, hole punching, booklet creation, etc.); and accounting codes, to be seamlessly enabled and deployed.
The cloud-based platform is zero touch, once installed, no configuration is needed for new devices or end-users; updates are automatic and security is built-in. directprint.io also delivers full, real-time print analytics by user, department, device and more.
With this accreditation, directprint.io has joined the Sharp Partner Programme.
“Because it allows for secure tracking and printing through different hardware environments, such as Chromebooks, directprint.io’s offering is the perfect solution for K – 12 educators looking to manage their printing devices,” said Vince Jannelli, Associate Vice President, Software Product Management, Sharp. “New members, such as directprint.io, ensure the Sharp Partner Programme continues to deliver value to our customers and channel partners.”
“We are delighted to receive full validation as a Sharp Compatible software product and to be welcomed into the Sharp Partner Programme,” said David Jenkins, CEO, directprint.io. “directprint.io streamlines printer management, reduces the time spent troubleshooting printer issues, enables automatic end-user provisioning and provides an easy, predictable printing experience. Our cost-effective subscription model is flexible and allows customers to scale up or down in line with their business needs. The combination of our true serverless solution and Sharp MFPs, will enable organisations to make print part of their cloud-first strategies, improve efficiency and reduce costs.”
directprint.io’s SaaS print management solution is currently available to Sharp’s channel partners and end-user customers.
