Security and enterprise expertise help businesses gain
flexibility and scale
Today, HP Inc. unveiled a range of new services and solutions to
help businesses gain more flexibility and scale. The security
technology and enterprise expertise includes a powerful new HP
FutureSmart firmware release for HP Enterprise-class printers and
MFPs, Immersive Analytics Service and the integration with both
McAfee Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) – an industry
first for print devices.
“Empowering customers to take full control of their work
environment is central to our office reinvention strategy,” said
Tuan Tran, General Manager of the Office Printing Solutions
business at HP. “The services and solutions unveiled today provide
a step forward in seamless intelligence and industry-leading
security solutions.”
The services and solutions unveiled today build on HP’s office
printing momentum and become available in the coming weeks.
- HP FutureSmart 4 Firmware: This new version of
firmware for HP Enterprise-class printers and MFPs delivers
productivity with a cleaner and more intuitive interface for users.
The update features new capabilities, including Serverless Job
Accounting that enables printers to record analytics without
requiring a central server and empowering select print settings to
be mirrored via USB to new printers – vastly speeding setup.HP
FutureSmart 4 will ship with new HP devices including the HP
PageWide Color 755dn, PageWide Color MFP 774dn and dns, and
PageWide Color MFP 779dn and dns. Customers that own HP
devices with HP FutureSmart firmware as far back as 2012 models can
be upgraded to the new HP FutureSmart 4 version.1
- Microsoft SCCM integration: Strengthening HP’s
industry-leading security arsenal, HP is the first print OEM
offering integration with Microsoft SCCM. This integration enables
IT management to use one tool to configure printer security in
concert with all other SCCM-connected devices on the network.
- McAfee SIEM integration: To expand threat
monitoring, HP has also achieved certified integration with the
SIEM tool McAfee Enterprise Security Manager. McAfee SIEM provides
actionable intelligence to prioritize, investigate and respond to
potential malware attacks on HP printers.
- Immersive Analytics Service: Leveraging HP
Labs’ advances in visualization and analytics, this new component
of HP’s Business Intelligence Services provides customers with a
more immersive view of the key driving factors in their print
environment. Through this in-depth engagement, HP consultants can
help customers quickly pinpoint behaviors to accelerate
digitization, efficiency gains and risk reduction.
Customers Depend on HP
As companies’ needs grow increasingly complex, HP continues to
develop secure, adaptable technology. HP’s customers—including
large corporations, government entities and small business — share
their successes.
Take the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health
System (FMOLHS), which operates one of the largest health
care systems in the state of Louisiana. They turned to HP for a
print platform to complement an upgraded electronic medical records
solution. HP Managed Print Services helped FMOLHS reduce costs by
more than 30%, improved printing reliability for IT and healthcare
staff, and delivered secure accessible printing solutions.
During a six-week rollout of more than 1,800 devices and HP
software solutions for enhanced management, security and access
control, FMOLHS was able to cost-effectively expand for the
future.
“Changing out your electronic medical records is a 20-year
decision, and not something we do lightly because it interrupts the
entire hospital revenue stream for months if not a year,” says
Frank Sewell, Director of IS Resource Management & Compliance
at FMOLHS. “We made a long-term decision to adopt a new EMR, and we
wanted to treat printing as a long-term collaboration with a proven
success in healthcare. That’s why we engaged HP for a seven-year
contract.”
CTI Foods, a food manufacturer in Idaho, turned
to HP to standardize print policies and provide convenient printing
at its manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. With
salespeople who frequently work remotely, CTI needed to equip them
with reliable and secure printing 24 hours a day. HP now provides
the company with a portfolio of devices for each scenario, from
home office to manufacturing plant, with HP LaserJet and HP
PageWide MFPs.
