The way organizations look at print is changing
Better business outcomes require more efficient print processes
Businesses spend a lot on printing. Yet typically, only 7% goes for equipment and supplies.
True cost of print: For every $1 spent on printing, $14 is spent managing it.
The majority is spent on IT support, administration, facilities and document management.
To reduce costs and get more value from their print infrastructure, businesses are looking for innovative ways to streamline processes, improve workflows and mitigate against the increasing threat from cyber attacks.
Managed Print Services (MPS) from DXC Technology combines our IT service expertise with the world’s most secure printers from HP, to simplify your entire print infrastructure and drive better outcomes.

- Reduce print volumes and manage print assets more sustainably over their lifetime
Is your printer the way in for data criminals?
An overlooked threat
When people think about IT security and cyber attacks, they rarely think about their printers.
Only 2% of the world’s printers are secure – and only 16% of companies view printers as a risk.
Yet unsecured printers can provide data criminals with an open door to your network. With built-in operating systems, disk drives and email capabilities, today’s printers act just like any other network client – one that hackers can exploit to seed malware, extract customer data and steal company secrets.
The world’s most secure printers
There are huge financial penalties for failing to protect customer data – and cyber breaches cost, on average $9.5 million to resolve.
That’s why DXC uses the latest HP printers with built-in security monitoring to stop malware attacks and emerging threats in real time.
If such a printer detects malicious code or suspicious network requests, it will reboot – and come back online only if its firmware is healthy. It is, in effect, self-healing.
It’s more than print security
Getting your printer security right is a doorway to much wider benefits. For example, it can also help you:
- Streamline processes and enhance productivity with secure automation
- Transform the print and mobility experience for your users
- Deliver simple, efficient IT to reduce costs and improve service levels
