When Microsoft introduced Office 365, it took the corporate world by storm! The innovative software as a service (SaaS) solution offered users access to their favourite Microsoft Office productivity tools from one single platform.

Productivity levels soared for corporate users, with enterprises across the world purchasing the SaaS subscription for their organizations. With additional products catered specifically for business environments, such as Skype for Business and SharePoint, Office 365 has become a mainstay for most organizations.

As new, innovative SaaS solutions are introduced into the market, they also bring along their own challenges.

As you may already know, with the adoption of cloud and mobile technology, there has been an increased trend with organizations looking for tools and applications that support employee mobility and the adoption of digitally influenced tech that people use in their daily lives.

BYOD users and guests should be able to easily and securely print from both corporate and personal mobile devices, while you retain the ability to control what and how each user prints.

Security is obviously a big challenge and the use of follow me printing software along with mobile printing has many potential cost savings and security features which will benefit organizations in the long run.

Oh man! Client side rendering, who thought this was a great idea? Ok so you basically turn your entire client machine base into print servers right!?

Well, yes because that’s effectively what you are doing if you adopt a client side rendering print method.

So why is client side rendering so popular in many IT communities and why is it pushed so heavily by the printer hardware vendors?

Simply put, it reduces print servers and prevents print traffic from traversing the WAN. These reasons sound great, but for all intents and purposes it creates more printing issues than you had in the first place.

One of the most frequently common questions we receive are concerns about Chrome OS printing. My answer is although Google Cloud Printing is easy to use and rather handy, it isn’t perfect.

Normally, the configuration of your printing network to enable Chrome OS printing would involve a lot of work, but Google Cloud Print allows you to do it within just a few minutes.

Probably the biggest benefit of Google Cloud printing is that it simplifies enterprise printing structures and also the complex coordination of hardware across a wide network of computers.

Serverless computing is now trending in the world of software architecture.

Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, the world’s leading cloud providers, have all invested a large chunk of their resources in developing state-of-the-art Serverless computing technology.

But what is serverless computing?

What is the makeup of serverless computing, and what has lead to its rapid uptake and adoption among enterprises across the world? This blog will explore these issues and more!
