Over 60% of businesses have admitted to experiencing print-related data breaches, however enterprises still place a low priority on print security.

Multi-function printers (MFP) have evolved into sophisticated devices capable of running its own software and handling print, scan, email, and fax; it has become an integral device in streamlining workflows, and a device that organizations can no longer be complacent with. MFPs are referred to as the “weakest link” in IT infrastructure and can leave organizations exposed to potential data breaches.

I’m Bob Pelzer, the IT Manager and this is Wynn Fangmeier, an IT Analyst at TEAM Software. TEAM Software is an independent software vendor that makes software for the back-end process of janitorial and security guard companies. We provide ERP systems to cover everything from accounting, HR, budgeting, and timekeeping software. There’s a lot of high turnover, a lot of HR needs in those industries with not a lot of ops personnel to do it, so we help automate and accelerate the process.

We are Window’s based with SQL server so we’re heavy on web products and we rely on Citrix for a lot of support. When users are connecting to our network they may be based in a home office or central office, but there are ops managers, field officers, and they could be connecting from anything!

My name is Adam Flowers, and I am a lead solutions architect here at the American Red Cross. The team that I am on is called End User Technologies Solutions, which is the architect or engineering level for the EUS group which is desktop support or service desk support.

Being on the IT team, I am tasked with IT support for a multitude of different organizations and end user classifications. I support full-time employees, part-time employees, and the volunteer staff as well. We have such a diverse printing environment – so many different printer models, many different set-ups, and of course we had home users that had wireless printers in their homes or USB attached printers out there.

I’m Doctor Brian Lee, and I am full time emergency doctor, chairman of the emergency department, and chairman of the physician advisory committee for St. Joseph Hospital. Our hospital serves 90,000 patients a year and on average I serve 10 patients an hour.

One of the primary issues that I faced was accidentally printing confidential documents to other regions, since our old system listed every single location, which caused a lot of frustration with having to run back and forth to collect the documents. This ended up being a very time consuming process which took anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes just to get something printed out.
