If you work in healthcare, then you probably have heard about HIMSS. The most influential healthcare information technology conference in the US. We’re very excited to announce that we will be once again helping to represent PaperCut and rfIDEAS at the event.
Both partners have some exciting new product enhancements that will surely help the everyday healthcare customer. With PaperCut as a leader in print management software and rfIDEAS a leader in secure access management for healthcare, you have an industry-leading solution to provide HIPAA-compliant printing practices.
PaperCut will be announcing their integration with Citrix! This enhancement is specifically designed for a feature called the Advanced Print Enablement pack or “Print Deploy” for short. Print Deploy is used to push print queues and drivers to users based on things like location, department or user group. This is done by creating “zones” based on factors like IP address, username, or even the computer hostname.
So why is this important? Desktop Virtualization is growing at an enormous rate for healthcare customers along with several other industries that have security at top of mind for their end users and company data.
Think of it this way. Would you rather have employees keep everything they need on their local PC’s, laptops, or even mobile devices? All the apps they need for work, the info they collect and even their emails on that device What if it gets stolen? What if it is lost? Even if the hard drive is encrypted, what happens to all that lost data? Oh well we have everything backed up to the cloud… what about the original versions saved to that pc?
Well with desktop virtualization that is a thing of the past. Employees access their important apps, file folders and everything they need for work through a remote desktop that is available on the network of even the general internet. This means that everything employees access and do is stored on a server that the company manages or pays for at a data center vs the local pc or laptop.
Most of our healthcare customers are in the “Service provider” bucket, which accounts for two-thirds of the $3.6 trillion US healthcare market. 100% of the top 10 largest healthcare organizations in the United States use Citrix IT solutions.
It is important for us to collaborate and work well as many hospitals, healthcare networks and customers, in general, will be looking to implement this or something very similar soon if they haven’t already. Have you asked your healthcare customers what their plans are for desktop virtualization or VDI? Let us know what your hear at healthcare@ecoprintq.com and tag this blog post in your email.
We LOVE feedback!
