HP introduces new cloud-based subscription plan
September 23, 2021
HP Inc. announced HP Managed Print Flex, a new cloud-first Managed Print Service (MPS) subscription plan.
Announced at HP Reinvent 2021, the company’s global virtual partner event, HP said that HP Managed Print Flex offers channel partners an “especially compelling opportunity” to grow predictable print revenue and profit without complexity and risk through upfront revenues on hardware, resell and commission options, ad-on solutions and service subscriptions, shorter sales discussions and more.
By moving to the cloud, HP said that customers and partners can select the printers that best suit their needs and quickly and effectively equip workers in the office or at home with the print technology they need to be productive.
With HP’s Smart Pricing Plan, customers will not have to worry if they are paying more than needed as the plan automatically adjusts month-to-month to ensure they get the best cost option based on actual volume printed.
“After a year and a half of unprecedented change, it has become abundantly clear that flexibility is paramount,” said George Brasher, General Manager and Global Head, Print Services and Solutions, HP Inc. “With this in mind, we have taken the complexity out of managed print services and made it as simple and seamless as possible. In fact, customers don’t even choose a plan. Our innovative Smart Plan adjusts automatically to the best cost option based on what was actually printed, so IT departments can focus less on overseeing printing services and more what really matters.”
The base subscription also includes:
- Supplies auto replenishment proactively schedules supplies delivery before you run out
- Break fix services with 2 hour call back and next business day onsite support if not resolved remotely
- Short-term 1-year commitment with automatic renewal
- HP Roam so workers can print securely from virtually anywhere
- All printers consolidated in an analytics dashboard and billed under single contract
- A page is a page; plans do not differentiate between mono and colour
- The Wolf Security pack ensures endpoints are configured with the right security settings
HP Managed Print Flex is currently being piloted with select resellers and customers in the US, UK and Germany. It is expected to become widely available in Spring 2022.
