Ringdale addresses security gaps for remote workers

May 11, 2020

Ringdale, the provider of FollowMe, a print management solution for enterprise and government organisations, highlights how it is helping bridge the print security and compliance gaps for remote workers when printing outside the corporate office.

Due to current global events and trends, remote working is becoming more viable for a wider set of roles and it is predicted that more staff will shift to remote working on a more permanent basis in the future, according to Ringdale. In addition, according to a recent IDC study, 48.5% of companies in Western Europe expect to provide home workers with a print/MFP device in the next six months. Corporate IT departments will be required to consider updating existing or developing new processes to support staff working remotely, including home office printing.

Remote workers need to be able to print seamlessly both at the home office and in corporate locations, while being aligned with organisational security and compliance policies. Frequently employees unknowingly bypass existing policies when they are unable to perform tasks easily when working from home, including home office printing. Most organizations expose themselves to these unnecessary security and regulatory risks without the correct control measures in place.

“Printing in the home office is made easy with FollowMe and organisations can benefit from the security and compliance controls already in place for corporate office printing,” said Eric Crump, Director of Strategic Alliances at Ringdale. “Our vendor neutral platform is ready to support our customers working with a broad range of printer brands found normally in WFH environments.”

The solution is immediately available through Ringdale authorised resellers worldwide.
