You may recall we recently published a post here on the Professional Document Solutions blog entitled The Difference Between Xerox Workplace Suite and Xerox Workplace Cloud where readers learned the differences between those two services (to catch you up, in a nutshell Xerox Workplace Suite is designed for on-site print management, and Xerox Workplace Cloud utilizes remote cloud servers that require minimal infrastructure from users).
However, it’s important to understand that Xerox Workplace Cloud is a specific component within Xerox’s broader cloud services. It’s a platform that provides authentication, print management, cost control, and mobility workflows. See the aforementioned post for additional details, or learn more on Xerox’s Workplace Solutions website here.
Having mentioned these things, you should know that Xerox also offers a range of other other cloud-based technologies and applications, a few of which we’d like to discuss today.
An Overview of the Xerox Cloud Services That Can Empower Budget-Conscious Small and Midsize Businesses
Perhaps the most commonly utilized component of Xerox’s cloud services are those on offer in the Xerox App Gallery, a repository of apps compatible with Xerox ConnectKey enabled devices (which encompass the majority of modern Xerox multifunction printers and other equipment).
Many of the apps available for your device are specifically designed to automate tasks and create custom solutions that integrate with various cloud-based workflows. Businesses—from garage startups to multinational organizations—use these tools to streamline processes and make their operations more efficient and custom-tailored to their specific needs.
There’s more, of course. Xerox’s Managed Print Services, for example, focus on analytics, workflow automation, content management, and security solutions. These services allow for the tracking of fleet performance, print volume evaluation, and the identification of opportunities to replace paper-heavy processes with streamlined, cloud-based ones.
For organizations that demand more out of their cloud storage system, Xerox DocuShare is a cloud-based content management platform that facilitates the management of paper and digital documents throughout their entire lifecycle in a secure, central cloud repository.
As you can see, there’s a lot of tools and options—in fact, there’s even more than what we have time to discuss today. But before we wrap things up, we’d like to briefly touch on a very useful tool that we’re big fans of.
A Discussion About Xerox Cloud Services Wouldn’t Be Complete Without Mentioning Xerox Workflow Central
Xerox Workflow Central is a cloud-based productivity platform. Our team has been consistently impressed by it, and we’ve discussed it here on the blog before—see these noteworthy entries on the topic:
- Xerox’s Most Powerful Productivity Platform: Get to Know Workflow Central
- Taking a Closer Look at Combination Workflows in Xerox Workflow Central
Essentially, the platform enables users to transform physical and digital files into usable formats, offering tools for translation, redaction, file conversion, and more. These tasks are handled for you in the cloud, so no expensive infrastructure or IT support is necessary.
