Optimize infrastructure to reduce costs

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the HP LaserJet brand, HP is announcing new sub-branding to help companies select hardware devices best suited for their business needs. Small and midsized businesses can choose from a comprehensive line of HP LaserJet Professional printers that provide professional and cost-effective results. Larger organizations can select from the HP LaserJet Enterprise portfolio for stellar manageability, expandability and features that accelerate business results.

Building on the success of the HP LaserJet product line, HP introduced new printers and supplies to enterprises and small and midsize businesses including:

• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4520 Printer series, including the CP4525, designed for the performance-oriented customer who wants to share a robust color printer across large workgroups. It includes high-capacity paper handling, advanced security features and ENERGY STAR® compliance.
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4020 Printer series, including the CP4025, ideal for IT-managed workgroups that need a network-ready laser printer to produce eye-catching, color business communications and marketing collateral, at an affordable cost and with ENERGY STAR compliance.
• HP Jetdirect ew2500 Wireless Print Server, which enables companies to share printers over a wireless network. Without compromising security or efficiency, it supports Fast Ethernet wired networking with Wi-Fi certification and 802.11b/g wireless capability.
• The HP LaserJet CC364XD Black Dual Pack Print Cartridges for the HP LaserJet P4015 and P4510 Printer series help reduce costs for business that print in high volumes.

Manage environments to increase productivity

Through a strategic approach, HP helps customers identify opportunities to increase profitability and business results. Global technology company 3M renewed a five-year MPS contract with HP after experiencing extensive environmental benefits, increased productivity and significant cost reductions.

“HP has added significant value by reducing our cost and environmental impact over the last five years,” said Ernie Park, chief information officer, 3M. “After reviewing competitive bids, we have determined that HP has the best value in the marketplace and we are pleased to continue our work together.”

HP’s recently announced Printing Payback Guarantee for qualified new MPS customers in the United States is now available in Europe and Canada, with expected availability in Mexico and Brazil later this year, providing more companies with a risk-free way to save.

New manageability offerings for enterprise printing environments, available to customers through an MPS contract, include:

• The reliable lineup of HP Designjet large-format printers can now be offered to enterprises engaged in MPS through base-plus-click contracts.
• HP Imaging and Printing Security Center provides expertise, software and tools to help manage the entire imaging and printing security life cycle through a flexible, policy-based management approach to easily create security policies and monitor print device compliance.
• HP Retail Marketing Automation On Demand is a collateral management solution designed for retail store-front operations, or any enterprises engaged in HP MPS, that are looking to streamline marketing operations and increase signage efficiency, marketing collateral production and customer reach.
• Since announcing HP’s IT-sponsored telecommuter bundles last spring, HP is now offering HP Web Jetadmin management capabilities for IT to accurately track, manage and report telecommuter printing
