EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A transformation has happened in office print environments. IT teams now directly support business growth and seek out solutions that make their life easier.
01 The year of the cloud: The majority of new projects are now cloud-first
In 2025, cloud print became the dominant choice for new activity on a global basis, including across emerging markets— driven by the need to simplify IT and mitigate security risks.
02 Print stacks evolve: More pure cloud and PC clients, fewer servers and drivers
As IT managers move away from on-prem servers and most customers now print through the PC Client over printer OEM’ s own print drivers, cloud-first print management becomes the standard.
03 Security and compliance accelerate cloud adoption— and enable growth
As IT leaders adopt stricter security and compliance standards, cloud print solutions give IT teams the confidence to support the business with secure, scalable infrastructure.
04 Proven at scale: Cloud print is no longer experimental
With over one billion pages printed, more than one million users, and 91,000 connected devices, the data behind this report reflects production environments operating at scale.
