Solutions to manage and maximize efficiency across enterprises
HP, along with partners Troy, SafeCom, Captaris and Standard Register, is delivering the following solutions that address business needs from security to manageability:
HP Check Printing Security Solutions from HP and Troy Group, Inc.(1) are ideal for banking and finance industries. Design features help safeguard the printing device while meeting stringent check processing standards to avoid check fraud. Solutions are also available to reduce fraud with documents, including school report cards, prescriptions and birth certificates.
HP Imaging and Printing Job Accounting and Security Solutions from HP and SafeCom(2) allow customers to control printing expenses and color use, protect confidential documents, and decrease environmental impact by reducing paper and toner consumption through enforced printing and copying policies, such as duplex printing and non-color printing, and user authentication requirements.
The HP LAN Fax Solution from HP and Captaris(1) combines the Captaris RightFax offering with HP multifunction printers (MFPs) and digital senders.
