In today’s technologically advanced landscape, businesses strive to streamline their operations and reduce inefficiencies. One area that often poses challenges involves managing print environments, especially as organizations grow and expand. To address common pain points, it is essential to eliminate print servers and transition to driverless printing. Here is where solutions like Microsoft Universal Print combined with Celiveo 365 come into play.
