Report Summary

IT market research and advisory firm IDC covers highlights of Lexmark CPI, including:

  • Taking advantage of its IoT-enabled hardware and well-established cloud print management platform, Lexmark is helping customers migrate to a fully-outsourced, consumption-based model for print.
  • Lexmark assumes complete ownership and management responsibility for the entire print infrastructure, including print hardware, servers, document solutions, and ongoing support.
  • With Lexmark CPI, customers could expect consistency in security protection with a cohesive set of solutions, services, and best practises deployed across the entire fleet.

Lexmark CPI is not just about outsourcing the management of print infrastructure but re-architecting the print environment to a cloud-based deployment to significantly reduce print and infrastructure needs, while driving cost savings and optimisation of IT resources.1
