Samsung Electronics has
acquired mobile cloud printing company PrinterOn in a bid to enhance its mobile
cloud services to the business-to-business market.
PrinterOn Users email
documents from their smartphones, tablets or laptops and PrinterOn renders the
document in the cloud and securely delivers it to the PrinterOn-enabled printer
of choice, where it is then printed after the user enters a secure release
code. There are over 10,000 PrinterOn printing locations worldwide. The company
also offers private cloud services on-site for customers that require mobile
printing but do not want data to leave the secure corporate network.
The acquisition of
PrinterOn will boost Samsung’s leadership in the standardization of mobile
printing as a founding member of the Mopria Alliance, it said in a statement. A
non-profit organisation backed by printer and ink cartridge vendors
like Hewlett-Packard,
Canon,
Adobe and Xerox,
Mopria aims to drive standards adoption by mobile, printer and OS industry
leaders, and certify products to carry the Mopria
brand.
