The COVID-19 pandemic It has completely changed our way of working and socializing, and it has left us in a new normal in which many “inherited” challenges are still present, which have yet to be overcome. Fortunately, the recovery has been a reality on many fronts, and according to data from the report of the Spanish Entrepreneurship Observatory and ENISA (National Innovation Company) recent entrepreneurial activity has been one of them, since has grown to reach a rate of 5.5% over the total population. This percentage is similar to the one that existed before the outbreak of the health crisis, and it is very positive data if we compare it with the rise of 2.2% in the business abandonment rate.
In this context, we can highlight the creation of micro-businesses and small businesses, two figures that continue to play an important role in our society and in our economy, and that have to face important challenges to be more and more competitive. Managing available resources, attracting and retaining talent, maximizing profits, and optimizing and reducing workloads are just some of them, and it is that seemingly simple things like managing a fleet of computer equipment or a set of printers can become a significant burden for small businesses.
This has an explanation, and it is that in the end, the micro and small business usually does not have time to dedicate to solving technical problems, and they also can’t afford to hire someone to do IT, which means that any problem in the technological field can become a real headache. With this in mind, it is easy to understand why these types of companies seek technological solutions that are not only easy to implement, but also easy to use and maintain.
HP is aware of how important printing is for most micro and small businesses, and also of all the problems that are usually associated with this issue. A reality to which the American giant responds with HP+ for small businessa solution that has been designed to completely relieve these businesses of all the burden of installing, configuring, using and maintaining one or more printers.
The printer will no longer be a burden, thanks to HP +
Before going in to see what HP+ offers and how it makes a difference it is important analyze all the load it representsfor any micro or small business, to have and use a printer, covering from the moment of purchase to its use and subsequent maintenance.
When we buy a printer we have to carry out an installation and configuration process. This can take quite a while, and it is fundamental because the correct functioning of it will depend on it. If we do not install and configure it properly, the printer may not work, or it may give us errors at the worst moment, and this can frustrate us a lot.
Once we have completed the installation and configuration process we will have to keep track of many aspects, which implies that we will have to dedicate even more time to it. These are the most important:
- Security and printer status.
- Control of the use of the printer to assess printing costs and have information that allows us to establish savings policies.
- Monitor toner cartridge levels and replenish stock units to avoid running out of ink at the worst possible time.
- Compare prices between suppliers to find units at a good price and reduce costs.
- Find a way to recycle used toner cartridges to reduce our company’s carbon footprint.
- Solve the technical problems that arise, and also the security ones. For example, if the printer loses its connection to the Internet, we will have to find the fault and solve it.
All that list of tasks associated with something as seemingly simple as the use and maintenance of a printer can be overwhelming. Think of the effort and time that compliance with all these points can take for a micro or small business, and in the end we all know that Time is a very limited and very valuable resource.
