The Print Management Evolution: Why “PaperCut is Dead” and Universal Print Isn’t the Answer

IT Document Solutions and Vasion Cloud Have the Answers

Your clients invested in print management for good reasons: cost control, security, and efficiency. But if they’re still running PaperCut’s server-dependent architecture or struggling with Universal Print’s connector limitations, they’re missing the serverless revolution that’s transforming how modern businesses handle print infrastructure.

The Infrastructure Reality Check

PaperCut requires ongoing server maintenance, updates, and creates potential single points of failure. Universal Print promises cloud benefits but still depends on Universal Print Connectors, Windows systems that must run constantly with no high availability mode. When these fail, printing stops entirely.

Vasion eliminates this complexity completely. True serverless architecture means no print servers, no connectors, no local infrastructure whatsoever. Your clients get genuine cloud transformation, not just cloud-washed traditional systems.

The ROI That Speaks for Itself

• 87% of Vasion customers achieve at least 100% ROI.

• Almost half report over 200% ROI within 12 months.

The numbers don’t lie:

• PaperCut users save £2,000 – £5,000 annually per eliminated server, plus reduce helpdesk tickets by 90%.

• Universal Print users cut connector maintenance costs, Windows licensing overheads, and job limit overages, while gaining enterprise features Microsoft simply doesn’t provide.

One healthcare client saved £70,000 annually serving 7,000+ users across multiple sites. Another organisation migrated 1,500 users and hundreds of printers in under two hours, impossible with traditional servers.

The Uncomfortable Truth

The question isn’t whether they’ll migrate to true serverless printing, it’s whether they will do it with you, or when a competitor shows them the future you overlooked.
