# Did you know there are up-and-coming advances in your office paper that can make your workplace function better?

 In 2019, there are two of the emerging trends for office printing to watch out for to improve your business practices:** **

**1. Enhanced Print Security  **With data theft on the rise, cybersecurity is top of mind for most businesses. The most obvious reason why print devices are attractive for cyber criminals is that their hard drives often store sensitive data. However, thieves also target print devices as they can provide network access in the same way that other IoT-type devices do.

**2. Cloud-Delivered MPS Becomes More Prominent  **While cloud-delivered MPS is not new, it will become more prominent in 2019. With this technology, SMBs will be able to access mobile, document workflow, and security technology that they may not have been able to afford previously. When integrating the cloud with smart MFP technology, SMBs can benefit from cost-effective solutions for secure content management, collaboration, storage, retrieval, distribution, and more. Given these benefits, we can expect that there will be an increased demand for cloud-delivered MPS, and even traditional MPS providers will expand their services into the cloud.

Don't wait on getting the best of the best in security & Cloud capabilities on your printers. With a team of specialists, **Warehouse Direct has your workplace in good hands.**
