Enabling Best-in-Class Printing for SAP Customers

We recognize that printing is pivotal for business processes – and that the number and capabilities of printer models on the market are growing steadily. SAP and printer manufacturers are cooperating in implementing the best combinations of printer features and SAP technology to benefit our joint customers.

Printing from SAP software can be a critical business activity for SAP customers. They want to know that they can rely on SAP to get the full benefit from their IT investment, including printers. Modern printers offer important new features – such as being able to communicate their status to a central monitor in SAP software, enabling rapid reaction to problems or optimizing cost-effective maintenance.

Now that printer vendors are contributing to the SAP printing environment directly, customers will receive SAP-delivered and -tested software with support included. They will be able to use vendors' printer models out of the box with their SAP software.

Printer vendors gain access to SAP development systems to develop the optimum support for their devices within SAP landscapes. Vendors can react expeditiously to their own developments – as soon as a new printer model is on the market, they can make it available for SAP customers. Using new enhancements that SAP provides to complement capabilities of today's printers, vendors can add value and differentiate their models from those of competitors.
