HP launched its latest addition to the Print-as-a-Service (PaaS) market: the All-In Plan. It’s a fully inclusive, customizable printing service for the home and microbusiness markets—aiming to make low-volume printing more convenient and flexible. Like other PaaS plans currently available, HP’s All-In Plan offers a new device as soon as the customer signs up, ink is automatically delivered before supplies run out, and HP will send a new device next business day if they are unable to fix a hardware issue at no extra cost. Returns of devices and ink cartridges are made easy with prepaid labels and envelopes made available.

 

It sounds like HP has thought of everything. Customers even have the option to upgrade their printer after two years and can try the plan risk-free for 30 days without paying an upfront cost. We’ll have to wait and see about how effective this plan can truly be. What can be said, however, is that HP believes in the potential of this market to create a PaaS plan with so much to offer. With the success of Instant Ink and Print At Your Service, HP’s new program will already have credibility—filling the gap between the ink-only and larger managed print service offerings for those who no longer want the financial tie and upkeep of a home device they own.

INFOGRAPHIC: Getting Assisted by AI

We’ve been imagining about artificial assistants all the way back with Rosie the Robot. And while we have electronic vacuums and food dishes for our pets, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have only continued to grow. While the most common examples include AI assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, there are plenty of other apps and solutions for consumers and companies alike to use. Generally speaking, an AI assistant is a type of software that uses artificial intelligence to understand human language and complete tasks on behalf of the user. Sometimes also referred to as a “digital” or “virtual” assistant, most people think of these solutions when they are asking their phones about their calendar, the weather, or an answer for a bit of trivia that might be rattling in their heads. However, there are many corporate programs available that take what consumer digital assistants do and apply it to marketing campaigns, automate task management solutions, and streamline project workflows. As seen in our recent analysis From Margins to Mainstream, the workplace impact of AI copilots varies significantly by industry and use case.

The AI MFP: Beyond the Buzzwords

The landscape of AI has transformed dramatically in just the past few years, evolving from theoretical concepts to practical applications. Print technology providers are now navigating this shift, integrating AI capabilities into their products and messaging. But with such rapid evolution, how can industry players effectively communicate the practical value of their AI implementations?
