Cost containment is a critical strategy for any business that wants to increase revenues and maintain a lead over its competition. Distinct from cost management, [cost containment or control](https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/small-business/accounting/articles/cost-control/) is concerned with actual costs as opposed to creating budgets or planning financial resources for the future.

The first step in managing costs is understanding them. Many companies have no idea what  
they are spending to accomplish their daily print activities, often underestimating how much printer  
downtime, machine maintenance, and paper waste is costing them. That is why many businesses are  
turning to print management solutions that can get control of — and reduce — the overall cost of  
printing.

And one of the most reliable and effective ways to deploy a print management strategy for your business is to adopt a cloud-based print management solution.

Benefits of a Cloud-Based Print Management Solution

As the pandemic continues to disrupt the way we work and live, businesses have begun to  
look for technologies and solutions that help manage those changes more effectively. For example, a  
stronger emphasis on remote or [hybrid work environments](https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/04/hybrid-2022-work-trend-index/) has caused the print industry to develop  
new tools to help companies adapt — and thrive. One of these is a [shift to cloud-based print](https://quocirca.com/content/print-industry-sees-the-pandemic-as-an-opportunity-for-innovation/)  
[management.](https://quocirca.com/content/print-industry-sees-the-pandemic-as-an-opportunity-for-innovation/)

Adopting a cloud-based solution brings higher levels of access to leading-edge print technology while  
lowering the cost of resources. Cloud printing, at its basis, moves your traditional on-premises servers to  
a virtual — or hosted — environment. In this way, you can connect all your print devices, even those in  
remote or mobile locations, to your company’s network through the internet without the need for  
complex installations or drivers.

Besides ease of use, these solutions bring a host of benefits, including:

1. Reduced Costs  
Cloud-based print management allows you to track print costs by offering a single monthly charge for all services, including maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, and supplies. It also reduces the need for up-front capital expenditures to secure hardware such as on-premises servers which, in turn, reduces  
energy costs.

2. Flexibility  
As your business’s print needs change, your cloud-based system can be quickly modified to scale  
upwards — or downwards — to reflect evolving needs. New functionality and features can be easily  
added and services implemented to keep business continuity a priority.

3. Security  
With information and systems in a cloud environment, redundancy is easily achieved, ensuring you have  
access to your necessary data, even if there is a natural disaster, theft, or loss. Administrators have full access control over print and data functions and can easily add or remove authorizations as needs arise or change.

4. Cost Control and Transparency  
At their core, print management systems give businesses the reins when it comes to controlling print  
costs and reducing waste. Because processes are automated and tracked, full reports are available to  
help determine where most of your print spend is happening and give insights on how to better control  
costs in the future.

Look to ASE for Leading-Edge Print Management
