Expanding your multifunction printer capabilities

HP and DTP are re-imagining what the printer can do for our customers. We’re expanding the capabilities of an MFP beyond print, copy, scan and fax with new use cases driven by customer business needs with HP Workpath.

Software-as-a-Service solutions that enable modern workflows allow employees to access information anytime, anywhere, and by integrating the technologies used in their personal and professional lives, organisations can create a digital workplace.

Whether you use a cloud surface such as Google Drive, One Drive or Microsoft SharePoint or industry specific solutions such as Cleo, Sage, or iManage, HP Workpath apps enable digital workflows that can create efficiencies across your business.

MANY WORKFLOW PROCESSES STILL BEGIN WITH PAPER

These are a few examples …

As a nurse, I need to scan my patient’s lab results and attach them to their medical record.

As a lawyer, I need to scan physical evidence related to my client and attach it to case records.

As a teacher, I need to scan a test and attach it to a student file.

As an HR specialist, I need to scan employee IDs and HR forms when onboarding new employees.

THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT YOUR PRINTER

Workpath apps make it easier and quicker to work at the MFP.

Connect written homework assignments with a class gradebook.
Integrate x-rays, MRIs, and lab results into patient charting systems.
Attach scanned receipts to expense accounting systems.
Route financial documents to core baking and record management systems.

Unlimited possibilities to enhance the usage of MFPs such as, mobile payments app, shipping solutions that weight parcels and print customised postage label, 3D scanners, climate control for offices and motion detectors.

CREATIVE INTUITIVE USER EXPERIENCES, GREATER EFFICIENCIES

Reducing the number of workflow steps and a single sign-on, Workpath apps can save time and money. Also helping to improve users’ ability to quickly search for their digital content and send files electronically.

Making it easier for users to convert paper into digital content helps organisations to accelerate digitisation. Improving access to content while simplifying document processing supports today’s mobile workforce.
DESIGNED FOR SECURITY

Before an app is made available on the Workpath platform, it must pass HP verification and validation processes. Before being added to the app library for HP MFPs, the world’s most secure printers.v

Automatic app updates from the cloud ensure access to the latest versions and security updates, which also helps to minimise overall app administration – saving you time and money.

Workpath apps are protected by robust security measures such as, dynamic whitelisting, HP Sure Start-protected platform or Card and OpenID integration.

HP WORKFLOW APPS CAN STREAMLINE WORKFLOWS

Streamline processes for connecting paper documents to digital workflows. Apps are integrated into the MFP touchscreen much like mobile device apps. Instead of relying on a computer to connect paper documentation with software, the MFP can now act as an efficient go-between and dramatically simplify workflow processes. Users can send scanned images to their chosen repository, or print documents right from the MFP control panel.

Customised apps improve the customer experience. The workpath app workflow:

1.Authenticate at the device

2.Select app

3.Scan the document into the automated digital workflow.

CLOUD MODEL CUSTOMER BENEFITS

1. Always secure. You can trust that your app hasn’t been modified with HP’s online security validation and whitelisting. Count on containerised applications with managed updates.

2. Always connected. Your information is always accessible, even when you’re working in a different location

TRANSFORMING FOR TODAY AND THE FUTURE

The Workpath app platform enables organisations to transform their shared MFP into an asset that adds functionality for the entire team or department. Not only are Workpath apps enhancing the traditional uses of the printer, they are evolving and shaping the printer’s future much as smartphones have shaped the uses of the telephone.

By creating app interfaces at the MFP that are similar to the mobile app experience, HP devices can offer the type of user experience that today’s diverse workforce expects.
