The Connected Workplace:
Unlocking the Potential with Samsung Print
The way we work today is
changing and our workplaces
are having to adapt to the ever
increasing demand for mobility.
Mobile devices and cloud based
productivity apps mean that
employees are connected to their
tasks and colleagues no matter
where they are or what time of day
it is. At the same time, businesses
are embracing big data, and
trying to figure out how they can
integrate the Internet of Things
into the workplace in order to
improve productivity, performance,
customer interactions, critical
decisions and revenue generation.
Becoming the Connected
Workplace
Transforming an office into a
Connected Workplace has moved
on from the days of Bring Your Own
Device and into the unlocking of
staff potential. Successful IT teams
will not just support, but anticipate
the various applications and service
needs as well as the devices to
support the business requirements.
Remote working, which has been
one of the most successful trends
over recent years, will be replaced

happier. Innovative tech companies
such as Google and Facebook are
leading the way with this by building
offices that bring their people
together in a more innovating and
effective way.

the cloud and the internet, the
Connected Workplace means that
not only will your office be able to
recognise that you are heading to
work, through your mobile phone,

completely set up for the day. The
office will automatically turn on your
desktop computer, inform you of
your schedule for the day, and print
off any documents you have been
updating while working remotely.
Everything Can Be Connected
The ability to connect any number
of things and applications together
to improve productivity is round the
corner and one area undergoing
major change to be part of the
Connected Workplace is printing.
Whilst print does still remain a
necessity for many businesses,
particularly large enterprises,
documents are undergoing a digital
transformation from traditional
paper to files displayed on-screen,
on mobile devices, and shared by
cloud services. At Samsung Print,
we are seeing a huge demand from
our customers and are working
with a number of specialists such
