Over the last few months, 3D printing has dramatically changed the way the world looks at 3D printing and its capabilities. That’s why Y Soft and our 3D print partner, 3D Vinci Creations, Dubai’s largest 3D printing bureau, decided to visit the world’s first fully functioning 3D printed building, named Office of the Future.

Central Europe continues to grow its community of entreprenuers. Recognizing the talent, ambitions and support these young companies need, Y Soft Ventures continues to invest in interesting technology. Today, Y Soft Ventures announced an investment of USD 2.3 million in two new Czech-based technology companies -- GreyCortex and Lumitrix, both having far-reaching global business potential.

Has this every happened to you? While at work, you print a document, head over to the printer only to find that someone accidentally picked up your document with theirs? It's not a big deal, you just print it again. (For your company it is costly and Y Soft has solutions for that!). Imagine if it wasn't a document that printed out in 2 minutes but rather a 3D object that took 5 hours to print. Costs, in terms of time and materials, make this a much bigger problem.

Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, is certainly not a new concept but many mature industries, such as the print and document imaging industry, are slower than others to adopt it. But savvy customers who are looking for ways to efficient manage infrastructure and operating costs see the benefits.  

As more and more employees work on mobile device, often on several different types and brands, our industry needs to provide users an easy, consistent way to print from these devices. Users don't want to think about how to do it. They just want to work efficiently and conveniently.   

You may have heard the saying “No one ever got fired for buying IBM”. It meant that making a decision to use IBM equipment was a safe choice. As IT managers, you need to feel confident that choosing a print management and workflow provider not only provides the features you need at a price that makes sense, but also provides support and continuous innovation well after the sale is made.

There are a lot of considerations customers must ask themselves when considering a print management solution as part of a Managed Print Services (MPS) contract or even as a standalone solution.
