Jotun - Enterprise deployment methods (Microsoft Azure) and migration processes delivered using agile working.
Situation
Jotun had already started on a journey of digital transformation when they realized the need to extend that to their enterprise print needs. Their legacy Windows 2008 servers were about to be deprecated by Microsoft.
The need was urgent, but they wanted a best-of-breed cloud solution that was future proofed and worked within an Azure environment. Jotun chose Printix cloud print management service to replace its on-premise Windows server with a serverless cloud infrastructure.
The need was across all of Jotun’s global sites: remove their dependency on print servers while maintaining a seamless and easy user experience.
The Solution
Kjersti took the challenge of moving from legacy servers to the cloud, head on, ensuring that the right people were in the right place at the right time. Jotun’s Norwegian IT Infrastructure partner, Atea, recommended Jotun explore replacing Windows Server 2008 with the serverless, cloud print management service from Printix.
Once established as the solution of choice, the team at Printix worked in a highly collaborative and agile way with Jotun and implementation partner Atea.Printix’s vast experience in migration to an Azure AD environment using Single Sign On (SSO) for serverless cloud print management, made the transition seamless.
Kjersti’s expertise in driving the project forward and creating cohesion across the stakeholders was an important need for success across a large and distributed install base. A comprehensive statement of work, provided by Printix, ensured timely and efficient delivery of the project.
Enterprise deployment methods and migration processes were managed using agile working. Regular cross-company scrum calls were key to deliver a fast and easy install.
Outcomes
Printix has a number of features that can be configured, out-of-the-box, as internal use of the system matures. Jotun plans to use the Printix ‘Secure Print’ option, which allows the use of a mobile app to release a print, ensuring more control when printing sensitive information.
Jotun also plans to use the new feature in the pipeline from Printix, ‘Site-Manager’, that allows for multi-site management across dispersed sites using an easy to use graphical interface.
Tungsten Printix was chosen to provide one of the U.S.’s most prestigious museums with cloud print management services to reduce cost and provide easy and secure print management.
