Everyone from the C-suite right across the spectrum is discussing how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies will impact their everyday personal and professional lives. It's a topic that can't be escaped and as IT directors look to where AI technologies should be initially deployed, Y Soft Corporation explains how its use in print management will improve security and maintenance. According to research from Vanson Bourne conducted in 2017, 80% of enterprises already have some form of AI in production and 30% of enterprises are planning on expanding their AI investments over the next 36 months. For enterprises with a large fleet of multi-functional devices (MFDs), this investment could see improvements in data leakage prevention and predict MFD failures, if placed into print management solutions says Ondrej Krajicek, Chief technology Strategist at Y Soft, a leading enterprise office solution provider. "AI technologies can be applied to print software in the first instance to improve decision making processes through the quality and expressiveness of managerial reports. "Through data gathered on how users are interacting with MFDs – what they are printing, how they are printing and how much they normally print – enterprises will be able to easily detect abnormalities in users' behaviours.
