About Pharos Blueprint
An on-premises print management platform for enterprise and higher education. It provides secure release printing, cost tracking, and centralized fleet management to optimize print workflows and reduce infrastructure overhead.
Pharos Blueprint is a robust, ISO 27001-certified on-premises print management platform designed for large, complex enterprise and higher education environments. It focuses on securing print workflows, reducing operational costs, and providing IT teams with centralized visibility into their multi-vendor printer fleets. The platform excels in environments where security and cost accountability are paramount, offering features like secure pull-printing, detailed analytics, and policy-based print rules. While it is an on-premises solution, it is designed to integrate with modern IT ecosystems and provides a clear migration path to Pharos Cloud for organizations looking to modernize their infrastructure. Buyers should note that implementation requires careful network planning, and the platform is best suited for organizations with complex, distributed print needs rather than small, simple environments.
