Hewlett-Packard Australia announced as laser market leader


Hewlett-Packard (HP) announced it has achieved the number one position in the laser print market in Australia, according to the latest results provided by leading analyst firm, International Data Corporation (IDC) 1

 
This is in a very positive market which saw the overall laser hardware market across Australia experience growth of 33 per cent year on year from 2009 to 2010, driven by growth in the small business category 2.
 
“HP offer small and medium businesses the most innovative laser print offering, particularly with the industry leading HP ePrint LaserJet printer range,” said Richard Bailey, Vice President, Imaging and Printing Group, HP South Pacific. “HP’s range addresses the needs of these customers by providing them with useful technology innovations such as HP ePrint and HP Print Apps, which is reflected by IDC results with HP ranked number one.”
 
HP ePrint and HP Print Apps offer LaserJet users increased mobile efficiency in business
 
HP ePrint allows small businesses to better streamline their business processes, by offering the ability to print and share quality work in an instant, and cutting back on the time spent on administrative tasks while away from the office. Having the ability to print high-quality, fast presentations, invoices and work documents while on the road means improved productivity for their business.
HP Print Apps also offers small businesses the option to print up-to-date content from the web without a PC. Available directly on the printer’s touchscreen display, businesses can access content such as:
 
—  Yahoo!7 Daily Brief Australia’s first daily news Print App allows direct access and print for local news and headlines, as well as Yahoo! Calendars, to share calendars in daily, weekly or monthly views.
 
—  Google Docs for easy document scanning to the web for printing at a later time.
 
—  Box.net to scan, share, manage and access business content online.
 
—  Biztree for immediate access to business forms such as invoices, contracts, receipts, legal agreements and checklists.

HP LaserJets provide customers the tools for impactful communications
 
The IDC results also ranked HP in the number one position in the colour laser print market3.
 
“We have seen tremendous growth not only in our overall laser business, but also in the colour laser segment,” said Bailey. “HP offers these businesses superior quality, affordable and fast colour laser printing for in house professional printing together with industry-leading ePrint technology for mobile access from anywhere in the world.”
