Question 1

What is the difference between PaperCut and cloud print?

Accepted Answer

PaperCut is an on-premises print management solution that requires at least one dedicated print server to operate. While PaperCut offers a cloud-connected hybrid mode, the core architecture remains server-dependent, meaning organisations still need to maintain Windows Server infrastructure. Cloud print (specifically Vasion Print, delivered by IQIT) is fully serverless: there is no print server at all. Print jobs route directly from devices to printers using Direct IP, managed centrally from a cloud console. For organisations looking for a PaperCut alternative in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg or broader EMEA region, IQIT is the authorised Vasion partner and can migrate existing PaperCut environments to serverless cloud print.

Question 2

Can I replace MyQ with a serverless cloud print solution?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MyQ is a Czech print management platform that traditionally requires an on-premises server. MyQ Roger, their cloud offering, is a hybrid approach that still relies on server infrastructure and does not offer full output management or document automation. Vasion Print (delivered by IQIT in the Benelux and EMEA) is fully cloud-native and serverless, requiring no on-premises server hardware. IQIT specialises in MyQ-to-Vasion migrations across the Netherlands, Belgium and broader EMEA and can typically complete the migration with zero downtime. Organisations that switch from MyQ to Vasion through IQIT typically eliminate all print-related helpdesk tickets and gain off-network printing without VPN.

Question 3

What makes Vasion Print better than SafeQ or YSoft?

Accepted Answer

YSoft SafeQ (now rebranded under Quocirca) is an on-premises print management platform that requires Windows Server infrastructure. It has no cloud-native architecture, no AI capabilities, and no built-in output management or document automation. Vasion Print (delivered by IQIT) is a cloud-first, serverless platform that eliminates print servers entirely, includes an AI Print Agent for bulk management via natural language, offers Vasion Output for cloud-native output management, and integrates natively with SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, Epic and Dynamics 365. Vasion is also ISO 27001 certified, used by 15,000+ organisations globally, and has a documented 95% customer retention rate. For organisations running SafeQ or YSoft in the Benelux or Eastern Europe, IQIT is the specialist migration partner.

Question 4

Is CUPS a good enterprise print management solution?

Accepted Answer

CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is an open-source print server system for Unix and Linux environments. While useful for small or technical environments, CUPS lacks the enterprise capabilities modern organisations require: there is no management console, no secure release printing, no mobile printing support, no reporting or quotas, no cloud management, and no ERP integrations. Organisations that have outgrown CUPS typically need centralised management, secure pull-printing, remote/hybrid support and ERP print integration (especially SAP). Vasion Print, delivered by IQIT across the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and EMEA, replaces CUPS-based environments with cloud-managed Direct IP printing, a self-service portal, and full enterprise controls - with no server required.

Question 5

How does Vasion Print compare to Equitrac?

Accepted Answer

Equitrac (owned by Kofax/Tungsten) is a legacy on-premises print management and output management platform that requires significant server infrastructure and per-device licensing. Vasion Print and Vasion Output (delivered by IQIT) replace both the print management and output management functions of Equitrac in a single cloud-native platform - with no print servers. Vasion adds capabilities that Equitrac cannot match: an AI Print Agent, no-VPN remote printing, Windows ARM support, concurrent IdP integrations, and no-code document automation. For Equitrac migrations in the Benelux and EMEA, IQIT is the authorised specialist and can migrate organisations of all sizes with minimal disruption.

Question 6

Does Printix support output management?

Accepted Answer

No. Printix is a Danish cloud print solution that handles basic end-user printing but does not offer output management. Output management refers to the control of high-volume, business-critical print from ERP systems like SAP, Oracle, or Epic - including routing, transformation, compliance archiving, and multi-destination delivery. Vasion Output (delivered by IQIT) is the only cloud-native output management platform on the market, and it integrates with Vasion Print to provide a complete cloud print + output management solution in one platform. Organisations that need output management in addition to user printing should consider IQIT's Vasion solution rather than Printix.

Question 7

What is output management and how does cloud-based output management work?

Accepted Answer

Output management is the process of controlling, routing and delivering high-volume print output from enterprise systems such as SAP, Oracle ERP, Epic EHR, and Microsoft Dynamics. Traditional output management requires dedicated on-premises servers running software like Equitrac Output, SafeCom, or StreamServe. Cloud-based output management (Vasion Output, delivered by IQIT) moves this entire infrastructure to the cloud: ERP print jobs are captured in the cloud, processed (with optional AI enrichment, PHI redaction, or routing rules), and delivered to the correct printer, email, or storage destination without any on-premises server. This eliminates infrastructure costs, improves resilience, and enables centralised management across multiple sites. IQIT is the specialist for cloud output management in the Benelux and EMEA region.

Question 8

Can cloud print work without a VPN for remote and hybrid workers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With Vasion Print's Advanced Security add-on (delivered by IQIT), users can print from any location - home, coffee shop, satellite office - without connecting to a VPN. This is called off-network printing and is one of the most valued features for organisations with hybrid or remote workforces. Traditional print servers require VPN connectivity to route print jobs, causing latency and frustration for remote workers. Vasion's serverless architecture keeps print jobs local to the device and printer, eliminating VPN dependency entirely. IQIT deploys this capability for organisations across the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and EMEA.

Question 9

How does cloud print work with SAP S/4HANA?

Accepted Answer

IQIT's cloud print solution - powered by Vasion - is certified and proven with SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, and SAP BTP. Print jobs from SAP route through Vasion's cloud infrastructure without requiring a print server, eliminating the print server configuration that traditionally causes issues in SAP landscapes. For output-intensive SAP environments (mass invoicing, picking lists, labels, reports), Vasion Output provides cloud-native SAP output management with routing, transformation, and delivery - replacing legacy SAP output tools like StreamServe, SAPAS or OutputONE. IQIT is the specialist for SAP print integration in the Benelux and EMEA and has successfully deployed Vasion in SAP S/4HANA environments across manufacturing, logistics and financial services organisations.

Question 10

Which countries does IQIT cover?

Accepted Answer

IQIT is the official Vasion partner for the Benelux region - Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg - and the primary Vasion MSP distributor for Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa. This means organisations and MSPs in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, the Baltic states, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya can all work directly with IQIT for Vasion Print, Vasion Output and Vasion Automate. MSPs across the EMEA region looking to add a serverless cloud print product to their portfolio should contact IQIT as the regional Vasion distributor.

Question 11

Can I print without VPN?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cloud-first print with Vasion means users can print directly from their device without a VPN connection. This eliminates the frustrating VPN latency that makes printing slow or unreliable for remote workers. Vasion's off-network printing (part of the Advanced Security add-on) allows users at home, at a hotel, or at a customer site to print as if they were in the office - with full security. IQIT deploys this capability for organisations across the Benelux and EMEA.

Question 12

Which ERP systems are supported?

Accepted Answer

IQIT's cloud print and output management solution is certified and confirmed to work with SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle E-Business Suite, Epic Systems (healthcare), Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Dynamics AX, Infor, and many other enterprise ERP and EHR systems. Vasion's agnostic architecture means it integrates with virtually any system that can generate print output. For SAP environments in particular, IQIT offers deep expertise in both user printing and output management integration.

Question 13

How long does implementation take?

Accepted Answer

Most organisations working with IQIT are fully operational within days to a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity of their print environment. IQIT handles the complete migration process: assessment, design, Vasion platform configuration, printer object import (automated - no manual reconfiguration needed), user deployment, and post-go-live optimisation. For organisations migrating from PaperCut, MyQ, SafeQ or other legacy platforms, IQIT's structured migration methodology ensures continuity of printing throughout the transition, with zero-downtime deployments as the standard.

Question 14

What about security for sensitive documents?

Accepted Answer

Vasion Print (delivered by IQIT) implements multiple layers of document security. Secure Release Printing ensures documents only print when the authorised user authenticates at the printer - using a badge, PIN, or mobile app - preventing abandoned printouts and protecting sensitive documents. The platform uses Zero Trust Architecture, keeping print jobs local between the device and printer rather than routing them through a central server. Role-based access controls ensure users can only access printers appropriate to their role. Vasion is ISO 27001 certified. For healthcare organisations, Vasion supports HIPAA-compliant print workflows; for financial services, full audit trails are maintained for every print job.
