If you've ever sat in a planning meeting trying to reconcile three separate vendor contracts, one for your printer fleet, one for your laptops, and one for your video conferencing gear, you already know the headache. Different support lines, different update cycles, different security policies, and perhaps most frustratingly, different invoices landing on your desk every month.
That is the problem HP and SmartPrint are trying to solve. HP does it through OneHP. SmartPrint makes it operational with SmartPrint 360.
What Is OneHP?
OneHP is HP’s unified approach to workplace technology, bringing together three core pillars under one connected framework:
- Print services, cloud-connected printers, and document workflows
- Personal systems including HP laptops, desktops, and workstations
- Poly audio and video collaboration solutions
The concept may sound simple, but the execution is what makes OneHP compelling for IT leaders. Rather than bundling unrelated products under one brand, OneHP is designed to create a connected IT ecosystem with:
- A shared management layer
- Consistent security policies
- Integrated workflows across devices
- Centralized visibility for IT teams
Think of OneHP less as a product suite and more as a complete workplace technology strategy.

How SmartPrint 360 Completes the OneHP Strategy
HP provides the technology platform. SmartPrint delivers the managed experience.
As one of HP’s leading managed print services partners in Canada, SmartPrint brings everything together through SmartPrint 360, a fully managed services model designed to simplify IT operations.
Instead of managing separate contracts and invoices for:
- Printers and print infrastructure
- Employee PCs and laptops
- Poly conferencing hardware
SmartPrint 360 consolidates everything into one predictable monthly service agreement.
That means:
- One vendor relationship
- One support structure
- One monthly invoice
- One unified IT experience
For CTOs, IT directors, and procurement teams, this is far more than billing convenience. It is a practical way to reduce vendor sprawl, lower administrative overhead, and improve operational efficiency.
The Real Problem OneHP and SmartPrint 360 Solve
Many organizations operate in fragmented IT environments. Printers are managed separately from endpoints, collaboration hardware lives in its own silo, and security policies vary from one platform to another.
This creates measurable business problems, including:
- Duplicated effort across IT teams
- Multiple management consoles
- Security inconsistencies across device categories
- Poor employee experience
- Limited cost visibility
- Reactive maintenance cycles
- Vendor management complexity
OneHP addresses technology fragmentation. SmartPrint 360 addresses operational fragmentation. Together, they create a more unified and scalable IT infrastructure.
Smarter Managed Print Services
Managed print services have evolved far beyond toner replacement.
With OneHP, printing becomes cloud-connected and secure, allowing employees to print from:
- Corporate offices
- Home offices
- Client locations
- Hybrid workspaces
Automated workflows reduce manual administration, while HP’s Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) gives IT administrators centralized visibility into printer fleets, including multi-vendor devices.
This unified monitoring approach helps organizations:
- Improve uptime
- Reduce manual support tickets
- Simplify device management
- Strengthen print security
SmartPrint 360 wraps devices, supplies, support, and maintenance into a single monthly service model, eliminating surprise expenses and simplifying budgeting.
Unified PC Management for Hybrid Work
Modern workforces operate everywhere. Employees move between home offices, corporate spaces, hot desks, and client sites daily.
HP laptops, desktops, and workstations within the OneHP ecosystem are designed for centralized management and secure remote support.
With SmartPrint 360, organizations benefit from:
- Pre-configured device deployment
- Centralized firmware management
- Consistent endpoint security policies
- Remote troubleshooting capabilities
- Lifecycle management from day one
HP’s latest EliteBook lineup also introduces AI-powered features and on-device AI processing capabilities, helping organizations prepare for the future of enterprise computing.
For IT teams supporting hybrid work environments, centralized device management becomes essential for scalability and efficiency.
Poly Collaboration Solutions That Actually Integrate
Video conferencing technology often introduces compatibility issues, firmware conflicts, and inconsistent user experiences.
Within the OneHP ecosystem, Poly collaboration solutions integrate directly with HP’s broader management framework, reducing operational friction.
Benefits include:
- Faster meeting startup times
- Simplified firmware management
- Better compatibility with Microsoft Teams and Zoom
- Improved room utilization analytics
- Centralized support and monitoring
Under SmartPrint 360, Poly hardware is managed within the same service agreement as your print and endpoint infrastructure, removing the need for separate support vendors.
Security Across the Entire IT Ecosystem
For IT leaders, cybersecurity cannot be isolated to laptops alone. Printers, collaboration hardware, and remote endpoints all represent potential attack surfaces.
OneHP applies consistent security policies across all connected device categories, helping organizations create a more unified security posture.
Key capabilities include:
- Firmware-level recovery for unbootable systems
- Remote remediation support
- Centralized security policy management
- Automated monitoring and alerts
- Continuous patch management
SmartPrint’s 24/7 managed services layer adds another level of oversight by proactively identifying risks before they become operational incidents.
In distributed and hybrid work environments, this type of integrated security management is becoming increasingly important.
What IT Teams Actually Gain
Beyond the platform messaging, OneHP and SmartPrint 360 deliver practical day-to-day benefits for IT departments.
One Invoice and One Vendor Relationship
Managing multiple vendors consumes time and resources. SmartPrint 360 simplifies procurement, support, and billing into one relationship.
Fewer Management Tools
A unified monitoring environment reduces complexity and gives IT teams clearer visibility into devices, performance, and support issues.
More Proactive IT Operations
Continuous monitoring helps resolve issues before users are impacted, including:
- Automated supply replenishment
- Security patching
- Device health monitoring
- Predictive maintenance
Better Business Intelligence
Unified analytics across print, PCs, and collaboration devices provide stronger insights into:
- Device utilization
- Employee productivity trends
- Refresh planning
- Infrastructure investment decisions
Easier Scalability
As organizations grow or expand into hybrid and cloud-first environments, the OneHP architecture and SmartPrint 360 service model scale without dramatically increasing IT overhead.
Which Organizations Benefit Most?
The OneHP and SmartPrint 360 approach is particularly valuable for:
- Mid-sized organizations
- Enterprise businesses
- Multi-location companies
- Hybrid work environments
- IT teams managing multiple vendors
