Which example falls under the Optimize Infrastructure tier of the HP imaging and printing strategy?

Question

Options

• Aproviding scalability via secure printing solutions
• Bidentifying solutions to manage the imaging and printing fleet
• Cconsolidating imaging and printing devices
• Didentifying and streamlining paper-intensive workflows

• B
  5% (1)
• C
  90% (18)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

Consolidating imaging and printing devices (C) is correct because the Optimize Infrastructure tier focuses on rationalizing the physical fleet - reducing device count, standardizing hardware, and eliminating redundancy to lower costs and improve efficiency. It's an infrastructure-level action: you're reshaping what exists, not managing or transforming it.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (secure printing solutions) belongs to the Security tier, which addresses protecting data and controlling print access, not consolidating hardware.
• B (identifying solutions to manage the fleet) aligns with the Managed Services/Assess tier, which is about discovery and oversight, not optimization.
• D (streamlining paper-intensive workflows) fits the Optimize Workflows tier, which targets document and process efficiency, not the device infrastructure itself.

Memory tip: Think of "infrastructure" as the physical layer - if the action involves touching, reducing, or reshaping the actual devices on the floor, it's Optimize Infrastructure. Workflows are about how work flows; security is about who can print what; management is about watching and controlling the fleet.
