At Principal, our mission has always been to help organisations reduce costs, streamline their operations and simplify technology through intelligent print management. But in today’s workplace, printing is only one part of a much bigger picture. Modern businesses also rely heavily on fast, secure and reliable communications networks to stay connected.
To support this wider need, we work closely with our sister company 4th Platform, a trusted communications and connectivity specialist. Together, we offer businesses a powerful combination of services that extends far beyond print, helping them build fully integrated and future-ready technology environments.
4th Platform focuses on delivering advanced communications and IT solutions that enable organisations to work more efficiently. Their expertise includes cloud telephony, unified communications, connectivity and networking, IT security, and managed support services.
Their goal is to help businesses modernise the way they connect and communicate, while ensuring everything is secure, resilient and scalable. Whether it’s implementing a new phone system, improving network performance or managing IT infrastructure, 4th Platform provides the technology foundation that supports modern ways of working.
When you bring together Principal’s print management expertise with 4th Platform’s communications and IT services, you create a complete solution that covers every part of your organisation’s technology environment.
Principal ensures your print setup is secure, cost effective and optimised. This includes managed print solutions, print audits, security controls, and ongoing support. Alongside this, 4th Platform provides the essential infrastructure that keeps your business connected. Their cloud telephony and unified communications services support flexible working, while their network and connectivity solutions ensure that all your systems run smoothly.
By combining these services, your print devices and your communication tools work in harmony. 4th Platform’s network and security measures help to protect data and keep systems reliable, while Principal’s print solutions reduce waste, improve workflows and support sustainability goals. Their managed support services add another layer of value, giving you reliable help and maintenance across your entire technology stack.
Partnering with Principal and 4th Platform together gives you a smarter and more strategic way to manage your business technology. Instead of dealing with multiple suppliers, you benefit from one coordinated partnership.
This approach makes billing and support simpler, reduces the risk of gaps between systems and improves overall security. It also creates opportunities to plan your infrastructure more intelligently. For example, network strategies can be aligned with print and telephony needs, helping to deliver better performance and more efficient use of resources.
Importantly, this partnership is built to scale with your organisation. As your business grows, or if you adopt new technologies, both Principal and 4th Platform can adapt their services to support your evolving requirements. Whether you are expanding office locations, introducing hybrid working or looking to strengthen security, the combination of our services provides the flexibility and stability you need.
If you want to build a more connected, efficient and future focused workplace, Principal and 4th Platform can help you get there. Together, we offer a single, integrated approach to print, communications and IT that reduces complexity and supports your business goals.
