Canon Australia has extended the industry’s first single
platform to manage print, scanning and copying processes to now also include
mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and netbooks.
Developed in partnership with customers in response to
specific business requirements, uniFLOW version 5.1 supports all internet-enabled mobile devices and enables jobs to be printed across a full range of
devices from desktop 7680 Printers through to Multi-Function Devices (MFDs).
“Recent research found that over half of workers using
smartphones can’t print from their device, but want to. There have been concerns with managing a
“Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) strategy, particularly around security and integration. With uniFLOW version 5.1, organisations can
now offer their employees flexible ways of working, including mobile printing
and printing from their devices on the go,” said Luke Maddison, Canon Australia
group manager, business marketing.
uniFLOW version 5.1 is unique in the market as not only does
it bring together the ability to scan, print and copy from one single
integrated platform but it now also extends the same security, cost control
safe guards and multi-vendor device finishing options to mobile devices.
“Australia has the second highest market penetration of
smartphones in the world. uniFLOW v5.1
helps businesses work more flexibly without compromising corporate security or
opening themselves up to unmanaged costs. It provides an effective solution to
optimise an organisation’s MFDs, remote printing for visitors or for their
employees,” concluded Maddison.
