Canon Solutions for Your Remote Work Needs

 

Core ITS provides companies – small businesses to multinational organizations – with a virtual IT department. It focuses on three areas: service and network security; backup and disaster recovery; and end-user support. Core ITS offers round-the-clock network monitoring, allowing users to focus solely on their business operations. With cybersecurity top of mind, Core ITS security services detect malware, file-less attacks, suspicious activity and other potential network threats to keep systems safe, even when workers are all under different roofs.

 

Scan, capture, sort and index documents as fully searchable files with IRISPowerscan. Users can import from any format (e.g., scanners, multifunction devices, watched folders, emails, cloud); the software verifies data, and then exports it to a chosen document format to any destination (e.g., applications, folders, cloud). IRISPowerscan is impeccably accurate at indexing key data, thanks to its award-winning OCR engine. Employees may work remotely, but with this ability to easily retrieve and share documents, they will be in the same space virtually.

 

In its standard tabletop formation, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 527iF equips work-from-home employees with the same tools they would use at the office. The black-and-white multifunction printer produces up to 55 pages per minute, and scans and converts documents to searchable digital files in a variety of file formats. Due to its MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) compatibility, the device has the ability to integrate with many Canon and third-party software solutions, including uniFLOW Online and Canon PRINT Business. For IT departments, it’s easy and intuitive to manage fleets from afar, including managing settings and implementing security policies.

Canon large format printing solutions can help you outfit your office to stay open safely. The Colorado Series is ideal for printing signage, floor graphics and roll-up banners. Output is immediately dry and ready to be processed, meaning it can be laminated the minute it comes off the machine. The newest addition, the Colorado 1630, was designed for sign makers and in-house printers with lower-volume needs, the Colorado 1650 for higher volumes. Canon’s Remote-Control app is available to monitor all printers in the series (which also includes the Colorado 1640). This application allows users to check the printer status remotely, helping them monitor operations and output from multiple office locations.

 

The imagePROGRAF product line includes models for production signage, infographics and posters, and general use markets (as well as for professional photography and fine art and technical documents). The imagePROGRAF PRO Series features the LUCIA PRO ink system for enhanced overall colour performance and consistent colour reproduction, important for those printing signage for more than one office. The multipurpose TA Series was designed for first-time large-format print users and is ideal for posters and designs. All imagePROGRAF printers include Canon’s free poster creation software, PosterArtist Lite. Customers can download templates to print signage and posters highlighting COVID-19 safety guidelines. Users can also personalize templates to include their brand name and messaging, or even create their own images. The software includes templates ideal for wall and floor displays.

 

With Canon’s Secure Entry Tracking (SET), users can automate their pre-screening procedures for staff and visitors. SET is comprised of two parts. The software component, Therefore Check-in Online, allows people to check in virtually before physically setting foot in a facility. They use their own smartphones, PCs or tablets to answer an online questionnaire about their health status prior to arrival. The software automatically calculates the results and confirms if the person is permitted to enter the office. The hardware component, TASK (Temperature and Advanced Screening Kiosk), is an automated thermal temperature screening and facial recognition kiosk. If TASK detects an abnormal reading or someone not wearing a mask, it sends multiple alerts: an audio signal (for example, “no mask” or “abnormal temperature”); a visual signal (both the interface and the live dashboard flashes red); and an email notification to the customer’s designated recipient. Therefore captures this alert and keeps it in the system for future contact tracing purposes.

 

With imageRUNNER ADVANCE Remote Operation, users take control of their multifunction device with their smartphone or tablet. Scanning the QR code on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE duplicates the control panel on a mobile device. Users can then copy documents, scan and send them to email or network folders, and release print jobs in their queue all without touching the MFP.

Canon designed the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX Series to accelerate and support customers in their digital transformation journey. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX Series meets the everyday needs of small- and medium-size businesses. The colour multifunction devices allow users to not only efficiently process their output at the office – print up to 70 pages per minute; scan up to 270 images per minute – but also easily digitize documents to be readily accessible remotely another day. uniFLOW Online Express, which comes standard on all models, delivers cloud connectivity to help maintain productivity wherever one’s office is on a given day.

 

uniFLOW Online extends that functionality by adding My Print Anywhere. The pull print functionality enables print jobs to follow users from one device to another regardless of the make and model. Add Print via Cloud to enable more flexibility on where a job is stored to support different departments’ requirements, including environments with many devices, multiple locations and remote workers. On its own, this cloud-output management platform provides enhanced security features that support employees across disperse locations.

 

Therefore Online, a document capture and workflow software, allows users to transform manual, paper-based business processes into automated, digital workflows. With the click of a mouse – or the touch of a tablet – employees can instantly capture, archive, retrieve, edit and process documents. Employees can access information remotely through three methods:

  • Therefore Web Access, which enables full functionality via any web browser;
  • Therefore Mobile App, which offers search and view functionalities via a mobile device; and
  • Therefore Anywhere, which allows users to take documents offline for editing. Once reconnected to the network, all changes synchronize to the system.
