Disaster recovery testing gives you confidence that your strategy is going to work when you need it most.

It's like American boxing legend Mike Tyson once said... "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." It's a raw but effective reminder to test plans to prepare for the pressure moments. You can have the most well-laid-out disaster recovery plan (DRP), but what good is it if it doesn’t work when disaster strikes?

Enter PaperCut: a powerful print management solution designed to secure your print devices, streamline your workflows, and cut unnecessary costs. 

It’s been said that "the little things matter. Often, they matter the most.”

Printing may seem insignificant when shoved alongside big-time topics like security and cost control… but it shouldn’t. Unsecured print environments put your sensitive data at risk, while unmanaged printing leads to waste and unnecessary expenses.

The imageFORCE series incorporates OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) D2 exposure technology, which enhances print quality through improved light efficiency and precise exposure control.

The potential for an elevated, super productive printing experience has never been greater.

The Canon imageFORCE series (beginning with the imageFORCE C7165)  is designed to keep up with the evolving needs of businesses—offering high performance, intuitive operation, and powerful security features. Whether you're handling everyday printing or tackling more specialized jobs, these devices provide a seamless and efficient experience.

If your provider doesn’t have a solid review process for invoices before they’re sent, errors can slip through. This often happens in companies with understaffed or overwhelmed billing departments. 

In life and in business, there’s perhaps nothing more frustrating than repeating the same error over and over again.

Hold that thought. Inaccurate invoicing can be pretty frustrating for you, too. So, when your copier provider continues to send invoices that are either indecipherable or just flat-out wrong, it can put a major dent in the long-term partnership… regardless of the actual equipment performance.

If you’re burdened by tedious paperwork and business processes that lag, leveraging human resources automation via content management can give you the resources to get back to the humans you’re serving every day.

Anyone in Human Resources can expand on the many HR-related challenges today: Attracting top talent, change management, new-hire training, managing diversity, equity, and inclusion, employee engagement, and retention, to name a few.

If everyday printing functionality is frustrating, or if controlling costs is cumbersome, print management is a viable solution for both higher education and K-12 environments.

As an administrator, do you often feel like your school has overspent on print?

Among the many core objectives of any K-12 district or higher education institution, one dual component of most schools’ goals is to maximize the student experience while minimizing wasteful spending, at all “costs.”

The point is this: Purchasing a copier for the first time (and the proceeding times) can be a daunting task. We're here to help you avoid venturing down the copier procurement process with your proverbial shoes untied. 

We're all prone to a few rookie mistakes now and again.

Take Baltimore Orioles rookie outfielder Colton Cowser earlier this season. After teammate and veteran reliever Kimbrel's milestone, record-tying save to end the game, Colton caught the final out and promptly fired the ball into the fountains beyond the outfield wall at Kauffman Stadium. Sheepishly, he was forced to find a ballpark employee to help retrieve the ball from the bottom of the fountain so he could return it to Kimbrel.

Cloud-based faxing provides a security, efficient, and scalable solution that modernizes an organization’s communication processes.

Fax isn’t dead. It’s just reinventing itself.

According to cloud-based fax service provider eGoldFax, the wholesale move from traditional faxing to cloud-based services is tremendous. Recent reports, they suggest, predict that faxing services are growing at 11 percent per year and look to be a 5.6 billion dollar market worldwide by 2028.

Your organization’s security – including print security – should have its own well-defined persona because, frankly, procedures, solutions, and strategies are great but people are complicated.

We can all agree that as we peek ahead into 2024, cyber security was, is, and will remain a huge priority for businesses today. But are you and your employees all on the same page on how we get there? That's an entirely different question.

A proficient IT administrator derives satisfaction from automating tasks to enhance productivity, responsiveness ... and positivity.

IT staff fatigue is a real thing. It’s an issue often explored in  Nexthink's Pulse Report. Back in May 2020, we learned that 43% of IT leaders cited increasing support tickets as their biggest challenge since the start of the pandemic. “Since then,” reads the report, “70% of tech leaders we polled said their ticket and call volume continue to spike, with a majority of those reporting increases up to 50%."
