MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Understanding
that future enterprises will aim to boost employee productivity
through flexible workflow solutions, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, launches its third-generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE
2nd edition lineup, a refresh of the three-time BLI Line
of the Year award-winning platform.
"We have a clear vision to support the Office of the Future, as
evident through the refresh of our imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform,"
says Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general
manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Our goal is to leverage our
strong technology and relationships to help organizations transform
their workflow processes into ones that can better support employee
flexibility while simultaneously helping to protect confidential
information."
Simplify
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform refresh features newly standard
security capabilities to better support the Office of the Future.
The models will offer cloud-based functionality, including
authentication, dashboard reporting, and basic scan-to-cloud
features when activated1. It will additionally
afford clients the capability to add additional cloud-based
features that come to market from Canon and its partners in the
future.
Control
In the world of IoT, security risks are increasing in the
evolving workplace – and now more than ever, it is imperative that
businesses have procedures to help protect their confidential
information.
The third-generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE 2nd edition
lineup incorporates four key security features as standard that
were previously optional: Encrypted Secure Print, Secure Watermark,
Encrypted PDF, and Device Digital Signature PDF functionality to
help with security surrounding your information.
Evolve
IT decision makers are challenged in figuring out how to better
protect and manage their data, with 68 percent of those surveyed
stating that boosting profitability and productivity will be the
key benefit of cloud's role in transforming business processes over
the next two to five years2. The new imageRUNNER
ADVANCE models incorporate cloud authentication and security
features at the MFP level for this reason. In the future, Canon
plans to continue to offer technologies that can help users
automate and streamline their future workspace.
Availability*
The third generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE 2nd edition
models will soon be available through Canon authorized dealer
channels, beginning with the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3500 II Series
and the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C356iF II Series3.
