MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As a result of its
high-quality products and advanced security features, Canon
U.S.A., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, is proud to announce the company has been
awarded a new contract with the State of Texas Department of
Information Resources (DIR). This contract, # DIR-CPO-4437, covers
Canon's full line of imageRUNNER ADVANCE, imageCLASS, imageFORMULA,
imagePRESS and varioPRINT solutions and services.
The Texas DIR contract provides state and local government
entities, as well as educational institutions in Texas and outside of Texas, with fast, cost-effective means to
procure solutions from leading vendors. This contract leverages the
buying power of the State of Texas
and delivers access to hundreds of products and services at volume
pricing. Although the DIR-CPO-4437 is held through Canon
U.S.A., the company's network of
authorized dealers provide the sales and services.
With the increased threat of cyberattacks that target sensitive
information, securing data is more important than ever before. The
Texas DIR contract was awarded to Canon due, in part, to the
comprehensive security capabilities and features of Canon's devices
and software solutions. This technology can equip Texas state government, education and local
government entities with the tools needed to help secure
information, protect against threats, comply with security policies
and integrate with network activity monitoring designed to help the
customer quickly identify and address suspicious activity.
"Receiving a contract from the Texas Department of Information
Resources is a great accomplishment for Canon as it highlights the
company's successful robust product portfolio and pricing," said
Shinichi Yoshida, executive vice
president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Covering an array of the
company's high-quality, efficient solutions, from enterprise-level
to software services and solutions, this contract showcases our
dedication to innovation across a diverse amount of solutions and
advanced security features."
