In recent weeks we’ve been showcasing how print and scanning technology can help drive transformation, modernise ways of working, and ensuring your devices are properly secured.

But what does this look like in practice? For Kenley Warehousing and Distribution, drivers were visiting the office once a week to scan in PODs, which meant a delay in invoices, payments and tracking of goods.

The solution:

Brother’s mobile scanners can be kept in the drivers cab, meaning once delivery has happened the POD can be instantly scanned in and sent to the office.

The results:

• Almost instant invoices emailed to the customers
• Instant proof of delivery
• Improved cash flow

Print security has become a critical issue for business today. Due to an increased number of security threats, as well as legislation regarding privacy and data security, organisations need to focus on strategies for securing their printing functions.

According to Infosource, there were approximately 36 million printers and multifunction printing devices in use in Western Europe at the beginning of 2017. Considering most printing devices are also connected to a network, and are just as susceptible to malware and hacker attacks as computers, this equates to a significant threat to security.

Sensitive documents and information are regularly printed, and documents often remain unprotected in output trays long after print jobs have been completed. Printers may also store information that can be recalled or intercepted inappropriately, and have the potential to facilitate access to the wider network. They need to be managed and protected, just like the rest of the IT infrastructure.

This white paper from Brother explores why printers need to be managed and protected, just like the rest of the IT infrastructure.

To help mark Cybersecurity Awareness Month, our partners Barracuda have been looking into some bad tech habits.

From setting strong passwords, keeping software updated, recognising phishing attacks, and other basic measures that underpin cybersecurity, it’s all solid advice. And it’s not just passwords and patching, humans have an unerring ability to ignore other technical advice even when they know it’s right.

Perhaps if we understood why, we could more clearly see our way round password security.

 Read this article from Barracuda to find out what we can learn from the tech advice we never listen to.

Digital business demands are accelerating, and IT complexity is rising in response.

Organisations face an increasing number of systems which require real-time and continuous optimisation that relies on human intervention. Skilled infrastructure personnel are in high demand and becoming scarce. IT infrastructure must, therefore, become more intelligent and provide enough self-optimising capabilities to meet increased demands and free up personnel.

Intelligent infrastructure is designed to replace people-driven activities, which can be extensive, time consuming, costly, risky, and reliant on tribal knowledge with intelligent data-driven technologies that are validated, proven, integrated, and repeatable. This does not mean that people are replaced. Automation, and, specifically, autonomous AI-driven operations, close the skills gap, reduce operating expenses, and enable IT to focus on delivering agile services and responding to changes on demand.
