Company launches services to help reduce printing in the workplace
Xerox is delivering three new solutions to move enterprises closer to a more digital, paper-less work environment envisioned decades ago. “Printing less isn’t just about using less paper – it’s about working smarter, improving productivity, connecting with clients faster and using data to bolster business,” said Mike Feldman, president, Large Enterprise Operations, Xerox. “At first thought, we may be an unlikely source to say ‘print less’, but we bridge the digital and paper worlds to help enterprises better understand, protect and use information more intelligently.”
Xerox’s Digital Alternatives is a simple desktop and mobile assistant technology that automates paper-based workflows that exist within any large organization. The secure, intuitive interface can be deployed across Microsoft Windows-based PCs and Apple iPad tablets. Since work is no longer a place, Xerox Digital Alternatives synchronizes documents automatically on most personal devices for use by mobile employees.
Real-time analytics of the document cycle also give enterprises insight on how to better manage their migration from paper-based working to digital. Printed documents, such as marketing and sales materials, remain important, but a growing number of businesses want content delivered in electronic formats too. With Xerox ePublishing Services, clients can do both by using a common document processing workflow.
To help enterprises reduce their carbon footprint and motivate employees to do their part, Xerox’s Research Centre Europe created Xerox Print Awareness Tool– a patented system that actively encourages workers to be more environmentally responsible.
Xerox has also formed two new strategic partnerships with Hyland and Datawatch to accelerate the migration of paper to digital for government, retail, healthcare, insurance and financial services industries.
