Microsoft OAuth 2.0 Changes: What Modern Office Methods Clients Need to Know

If your office relies on scan-to-email from copiers, multifunction printers (MFPs), or automated device alerts, an upcoming Microsoft security change could directly impact your daily workflows. Microsoft is retiring Basic Authentication for SMTP AUTH in Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online. Once this change is fully enforced, many devices that send email using stored usernames and passwords will no longer work unless they are updated or reconfigured. This is not a vendor-specific decision. It is a [...]

Top 10 Technology Challenges for Schools and How to Solve Them

Technology touches nearly every part of a school’s day, from how lessons are delivered to how staff communicate and manage information. When those systems work well, they create consistency, accessibility, and momentum. When they don't, the impact is felt immediately across classrooms and administrative offices. Many schools face similar technology challenges, regardless of size or location. Aging infrastructure, limited budgets, growing cybersecurity risks, and small IT teams make it difficult to maintain reliable, secure environments. [...]

Why K-12 School Districts Are Rethinking Print Strategy

Managing printing across a school district is rarely simple. Most districts support multiple buildings, grade levels, and departments, each with different needs. An elementary classroom prints very differently than a high school office or a special education department. Administrative teams, counsellors, nurses, and transportation offices also rely on printed documents every day. Over time, many districts end up with a mix of printers purchased at different times, from different vendors, and for different purposes. Some [...]

How Print Security Can Protect Your Business from Data Breaches

When was the last time you considered your printer a potential security risk? Most businesses focus on the security of their servers, endpoints, and cloud applications, and for good reason. But printers store data, connect to your network, and handle some of your most sensitive documents. They have hard drives, memory, and network access, which means they're computers in their own right. Yet they rarely receive the same level of security as the rest of [...]

Why Cost Recovery and Tracking Should Be a Part of Your Managed Print Strategy

How much is your business really spending on printing each month? For many companies, the number is surprisingly high. Printing is one of those business expenses that can slip under the radar. There are supplies to buy, service calls to cover, and devices that may not be fully used. When no one is tracking it, printing can quietly eat into your budget. A Managed Print Services (MPS) provider can help get those costs under control. [...]

How Backfile Scanning Can Help Your Business Go Paperless

Going paperless is a goal for many businesses. The challenge is that decades of old paper records often stand in the way. Even if your team uses digital tools in their day-to-day, you may still have a backlog of files stored in cabinets, closets, or off-site warehouses. That's where backfile scanning becomes essential. Backfile scanning converts your historical paper documents, also known as your “backfile,” into digital files. Once scanned, these documents can be securely [...]

Navigating 2025 Proposed Changes to the HIPAA Security Rule

In 2024, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) reported that there 720 data breaches across the healthcare sector, affecting roughly 186 million people. While that’s fewer breaches than the year before—the first decline since 2018—it still marks another year where the number of affected patient records climbed significantly. It’s a sign of the times: the threats are growing faster than the tools we use to stop them. Attacks today cause more damage, last longer, and [...]
