Backfile Scanning: When, Why, and How to Tackle Large-Scale Digitization Projects

Walk into almost any office that has been around for more than a decade, and you'll find the same scene: filing cabinets lining the walls, a storage room no one wants to deal with, and boxes of documents that feel too important to shred but too buried to use. At some point, that paper stops being an archive. It becomes an obstacle. Most people don't think of overflowing filing cabinets as a productivity issue. But [...]

Yet one critical vulnerability often flies under the radar: networked printers and multifunction devices.  In educational environments where sensitive student information flows constantly, printers represent a significant weak point in data protection strategies.

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

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.

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 [...]
