Along with noticeable changes in the market and customers looking to embrace digitisation following the pandemic, the firm is also seeing an increase in customers proactively contacting it for complete solutions that are tailored to their needs rather than looking to invest in new hardware alone. General Manager Jackie Jones, at Digital Office Solutions said: “Whilst the hardware is slower to change, it is developments in software and document management solutions for example that have rapidly changed customer expectations. When we discussed a potential partnership with Konica Minolta it was its support and investment in these services that really was a key factor in our decision.” Regional Sales Manager James Hamer added: “This partnership enables us to provide our customers with the latest bizhub multifunction print devices, backed up by the manufacturer’s direct support, with our team delivering personalised local support from a wellestablished and trusted independent managed print solutions expert.” www.digitalofficesol.co.uk Kingsfield IT named on CCS framework Public sector IT specialist Kingsfield IT has been named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Network Services 3 framework (RM6116). Kingsfield has been named on five lots, in what it says is both a huge achievement for the growing tech team and an essential move for public sector bodies looking to boost integration and save on costs. The new NS3 framework brings cloud communications to the forefront of public sector technology, enabling government bodies, such as the NHS, to access communication software to help boost staff productivity and efficiency. Kingsfield will be largely tasked with providing connectivity solutions to various public sector bodies and their dedicated team of staff. This includes introducing cloud telephony that will largely support public sector staff by instilling an improved and unified communications service. Kieran Shah, Head of Public Sector said: “The entire Kingsfield team is incredibly proud to be on not one, but five lots of the latest iteration of the Network Services 3 framework. We believe this framework is a game-changer for organisations struggling to keep up with the increased demand for more remote and hybrid work options. Our specialist team will partner with other premium technology providers to bridge the gap between public sector institutions and the technology they need to support their internal and external communities.” www.kingsfieldit.com PRINTITRESELLER.UK 7 Aurora expands into Newcastle Aurora has opened another new office, this time in Newcastle.
