PRINT IT RESELLER.UK 7 BULLETIN Midwich to distribute Epson scanners Midwich will distribute Epson’s range of 21 business scanners including mobile, desktop and flatbed scanners across the UK and Ireland. Tressa Whitby, Document Solutions General Manager at Midwich, said: “I’m delighted to extend our relationship with Epson which now includes its business scanning products. Epson offers some of the highest-quality, reliable and robust business scanning solutions available on the market and with upcoming GDPR regulations coming into force in May 2018, the need to convert physical information to manageable, secure digital content has never been greater. www.midwich.com AIT appointed exclusive distributor One Q, Danish developers of cloud print management solutions, has appointed AIT as its exclusive distributor and competency centre for the UK. One Q Chief Executive Officer, Morten Sorenson said: “AIT has over 25 years’ experience in print management and are without doubt experts in this field.

The past year saw Xelion’s UK partners win major customers in all sectors including a major housing association, an international airline and a Premier League football team. Early in 2017, the company introduced Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform as an alternative option for partners that want a managed hosted solution. The majority of Xelion's UK partners are now operating over the AWS infrastructure which achieved 100% uptime. Managing Director Dave Reynolds, said: “We are off to a flying start and this is just the beginning of the success we can achieve for our partners in the UK. The platform delivers not just voice but a true organised communications service, bringing together voice, instant messaging, sms, video, wallboards and much more. And it’s all available on a standardised user interface app for desktop, mobile and tablet so users can use the solution anywhere, anytime. I’d like to hear from any potential partner that is securing over 30 hosted seats per month and wants to work with a service provider that supports them, not competing against them.” www.xelion.com/en Exertis announces a date with technology The second Plug in to Exertis channel event takes place April 19 at Silverstone Circuit.
