Print.IT Reseller - issue 71

I don’t want to dedicate this entire column talking about the coronavirus pandemic, but it would be remiss of me not to mention it. We are facing unprecedented pressures and challenges, and there will undoubtedly be a long lasting impact on many. A working from home mantra has been adopted by many responsible organisations, in a bid to keep their people safe, and thankfully we have the technology that enables many businesses to operate as normal despite having a distributed workforce. I am sure many of you are working around the clock to support your customers in their business continuity plans. On a lighter note, we are working hard finalising all plans for the inaugural PrintIT Awards in October and processing the award entries which are coming in thick and fast. Please remember to get your entries in well in advance of the June 5 deadline, and if you need any support, please contact the team who will be happy to help. Sara Diggle, Head of SMB laser & scanner business unit at Brother UK, picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Roger Harry, Director, Circle IT and PITR spent 60 seconds with Jason Howells, Director International, Barracuda MSP.
