The updates are designed to drive further adoption of ‘edge capture’, which involves scanning at the edge of a business process where documents enter an organisation. INfuse combines software and scanners from Kodak Alaris with a channel partner’s application to enable end-users to easily onboard content directly into a business process. Kodak Alaris has added Windows Server 2019 support to its partner-centric, cloud-connected scanning platform which also works with Amazon, Alibaba and Microsoft Azure. Expanding the INfuse infrastructure to support non- public cloud environments allows partners to create customised solutions that enable customers to move capture to the edge, regardless of where they are in their cloud adoption journey. The new Integrated Passport, A4 Legal and A3 Flatbed Scanners further expand the scanners’ capability, giving end-users more flexibility to capture a wider variety of document types such as folders, books, bound materials or fragile and larger items that cannot be fed through the scanner. The new Card Reader Accessory, including support for select third-party readers, provides a simple process for authenticating users requesting access to the scanners. This new functionality addresses customers’ data privacy, chain of custody and security concerns. Users can authenticate at the scanner using their employee ID badge, and once authenticated, can perform tasks according to their assigned permissions. Launched in September of last year, INfuse is now firmly established as a disruptive technology with the potential to profoundly impact the information management market. According to IDC: “One of the most intriguing models released during 2019 was Kodak Alaris’ INfuse AX scanner . . . This is an extremely unique offering and may indicate the future of the scanning market . . .” www.alarisworld.com Next generation telecoms solution Panasonic says its next generation single cell SIP DECT telecoms solution – the Panasonic KX-TGP700 – is a game changer for organisations that want a wireless telecoms solution for both office-based and mobile employees. Traditionally, single cell DECT solutions were only suitable for businesses at smaller site locations. Larger businesses required multicell solutions that offered a wider coverage area but were much more expensive and complex to install and maintain. The next generation Panasonic TGP700 breaks that mould, doubling the number of handsets and concurrent calls that it can handle over the popular Panasonic TGP600. The TGP700 DECT base station operates with 16 registered handsets and 16 SIP lines for public numbers that are able to handle 16 concurrent calls, making it an ideal solution for logistics operations with warehouses, medical offices, restaurants and retail stores. This latest generation single cell DECT system is also the first to include Busy Lamp Field functionality for handsets registered to the base station, allowing users to see which handsets are available or in use. To ensure that every type of worker has the appropriate communications tools, the TGP700 has a comprehensive ecosystem of DECT handsets and DECT-based desk phones available. This includes the latest Panasonic KX-TPA70 and KX-TPA73 handsets launched earlier this year and designed to take the user experience to the next level with a clear colour interface and streamlined and intuitive functionality. https://business.panasonic.co.uk High capacity storage solution The new OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual with 3-Port Hub offers up to 32TB of storage capacity plus a built-in high-powered USB hub for accessory connectivity and device charging.
