Canon's Powerful iW360 Software - Document Management for Canon MFPs
Efficient office workplaces require timely and proper handling of hard copy and electronic documents. An important step is to acquire the right set of multifunctional printer/copier systems, but vital to optimising the functionality of those systems is a matter of software acquisition and configuration. In the case of Canon, the arrival of its powerful iW360 software suite makes it simpler and faster than ever to ensure maximum benefits from Canon MFPs.
Canon’s iW360 Software: The Benefits
Would you like to:
- Streamline working practices?
- Save time at each stage of the document life-cycle?
- Create amazing documents almost instantly?
- Collaborate and communicate with colleagues more efficiently?
- Improve the way you store and search documents?
- Create business workflows activated by one-touch buttons?
If so, let Principal’s Canon experts guide you through a software bundle which heralds a new era in office productivity, whether you are scanning, collating, publishing or storing documents.
iW360: Streamline working practices
Combining information from numerous sources – such as Word, Excel and emails – can be extremely time-consuming. With Canon’s iW360 software, all you do is drag and drop the files you need into a single file, which then can be edited and published.
Small adjustments – such as creating uniform fonts and colours, or adding contents pages, headers and footers – are then easy to make before printing the completed document on a Canon device.
iW360: Collaborate and communicate with colleagues more efficiently
It is not always possible to work face-to-face on a project. iW360 makes collaborative working possible via a set of electronic cabinets. These can be set up and all relevant documentation associated with a project saved into it. Then, whenever a team member accesses and updates a document, all group members are notified via a pop-up box. Because only one person at a time is allowed to modify a document, the most current up-to-date version is always maintained.
iW360: Improve the way you store and search documents
iW360 also allows you to store documents in a way that enables words or phrases to be searched for later. This ensures that the information you need is always readily to hand. A great time and frustration saver.
iW360: Create business workflows activated by one-touch buttons
iW360 lets you transform time-consuming tasks into one-button touch workflows. These are easy to set up and can include a wide variety of functions, including copying, faxing, sending via email, or scanning to ftp. For example, you might need to send a regular report to a number of contacts, by various methods. Using iW360 you can create a routine which scans the report and then sends it to 5 different fax numbers, 25 email addresses and creates 10 copies for nearby colleagues on your Canon MFP. This routine can then be stored within iW360, all at the touch of a button.
iW360: Seamless integration
Canon’s iW360 software includes many other time-saving features and is designed to integrate with Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series and other Canon MFPs.
