"Corporations are faced with increasing requirements to support the consumerization of IT within their workplace as more workers use their own mobile devices at work to access and collaborate on documents," said John Reilly, President, Oce North America, Document Printing Systems. "The challenge of how to provide easy-to-use, productive and secure solutions, including the ability to print from mobile devices, can be daunting. Oce offers a variety of Canon solutions to meet these challenges and user needs."

For convenient access to cloud-based documents, Cloud Portal for imageRUNNER ADVANCE enables a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE office system to connect directly to Google Docs or Microsoft SharePoint Online. With this solution, a user can access their Microsoft SharePoint Online and Google Docs accounts directly at the front panel display of a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE office system. Documents can then be seamlessly scanned to, retrieved from, viewed and printed from Google Docs or SharePoint Online with a few simple touches on the MFP's front panel display. As a result, collaboration and productivity are improved as workers can access these document repositories from virtually anywhere in the enterprise that an imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP is located.

"Canon U.S.A. is pleased to offer the Cloud Portal for imageRUNNER ADVANCE software to Oce customers to help address the demand for round-the-clock access to important documents by mobile workers," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A.  "As cloud technology matures, the innovative hardware and carefully engineered software applications of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE office systems product line make them ideal products for cloud applications."

To enable customers to mitigate the maintenance of constantly stocking and updating regularly used forms, Oce's Form Central provides users access to a centrally located form repository. Form Central was created, using the Canon MFP web access solution, to enable users to access web-based form libraries containing their most commonly used forms, download the forms they need and print them on demand. Browsing the forms library and selecting the needed form is done through the operator panel and user interface of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP. With Form Central, the burden of managing forms is greatly reduced and the waste of unused printed forms is eliminated since the most current version is always available and only printed when needed.
