2010-01-15T03:47:00.000-08:00

Greetings from Adam the C&G Business Equipment blogger! At last we are seeing the snow melt in Gloucestershire and everything getting back on track!

In our range of solutions we supply & offer our clients and local businesses electronic document management, the future of efficient offices. With INVU we look at integration between different information stores such as server folders, email & paperbased information. We are able to streamline your processes in most departments so all information is retrievable within seconds, audit trails to ensure this information is at hand and never lost with a centralised information store that provides disaster recovery, something many Companies do not have.

We have a short video here to give you an idea of how INVU and our Company can benefit your business. After seeing the video if you want to have a relaxed discussion about your business and how we could help then please contact me Adam on 01452 332270 or email adam@cgcopiers.co.uk

ImageRUNNER ADVANCE Success & Welcome to new client

2010-01-14T08:09:00.000-08:00

With the new "Smart" MFP from Canon we knew here at C&G Business Equipment that it would open new opportunities for potential clients who are looking for the best communication print & copy hubs.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Tile Flair who join our growing list of clients and to thank them for thier business purchasing a new imageRUNNER ADVANCE 7065 loaded with a booklet finisher and 3500 sheet paper stack.

Matthew the Managing Director of Tile Flair & James the Sales Director C&G Business Equipment

James Fletcher the "one armed" sales director took great pleasure in training up the users with this all new Canon device, show off the lightning fast touch screen and explaining the feature rich system. The main complaint from James was:

"With only my one arm in action it was frustrating for me not to be more involved with the device demonstration and training!"

We have to make a quick acknowledgement here that James decided during the snowing weather that being pulled on the back of a quad bike whilst he showed off his snowboard skills was a good idea. I think a certain amount of symphathy has been lost when he fell off and broke his collar bone! Although we have to agree it has given us and our clients something amusing to talk about :)

Matthew the MD at Tile Flair was understanding over James "accident" and was very pleased at getting delivery of his new Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE device. Even the snow could not stop us here at C&G Business Equipment!

The New Canon "SMART" ImageRUNNER ADVANCE range of MFP

2010-01-06T05:51:00.000-08:00

"A regular MFP can print, fax, copy & scan paper documents. As smart MFP also - can be customised - is easily integrated with office and enterprise applications - is management friendly, with consistent architecture and user interface - works well on the network - is based largely on industry standards." Gartner - Don Dixon

Why is the imageRUNNER ADVANCE important to businesses?

1) 5 times faster User interface
2) 84% faster warm up time*
3) 30-50% lower CO2 emissions
4) 40% less energy consumption*
5) 20% faster performance
6) Scanning now twice the speed*

The five key attributes:

1 - Productivity

New efficiences with the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE range see an increased ease of use where by users can automate simple workflows b yu themselves. With effective management and sharing of electronic data with automatic inbound fax messages to the desktop we see fast and effective document capture.

2 - Reduced environmental impact

The devices start at production with cell manufacturing providing efficient logistics and lifecycle with recycled materials and bio plastics being used. When in situ the device range incorporate energy saving fusing technology which = lower power. Compliant to stringent environmental standards and smart toner technology Canon again leads the way.

3 - Security of information

Canon take the security of your information seriously as the device range have integrated device authentication. With the prevention of re-copying of sensitive documents available and the ability to prevent the re-use of digital document control you can be safe in the knowledge that confidential & sensitive information remains at your business. You can assign policies to documents to effectively govern intellectual property. Canon support industry standards which aids towards compliance TPM & PDFA1b.

4 - Quality & serviceability

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE leads the way with outstanding quality this has been achieved through using elements of imagePRESS technology (professional print) which gives consistent colour and alignment & toner. With true Adobe postscript and colour matching your reproduced documents will be the quality associated with expensive professional print shops. The modular design and media range make this a one stop device for your printing output. Reliability - Increased uptime & performance, remote maintenance and improved running costs make this the most productive and relaible device in the marketplace.

5 - Cost optimisation

With the choppy seas of the current ecconomic climate cost is a very important factor in the purchasing decision. With this new rnage we see a cost saving per printed page, reduced financial outlay with the smart MFP & lower energy consumption. Lower fleet deployment costs as you can share resoources across the fleet i.e. fax boards. Control colour use and produce in-house professional looking colour documents. Lastly with fewer devices to manage there's a reduced burden on your IT department.
