IBM Unveils Versatile Multifunction Systems

IBM today announced four new multifunction printers (MFPs) designed to help reduce output costs, improve productivity and enhance document security. The devices, which print, copy, scan and fax, can enable clients to consolidate and save money on supplies, service and support.

A recent InfoTrends study found that organizations, on average, spend six percent of their annual revenues on copying, printing, and fax-related costs.

In addition to helping improve efficiency, the MFPs can help provide enhanced security through user sign-on features and encryption technologies designed to help ensure the protection of confidential information. For example, banks can use the MFPs as a remote image capture device at their branch locations. Employees can send images electronically through the branch network’s secure infrastructure to help eliminate the need to copy and transport documents manually and help reduce the risk of documents being lost or destroyed.
