It’s time to stop thinking about printers as standalone, task-specific machines. Many customers we speak with often say to us “We no longer use our printer”.

However, when we begin to discuss with them some of the complications that are severely hindering their operational success, they do not realise that many of these can be solved by your everyday printer, if you just know how to access its full capability.

Today’s workforce is mobile and always connected. Xerox® AltaLink® and VersaLink® digital workplace assistants, built on Xerox® ConnectKey® Technology, help businesses discover new ways to create the most efficient and productive workplace.

5 Ways your printer helps your mobile workforce

Your connected workforce — whether at home, on the road or in the office — relies on a variety of devices to send, share or retrieve documents and information and Xerox offers the flexibility to support these remote workers wherever they are.

Comprehensive Security

Security is a top priority for every business and Xerox® ConnectKey® Technology’s holistic approach protects printers, data and documents.

Automate Time Consuming Tasks

New Printer technology adds mobile and cloud capabilities to your multifunction printer, making it easier for your team to work on the go and from anywhere. The technology allows users to convert hard-copy records into easily accessible cloud-based electronic documents; use their smartphone as a mobile scanner, turning real-life documents or images into digital files stored on the cloud; and locate and print documents on demand and securely from any ConnectKey Technology printer.

By bridging the divide between the physical and digital worlds, you and your team will get more done, more quickly.

    The Hidden Costs of Printing: How Managed Print Services Reduce Business Waste

    Introduction For many organisations, printing is viewed as a routine operational expense. Printers are purchased, toner is replaced when needed, and documents continue to flow through the business without much scrutiny. However, the true cost of printing extends far beyond paper and ink. Unmanaged print environments often create hidden expenses through inefficient device usage, excessive energy consumption, IT support demands, security risks, and employee downtime. These costs can accumulate significantly over time, impacting productivity and profitability. This is particularly relevant as businesses seek to optimise operations, reduce waste, and improve sustainability while controlling expenditure. Whether…

    Can Your Business Actually Recover? The Operational Resilience Question Most SMEs Cannot Answer

    Operational resilience is not a technology problem. It is a business problem. And until boards and leadership teams own it, no amount of IT investment will be enough. The Gap Between Confidence and Reality Most organisations believe they are more resilient than they are. The backups are running. The antivirus is licensed. The IT team knows what they are doing. That confidence, in our experience, rarely survives first contact with an actual incident. The question is not whether your systems are protected. The question is whether your business can keep delivering its most important services…

    Integration of Sophos and Microsoft for enhanced threat intelligence

    Why the Sophos–Microsoft Partnership Matters – Especially for Education, Financial Services and Legal Organisations

    For most organisations today, Microsoft is the foundation of how you operate and on top of this there is also a requirement for regulatory compliance and operational resilience. Whether it’s Microsoft 365 for collaboration, Teams for communication, or Azure for infrastructure, these platforms sit at the heart of day-to-day business. But for sectors like Education, Financial Services, and Legal, that reliance comes with heightened risk, and responsibility. These organisations are not only prime targets for cyber attackers, they are also subject to strict regulatory, data protection and governance obligations. That’s why the partnership between Sophos…

    Why Cyber Resilience Can’t Be Audited Once a Year: Lessons from the UK Cyber Action Plan

    Moving from box‑ticking compliance to real‑world cyber readiness  Written by Richard Puckey  Cyber security has a confidence problem  For years, many organisations have taken comfort in annual cyber audits, certifications and compliance checklists. Pass the audit, tick the box and move on. On paper, everything looks secure.  The problem? Cyber threats don’t operate on an annual cycle.  The UK’s Cyber Action Plan is a clear signal that this approach is no longer enough. It challenges businesses to rethink cyber security not as a periodic compliance exercise, but as a living, breathing capability and culture that must stand up…

    How Housing Associations Can Transform Tenant Experience with Modern OmniChannel CX

    Written by Russell Hallam, CX Consultant at Espria In today’s housing landscape, tenants expect fast, seamless and personal interactions, no matter which channel they use.

    Elevating Human Risk Management: A Boardroom Must for Cyber Resilience in 2026

    Written by Richard Puckey As organisations move through 2026, cybersecurity has firmly established itself as a core business risk. Regulatory scrutiny is increasing, threat actors are more capable than ever and the operational and reputational impact of cyber incidents continues to escalate. In response, businesses have invested heavily in security technology such as advanced detection platforms, zero trust architectures, AI-driven analytics and automated response capabilities. These controls are considered essential and non-negotiable. However, are they sufficient? The reality facing security leaders today is clear, the majority of material cyber incidents still involve a human decision…
