IT Printer Security is indispensable for secure business operations and uninterrupted processes.  Whether it is because of the increasing threat of cyber attacks, the growing number of applications and sensitive data, or new regulatory requirements, security in office communication represents a challenge for every company.

In today’s tech-enabled environment, device proliferation is leading to complex multi-device and multi-platform infrastructures as businesses continue to focus and adapt to becoming mobile and meeting the demands of their workforce. Every one of these devices, including office printers and multifunction devices, are all access and exit points for potentially sensitive company data and can come at a security cost. One of the biggest challenges facing companies today is how to control and secure data without disrupting business operations. Increasingly, data is being held and processed beyond the firewall boundaries, making the task of securing data more difficult for network defenders.

The result of a company data breach can be devastating to an organisation, large or small. As well as huge penalties, imposed by strict new compliance regulations there is the damage to a company’s reputation.  As firewalls are no longer enough to protect your data, businesses must implement multiple layers of protection down to every network endpoint—from PCs to printer and address compliance requirements.

We were delighted to sponsor a Tee Box at the Garda Boat Club Golf Classic at Westmanstown Golf Club, recently.  The day was a great success and the weather was beautiful.  The Garda Sióchána Boat Club is a voluntary organisation and this annual event is to raise much needed funds for the club.

EMS Managed Print Solution is underpinned by intuitive software, robust user friendly hardware and a dedicated team of staff.   We have been working with both the business and education sectors since 1970, so we know what we are talking about!

EMS are a single product supplier and have forged a strong relationship with our business partners and suppliers, UTAX.  EMS have consistently been appointed UTAX distributor of the year in the UK and Ireland since 2014.  Our commitment to staff training in the area of software has seen us maintain the title of UTAX Solutions Partner in 2017/2019.

What is a Managed Print Solution?

Essentially a new device/s with no capital outlay.  Maintenance and toner included.  All of our devices print, copy and scan.  EMS offer a range of bespoke software solutions designed for specific functions or vertical markets  to fit in with your business process.   Our software packs are essentially a mix of software, hardware and professional services that, when combined, produce a package of products bespoke to the clients’ needs with the flexibility to adapt and scale as required.

What type of company benefit from Managed Print?

There is a common myth among smaller businesses that Managed Print is only viable for organisations with a large staff base.  While EMS have implemented our Managed Print into large multi-locational organisations, we have passed on significant savings to smaller companies with perhaps just a few members of staff.  Many of the smaller companies we work with are often surprised by how much they actually print and their subsequent spend.

Why an EMS Managed Print Solution is different

EMS provide a service based, dedicated, no frills, tailored Managed Print Solution.  So no, we don’t supply you with stationery, furniture or claim that our devices will make your morning coffee.  However, we can guarantee you that you will receive efficient, reliable devices, scalable software all backed up by a team of highly qualified and experienced field engineers.

The tailored approach – EMS take the time to get to know you and your business

Before we implement a Managed Print Solution we take the time to familiarize ourselves with the organisation, its layout and carry out a detailed audit of the volumes produced on the existing devices.  Factors such as the business expanding or downsizing are all taken into account.  By taking the time to go through this process EMS can provide a detailed and accurate analysis of potential cost and efficiency savings.

Taking care of colour costs

EMS also offer an intuitive Intelligent Colour Billing Solution.  Put simply, we automatically calculate the amount of colour toner you use per page and reflect this in your billing.  So you only get charged for the amount of colour you actually use.

The Benefits of Intelligent Colour Billing:

• Reduce Print Costs – Only pay for the colour you use
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Complete visibility and traceability of your print costs
• No compromise on print quality
• Increased sustainability – Less toner usage means less waste

GDPR

To assist our customers prepare and address recent GDPR compliance requirements, EMS offer the Data Security Kit on our hardware.  This software assists organisations that may need to employ one or more different encryption methods within both on premise and cloud environments.

Our aim is to minimise potential regulation breaches in the areas of printer security and data management.

The UTAX Data Security Kit from EMS ensures the protection of your confidential information, right at the system level:

• It overwrites and encrypts copying, scanning and printing data, even before they are saved to the hard drive.
• In addition, the memory area for the output data is automatically deleted so that the data cannot be restored.

Team #109 had high hopes heading into the second round of the season at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit.  Aghadowey’s McGlinchey was once again the man to beat in the Dickies British Junior Supersport class, taking victory in the opening race of the weekend on Saturday , before scoring another two podium finishes in the remaining two races, standing on the second step both times and extending his lead in the championship to almost thirty points.

The weekend got off to a great start for the nineteen year old, finish free practice on Friday in third position, before going one place better in qualifying putting the Kawasaki Ninja 400 in the middle of the front row for the opening race of the weekend around the tight Indy track, finishing free practice in twenty-fifth, and starting from the track of the grid for the opening race after a difficult qualifying session.

With five podiums from the opening five races of the season, McGlinchey sits at a top of the championship standings with an impressive tally of one hundred and ten points, and a twenty nine point gap back to Kade Verwey in second position.  Glover is yet to score his first championship point, but after some promising performances this weekend, this is certainly not far away for the young Dubliner.

Speaking about the weekend Team Manager Paul Tobin commented “Another excellent weekend for us as a team, Kevin showed his true championship crudentials this weekend with a great 5th place finish and more really good points in the bag as he heads into Oulton Park.
