ConnectKey turns peripherals into connected workplace assistants
Xerox India unveiled the recently launched 29 ConnectKey-enabled printers and multifunction devices. The devices, which are part of the largest launch in Xerox’s history, are equipped with simple and secure on-the-go capabilities, cloud connectivity, and access to productivity boosting features and apps.
The new ConnectKey portfolio transforms traditional printing devices into smart, connected workplace assistants that reflect the evolving needs of today’s businesses. Personalized workflows, one-touch access to the cloud and multi-layered security features are the new print, copy and fax.
The family of products includes a variety of sizes, speeds and capabilities to match the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses as well as large enterprises, with a consistent user experience across the portfolio.
“Owing to the success witnessed by our previous ConnectKey enabled devices, we are glad to bring about another revolutionary change in the Indian printing industry with the new ConnectKey portfolio of products. The range of 29 devices include a variety of sizes, speeds, and capabilities to match the requirements of small and medium-sized businesses as well as large enterprises” said Ashraf El-Arman, Managing Director, Xerox India.
“Considering the evolving needs of today’s customers, the launch aims to make printing hassle-free by bringing in stability via cloud, mobility and security. At Xerox, we constantly work towards bringing efficiency and effectiveness and provide our customers with a cost advantage. These devices are fully entrenched with Xerox’s software expertise to connect the hardware, thereby giving phenomenal power to the engine,” Ashraf further added.
The new products will be identified as the Xerox VersaLink and Xerox AltaLink series. The VersaLink devices are designed for small workgroups and distributed teams, and include 19 printers and multifunction printers (MFPs). The AltaLink series includes 10 MFPs designed for larger workgroups or print volume needs.
Key attributes include:
- Streamlined business processes – Off-the-shelf or created by channel partners, built-in apps from the Xerox App Gallery help organizations create workflows tailored to their specific operations. For example, patient records filing, real estate contract management and retail invoicing can be streamlined into fewer, faster steps using digital workflows enabled right from the device.
- Industry-leading intuitive user experience – Benefiting from years of Xerox research in this area, all 29 products share a similar, customizable user interface, which is unique to Xerox workplace solutions and allows the user experience to move with you. The tablet-like touch screen interface can be personalized for different work environments or individual users.
- Mobile and cloud ready – Information flows easily from the device to cloud repositories like Dropbox, Office 365 or Google Drive. Mobile workers can print wirelessly from any computing device.
- Total security for both the device and your information – ConnectKey technology ensures comprehensive safety for system components and points of vulnerability. It offers protection from unauthorized access to devices; keeps confidential communications and information safe with encryption and image overwrite; audits device access attempts and protects both data and device from malicious intent.
By working with industry leaders in network security, ConnectKey-enabled devices offer added security – ensuring they are monitored and trusted in even the most security-conscious environments. AltaLink MFPs feature an added layer of security through our partnership with McAfee.
As per the release, the 29 Xerox AltaLink and Xerox VersaLink devices are now available in India.
