MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology
remains an important component to a law firm's ability to offer
client-focused legal services, and can also help bring benefits in
the form of increased productivity, reduced costs, in-depth
analytics and document security features. From August 28 to September 1, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, will demonstrate its comprehensive suite of document
solutions that can help legal practices at ILTACON 2016 (booths
#700, 702, 704 and 706) at the Gaylord National Resort and
Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland. Legal professionals will have the
opportunity to discover how Canon, a predominant brand of
photocopier among legal firms1, can help them rethink
processes and solutions and master their business.
At the show, Canon will display its latest imageRUNNER ADVANCE
multifunction systems ready to support the demanding needs of a
busy firm. Universal Login Manager comes standard on all the latest
imageRUNNER ADVANCE models2, helping firms to better
manage print and document costs by controlling employees' access
and usage. These new models also include support for mobile print
workflows, and firms using the Worldox™ document management system
can leverage the optional Scan to Worldox MEAP application to
automate document scanning. Canon will also be showcasing a new
imageFORMULA production document scanner add-on accessory called
Scan Kiosk Networked Scan Station Expansion Pack3. This
expansion pack can convert compatible existing production document
scanners4 into high-speed, network-attached dedicated
scanning devices for uniFLOW environments5.
Business Intelligence
A view of a firm's utilization
and performance metrics can help with operational efficiency.
Solutions with integrated metrics capture and reporting
capabilities can help firms with their business intelligence
strategy, and can provide quantitative insight into the value of
workflows and asset usage essential to firm productivity. These
analytics may be particularly helpful for firms needing to forecast
project costs for cases with alternative fee arrangements.
Canon's broad portfolio of solutions helpful for the legal
sector, including the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 multifunction
systems, with advanced authentication, metrics capture and
reporting capabilities, can help calculate costs, increasing the
potential to drive profitability with operational efficiency.
uniFLOW can help firms by capturing costs associated with billable
activities such as print and copy and assign charges to the
appropriate customer or project. The same data collected for cost
recovery can also contribute to more extensive trend analysis and
forecasting to help firms build their cost management and profit
improvement strategy.
Process Management
Managing the complexities of
integrated print, copy and scan is often a manual, time-consuming
process, but Canon's uniFLOW solution offers integration with many
commonly used document management systems to help automate this
process. For broad workflow capabilities, uniFLOW extends its
print, copy tracking and user authentication features to support
integration, document capture and workflow processing capabilities
with various third-party document management solutions such as
iManage Work™, OpenText™,
SharePoint™ and Box™. 6 Legal
professionals using the Worldox™ document
management system can leverage the optional Scan to Worldox MEAP
application to automate scanning documents with FollowMe favorites
personalization features from imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices, as well
as select imageFORMULA document scanners7 that can send
documents to Worldox wirelessly on the same network with the touch
of a button.
In addition to Worldox scanning capabilities, imageFORMULA
document scanners offer industry standard ISIS/TWAIN drivers to
integrate smoothly with various third-party applications, including
Evernote® and Google Docs™6. These models can
also handle legal-sized documents with ease, providing Bates
stamping and other functions helpful to legal firms when sharing
information in electronic format.
Mobile Productivity
With an increasing number of
employees participating in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend,
legal professionals require solutions to help control access to
sensitive data. For firms seeking security features and control
over printing from mobile devices, Canon offers the uniFLOW Mobile
Printing application. This powerful uniFLOW application integrates
mobile device printing into a firm's overall output management
solution, enabling them to enact control over which users can
submit document output from compatible mobile devices, while also
requiring user authentication to print. The latest imageRUNNER
ADVANCE models2 can provide firms with additional
flexibility to allow them to help maximize productivity. Upon
authentication at the MFP, users can access My ADVANCE features to
create a personalized experience tailored to each legal
professional's preference, offering them a customized interface
displaying many frequently used functions, allowing them to move
virtually seamlessly from device to device.
Firms often need to quickly upload documents to various court
systems across the country. For the legal professional on-the-go,
Canon offers the sleek imageFORMULA Scan-tini Mobile Document
Scanner, a powerful, lightweight device that conveniently fits on a
desktop or in a briefcase. This imageFORMULA model can also
wirelessly8 scan documents to compatible mobile devices
using the Canon CaptureOnTouch mobile app9.
Information Governance
Firms are entrusted with
clients' highly sensitive information, making access to
confidential information a top priority. In order to help limit
access to customer's sensitive information, the latest imageRUNNER
ADVANCE models** feature a set of standard and optional security
features10. As part of the third generation of
imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems, these MFPs include a standard Hard
Disk Drive (HDD) Encryption function with FIPS140-2 validation
which, when activated, automatically encrypts data stored on the
main unit's HDD, thereby helping to restrict access to the
customer's data.
Additionally, user access can also be controlled when using the
Scan Kiosk combined with uniFLOW5 for select
imageFORMULA production document scanners4. The uniFLOW
interface displayed on a user-friendly touchscreen display will
allow legal professionals to identify themselves through various
login methods including optional card scanning. Upon authentication
at the MFP, specific workflow settings can be linked to a user for
personalized scan settings.
Canon Business Process Services (CBPS) will also spotlight how
its technology, services and consulting expertise can help legal
professionals. This includes helping to meet the challenges
associated with legal document review via CBPS'
CaseData™ cloud-based discovery platform.
CaseData offers document review and processing capabilities,
analytics, reporting and production features. CBPS can also assist
firms in implementing a digital intake center that enables law
firms and corporate legal departments to leverage document imaging,
indexing and other services to help reduce a backlog of active,
paper-based files; helping to improve access to information and
minimize paper usage.
