CCube Solutions has formed
a non-exclusive alliance with
Restore to provide NHS Trusts
and Clinical Commissioning
Groups (CCGs) with a joint
solution comprising electronic
document management
software (EDMS) and secure,
high volume scanning
services.
Both companies have a
long history of working with
customers in the health
service. CCube Solutions’
EDMS software is used by 28
hospitals around the country,
while Restore provides
records management and
scanning services to more
than 40% of NHS Trusts.
The two companies are
already collaborating on three
NHS deals, including a £4
million project with a Yorkshire
hospital to install a new
Trust-wide EDMS solution and
scan 175 million pages over a
three-year period.
Restore meets key
accreditations required by the
NHS, such as ISO 27001 and
BS 10008, and is an approved
supplier on a number of NHS
procurement frameworks,
including NHS Shared
Business Services, ESPO and
Health Trust Europe.
The best of the best
Samsung Electronics and
Canon are just behind Sony at
the top the latest UK RepTrak

company reputations.
The ranking, based on
more than 3,200 interviews
with members of the public,
measures a company’s
reputation for products and
services, innovation, workplace,
governance, citizenship,
leadership and performance.
Apple has the highest ranking
for innovation, but loses ground
when it comes to Governance
and Citizenship.

Lexmark healthcare
win
Lexmark has been selected
by the Countess of Chester
Hospital Commercial
Procurement Services
(COCH) as its supplier of
choice for healthcare content
management. COCH made
its selection via the National
Framework Agreement for
the provision of Healthcare
Content Management, which
enables Lexmark to sell all
of its solutions directly into
the NHS and other public
sector bodies without the
need for a procurement
process. Lexmark Healthcare
brings together industry-
leading hardware and
software for the secure
capture, management,
viewing and sharing of
medical information.
Extended warranties
OKI has introduced a three-
year warranty period for
its premium large format
inkjet printers. The extended
warranty programme, which
covers print heads and
other replacement parts, is
available for all ColorPainter
M-64s and H3-104s printers
installed by OKI authorised
distributors and dealers after
April 1 2016.
Go digital to
improve quality
Altodigital is advising
businesses to digitise
their quality management
processes, following a survey
that highlights the high cost
of poor quality control. More
than half (55%) of consumers
said they would never again
use a retailer if the product
they bought was later recalled;
44% wouldn’t return to a
company if the product was
faulty. Altodigital argues that
replacing a paper-based quality
management system (QMS)
with a digital QMS reduces
the risk of human error and
makes it more likely that
any errors that do occur will
automatically be flagged up.
Risky business
Danwood is warning businesses to pay more attention to
employees’ printing habits as a new survey shows that 94% of
office workers have at least one bad printing habit that could
result in a data breach.
Examples of risky behaviour include frequently leaving
documents in printer trays, sending files to other organisations
to print on their behalf, leaving documents in public places and
binning documents without first shredding them.
Danwood is advising organisations to improve their print
security by using tools such as follow me printing and remote
management software. The Danwood

Samsung extends partnership with
Ubiquitech
Samsung Electronics has expanded its worldwide partnership
with Danish software vendor Ubiquitech, so that users of its
MultiXpress series MFPs can improve document security as well
as print management.
The Ubiquitech print management solution prevents confidential
information from being leaked by identifying registered users and
only allowing documents to be printed by, or shared with, authorised
personnel.
In addition, all print tasks are tracked and registered.
To reduce duplicate or unnecessary printing,
users can view all print jobs
on the Android-based Smart
UX MFP display.
Ubiquitech’s solutions
can run on IBM Power and IBM
System Z, as well as Windows,
giving enterprise customer
the option to consolidate all
Windows Print Servers into a
single IBM System Z or Power
platform.
