per minute. This is ideal for electronic
document archiving operations using the

For data security Develop has
ensured that each device is certified
to the computer security standard ISO
15408 EAL 3 and come with various
data security features, such as hard-
disk encryption and when required data
erasure. Equipped with security features
such as IPsec, S/MIME e-mail encryption
and IP filtering, any device in the ineo+
colour range can ensure that every form
of communication or document transfer
is undertaken securely. Device access can
be restricted by means of authentication
technology such as PIN codes, finger-vein
scanning or contactless smart cards.
Each of these new devices has also
been carefully calibrated to reduce
operating costs and carbon footprint.
The automatic deletion of blank pages
avoids unnecessary copying and wasted
paper. The various energy-saving
functions include the newly developed
LED scanner exposure technology, an ErP
operating mode that only uses 0.5W,
and the dynamic Eco Timer that adapts
the system’s active phases to its actual
operating periods. The new ineo+ systems
also conform to Blue Angel and Energy
Star certified international eco standards.
Administrators can also create various
user accounts for individual operators
and departments. User accounts can then
be allocated a set number of prints, and
detailed usage reports generated. This
allows administrators to reliably track and
control printing output and related costs.
DSales reports a rise in software
solution popularity
Over the last twelve months DSales
has launched a number of Develop’s
document management software (DMS)
solutions to the UK market. These
DMS solutions have been designed by
Develop to work with its ineo range of
multifunctional devices, and offer a host
of practical and convenient benefits
to SMEs such as electronic archiving,
distribution, and sharing of important
documents.
Develop’s award winning ‘store+find’
can for instance offer seamless
integration into ineo systems, allowing
users to import e-mails and e-mail
attachments directly from Microsoft
Office, saving documents in all major
formats. Users can also capture
important documents such as receipts
and faxes and store them electronically,
saving valuable space, and improving
efficiency by making archived documents
retrievable with just a few key strokes.
Easy tagging, document indexing and
full-text search within a document (OCR
recognition) makes finding documents
simple. Searching for saved documents
via web browser or client program is also
possible.
Other popular Develop DMS
applications include ‘Personal Print’,
which provides follow-me print
functionality, and ‘convert+share’
which enables users to quickly and
efficiently convert scanned documents
into a variety of .docx files. Users can
then send these files from the Develop
multifunctional printer to a range of
destinations includingWindows files,
e-mail addresses, Google docs or a
Microsoft SharePoint.
The numerous practical benefits
of these solutions has given rise to a
surge in popularity, and sales of these
DMS solutions have exceeded even the
most optimistic expectations. Jonathan
Whitworth, Managing Director of DSales
(UK) believes that this popularity is due
to a combination of factors including
the comparatively low price of Develop’s
DMS, and their SME focused design.
Jonathan explains “Although SMEs
have long been aware of the potential
benefits, the cost of investing in a
DMS and associated training has often
been prohibitively expensive. Many
of the available solutions have also
been unnecessarily complex for SME
application. The DSales range of software
solutions has however been specifically
engineered for use by SMEs, and is
offered at a more competitive price point
than previously available.”

with revenues topping £11 million, but

Commenting on the success of
DSales (UK) Ltd, Managing Director
JonathanWhitworth comments, “What
we have achieved in just six years is truly
remarkable carving out a significant
position in a mature market against
the background of the worst economic
recession in 80 years. I want to pay
tribute to the DSales team and our dealer
community for their drive and sustained
effort to make this achievement possible.
As the general economy recovers we
anticipate another record trading year
coming up.”
The company has also welcomed the
merger of supplier Develop GmbH with
Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe
strengthening the market position of the
two companies with a targeted dual-
brand growth strategy. Jonathan states,
“We believe this is an excellent move for
the Develop brand, assuring its future
across Europe including here in the UK.
We are the exclusive UK distributor for
the Develop range of multifunctionals and
digital production print systems and the
biggest distributor for Develop outside of
Germany.”
