01732 759725 12 BULLETIN ScanSnap celebrates 20 years PFU (EMEA) is celebrating 20 years of the ScanSnap brand and reaching the six million devices shipped milestone. The first model, the ScanSnap fi-411EOX was initially sold in July 2001, since then over 20 different devices have been developed, evolving from the ScanSnap SV600 overhead scanner, providing contactless image capture for books, magazines, and artwork, to the ScanSnap iX1600. To celebrate the last two decades, ScanSnap has created a limited edition ScanSnap iX1600, with only 22 available in the world. The limited edition model is made with the historic foil processing of Kanazawa leaf, a traditional Japanese craft developed over 450 years ago in the city of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, where the brand was founded. Partners will have the opportunity to win a model by registering their sales on the imaging rewards programme or by submitting their best case study on the PFU EMEA partner portal. www.fujitsu.com MPS Monitor achieves SOC 2 compliance MPS Monitor has announced the successful completion of its System and Organization Controls 2 Type 1 (SOC 2 Type 1) examination.

The bizhub i-Series features multiple next- generation technologies, including solid-state storage, a new code base, firmware and integrated cloud services. No vulnerabilities were found during recent tests performed on the devices by NTT DATA, an internationally respected IT services provider, and the Security division of NTT Ltd. Konica Minolta puts its products through rigorous internal cybersecurity tests to protect their systems and ensure they meet PCI, HIPAA, FERPA and GDPR compliance requirements. But to further assure customers that the printers exceed industry standards for cybersecurity compliance, the company provided a line of its multifunction printers and their source code to NTT DATA for penetration testing. After spending approximately 80 hours trying to hack into the devices, NTT DATA engineers did not find any major security vulnerabilities. These results fortify Konica Minolta’s reputation for offering secure products and helps drive the product line’s success. www.konicaminolta.co.uk ECI implements webshops ECI has implemented 21 webshops for Staples Finland, a project that was completed in record time. Staples Finland, which was acquired by Wulff in the spring, selected ECI EasyOrder, a complete e-commerce and order management solution, which includes a customer self-service portal, SEO friendly functionality and a rich dataset giving instant insight into daily order activities. Ina Mickelsson, Head of eCommerce and IT, Wulff Solutions Oy, said: “Many of the websites had been up and running for a number of years, but were failing to attract buyers or online orders on the scale we know they should. I’m confident that these new webshops will make a big difference and switching to EasyOrder will help resellers secure more revenue and deliver a much improved customer experience.” www.ecisolutions.com The Convergent Technology Event for IT Resellers & Providers 28 September 2021 London Business Design Centre 2021 REGISTER ONLINE NOW www.technologylive.co.uk Main Sponsor Ina Mickelsson
