The new solutions include an updated Optimised Visitor Management system, the Communicate and Collaborate furniture range and the Plasmacluster Air Purifier. Optimised Visitor Management: The refreshed site-monitoring system from Sharp has been upgraded to help businesses manage their premises and keep employees safe from COVID-19. OVM’s updated software offers sophisticated new features including questioning enhancement, multiple geofencing capabilities, contactless sign in/out options, as well as improved reporting and dashboards, all for compliance and health and safety. Communicate and Collaborate furniture range: The range consists of three variations of the Collaborate table, the Levitator and Switch 45 digital screen stands, and two new Digital Signage Stands. The three key products can transform any office into a flexible workspace that supports collaboration and teamwork for both onsite and home-working employees. Plasmacluster Air Purifier: Sharp’s range of air purification and humidification devices create Plasmacluster Ions which are attracted to airborne particles. The particles are then broken down by removing surface proteins, the tiny particles stick together and are drawn into Plasmacluster’s triple filtration system. The filtration system clears any impurities and releases clean water molecules back into the air. The device continues to monitor air quality with its built-in sensors, which can be adjusted to be more or less sensitive. www.sharp.co.uk Focus On: What’s New Konica Minolta launches Workplace One Konica Minolta has announced the launch of its new Workplace One cloud-based digital platform, which enables SMB organisations to have their IT infrastructure and business applications hosted on the cloud and managed by Konica Minolta. The platform delivers various other components that are vital to SMBs looking to make this transition. This includes managing and hosting the IT infrastructure in the cloud – i.e., servers, storage, networks and all business applications that are already in use for CRM, ERP, finance, information management, etc. With the solution, SMBs no longer have to worry about operations, maintenance, user management, licences, updates or security. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) are also included, as well as a daily backup that ensures that their organisation is protected against data loss. Standard multi-factor authentication also prevents unauthorised access to sensitive data. Workplace One is part of Konica Minolta’s cloud strategy and includes a Microsoft 365 licence for all an organisation’s employees and a collaborative space for communication, collaboration and project work. Employees can also access their business applications and Microsoft 365 applications via a landing page based on SharePoint Online. In addition to this, the site also serves as a collaboration space, offering functions such as intranet, chat, social networking, team sites, project teams, file sharing, a task planner, and a news feed. The complete package is aimed primarily at small and medium-sized organisations with up to 300 employees, relieving them of a large proportion of their IT tasks and making them ready for digital transformation for a fixed monthly fee. www.konicaminolta.co.uk Pantum expands product line-up Pantum continues to channel its efforts into optimising its printer products and services, so as to provide users around the world with more diverse product choices and convenient user experience.
