Eat That Frog is a community interest company that offers bespoke education to young learners who may have struggled to thrive in mainstream schools or colleges. The organisation approached BAYtek Office Solutions, when it was looking to purchase new technology to ease and enrich the learning experiences it offers. The installation of uniFLOW Online and a number of devices from Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE portfolio has allowed Eat That Frog to see instant productivity gains. Printer downtime has been optimised, whilst less paper is wasted due to uniFLOW Online’s ability to only release what is needed whilst fully tracking print costs. Streamlining print procedures through has also helped Eat That Frog improve its environmental impact. With the solution offering finishing options that can be changed at the device before printing, reprinting and false output is avoided. uniFLOW Online also eliminates ‘always on’ print servers, which is helping to reduce the amount of power used across the organisation’s print infrastructure. BAYtek Office Solutions has been a Canon partner for 11 years and was recently awarded Gold Partner status. www.baytek.co.uk Pro Cloud SaaS partners with directprint.io Pro Cloud SaaS has announced a global partnership with directprint.io.

The platform will be used by its members to share advice and insight on how the mid-market can navigate today’s greatest challenges and use technology to scale effectively. The C-Level Innovation Club is available through invitation or application – and only to individuals who identify as C-level or IT Directors, providing an opportunity for both online and inperson discussion and resource-sharing. Interim Chair, Tarek Meliti said: “The past few years have been without doubt the hardest for many in business. Leadership – from the IT department through to finance– have lost vital insight as many of the traditional routes to gaining knowledge have either withered on the vine, or simply seized up. My peers and I felt the time was right to launch the C-Suite Innovation Club for business leaders to come and share ideas and experiences, and look for help and guidance from those who have been through a particular experience themselves.” 01732 759725 6 Fnd out more at: www.binfo.co.uk/golf-society.php 2 0 2 2 Tarek Meliti RJ Hines
