With uniFLOW and Canon you can:
Spend Control. Take control of print budgets. |

Take control of all costs associated with printing and scanning with one platform. uniFLOW incorporates built-in dashboards and reports that help you to expose the true cost of print, copying and scanning across your enterprise. See exactly what you’re spending, who’s spending it and how to recover costs and make economies. |
Do you know how much you spend on print in your organisation? According to market research conducted by Gartner, as much of 1-3% of a company’s annual revenue can be spent on printing. Much of these costs are hidden in departmental budgets or are found in general office administration costs.
Canon can help you take control of all your printing, copying and scanning costs – either across a Canon-only or a mixed printer brand environment, and whether managed by you or by us.
uniFLOW incorporates built-in dashboards and reports that help you to expose the true cost of print, copying and scanning across your enterprise. See exactly what you’re spending, who’s spending it and how to recover costs and make economies. Any savings made from running uniFLOW in your organisation are also recorded, allowing you to see the true return on investment achieved.
uniFLOW’s intelligent routing technologies enable administrators to formalise rules on how and where documents are printed (and in what form). This avoids large jobs causing queues at desktop printers and ensures economies through central control of colour print volumes.

Canon can help take the hassle out of printing, no matter how users want to send their print jobs. uniFLOW allows desktop and mobile device users to send sensitive documents to any network printer and only print when they are there to collect them. So everyone can choose when and where they print, safe in the knowledge that their documents remain secure.
Scanning too is made simpler. uniFLOW enables users to quickly and easily scan and compress documents from Canon multifunctional printers directly to email or file systems such as Microsoft® SharePoint® or Canon’s ThereforeTM. Personalised workflows that follow users across the fleet, provide a consistent user experience. |
Users can save time spent manually searching for information. Paper documents can be quickly and easily converted into digital format – improving the ability to search and share information, as well as helping to automate key internal document processes.

Safeguard data and protect intellectual property |

Information leakage in any organisation is a very serious threat. With uniFLOW, confidential data is monitored and costly information leaks are avoided. |
Data breaches as a result of unsecured printing of sensitive information, such as contractual agreements, staff payroll information, research and development plans (etc.) can be detrimental to any organisation – damaging its reputation and brand image, as well as leaving it open to heavy fines.
Secure printing with Canon helps keep all your sensitive information confidential. By implementing access controls at the printer and applying encryption to printed documents they can only be accessed by authorised users using a PIN number or their building pass. Mobile users and visitors can also securely access any printer in the network using either a BYOD or company mobile device – without compromising the network. Canon’s solution enables the integration of your printing and scanning facilities into your existing DLP strategy, allowing you to apply the same security policies to your printers and multi-functional devices.
For an extra layer of protection, our optional security modules will enable you to capture, archive and audit all imageRUNNER device jobs across your networks to monitor and report on confidential document data – so you can see when information leaks happen and stop potential leaks before they occur.

Benefit of Canon’s uniFLOW solution:
Reduce the environmental impact across your entire print infrastructure |

Canon can help reduce your environmental impact and support your sustainability initiatives, not only by optimising the way you print but also by improving internal processes that rely heavily on paper. Our server-less print and scan management infrastructure solutions bring access to business-essential document services without placing a burden on internal IT teams to manage servers and devices. |
Canon’s solution helps to prevent unnecessary paper waste by allowing users to print only what they need. Detailed reports provide visibility on who is wasting paper and/or toner, encouraging a ‘think before you print’ mentality.
We can help you optimise your print infrastructure by reducing the number of ‘Always On’ print servers across remote offices, which consume significant amounts of energy, and by providing you with one server application to manage your print and scan infrastructure – helping you to reduce environmental impact and unlock efficiencies. Meanwhile, a print policy that automatically enforces double sided printing in black and white can help to significantly reduce the amount of supplies used and improve sustainability – sending a strong message about your commitment to the environment.

Canon makes it easy for you to produce, share and protect the documents that underpin day-to-day business activity. Our secure and scalable ‘one platform’ solution adapts and grows with your business. It embraces support for flexible and nomadic working practises and encourages a move away from paper-based workflows towards digital automated processes. Our one platform approach also helps IT and facilities teams to provide their internal stakeholders with the document solutions they need at a fraction of the cost of traditional ‘mix-and-match’ solution alternatives. |
Canon’s integrated print and scan management software approach goes further than any other enterprise solution to provide a single view of your document services ecosystem. Users enjoy a consistent user experience and a personalised user interface that follows them between multi-function printer/copier/scanner devices and dedicated wide format printers and network scanners. Administrators benefit from greater consistency in consumables items, simpler maintenance procedures and an integrated help-desk service covering all aspects of your Canon deployed solution.
