London, UK, 18^th November 2024 – Canon UK & Ireland is excited to announce it’s been included in the University of Essex framework for the provision of Multifunctional Print Devices and Associated Digital Transformation Solutions.

In addition to acquiring Multifunctional Devices (MFDs), the framework provides access to a comprehensive suite of digital transformation solutions. These solutions leverage the latest market hardware, software, services and solutions to deliver efficient and effective digital transformation for end users. Canon’s successful inclusion was based on meeting a number of important evaluation criteria including value for money, quality and capability benchmarks, in the framework’s solution categories¹.

With over 45 years’ experience supporting the public sector, Canon brings to the Framework it’s broad portfolio of hardware, software, managed print services and solutions to provide customers with value across all of the categories. It’ll provide access to a range of devices, from small desktop units to large reprographic machines, across various specifications defined by print speed, size, cost, security and purchase or lease options.

Canon’s all-in-one MFPs are designed to drive digital transformation, enhancing productivity and efficiency, without compromising on quality. These innovative devices work hand-in-hand with smart software to digitise business processes as well as software solutions such as uniFLOW Online. Canon has recently received the Buyers Lab (BLI) 2024-2025 Pacesetter Award in Serviceability - a prestigious industry award from Keypoint intelligence² - an independent evaluator of print and smart technology hardware, software and services.
