Gartner’s Magic Quadrant
Kyocera Document Solutions has announced its inclusion in the Gartner Magic Quadrant
for Managed Print Services, Worldwide. The firm has been building up its Managed
Document Services (MDS) business for the last few years and now meets all of the
inclusion criteria.
The Magic Quadrant for Managed Print Services is published annually and evaluates companies on
their completeness of vision and ability to execute Managed Print Services.
MDS stands for Managed Document Services. According to Kyocera, it is superior to Managed Print
Services (MPS) because where MPS only focuses on output, MDS optimises the entire document output
process – from capturing to archiving, workflows to security and environmental impact.

Better access to information
During this year’s Gartner Symposium ITxpo, 5-8 November in Barcelona, Spain, Andy Jones, Director
and General Manager at Xerox Europe explained how the sophisticated document capture and routing
features of a multifunctional device can be incorporated into a business process such as human
resources or finance and accounting to improve access to information. As information becomes easier to
manage, it’s better able to help boost productivity, cut costs and advance the move towards a paperless
office.

Canon has launched three document
capturing solutions that support mobile
working and help users connect to business
services that are hosted in the cloud.
The new solutions are CaptureOnTouch
Mobile, a free app for Apple iOS and Android
devices, enabling direct batch scanning with
Canon’s new Wi-Fi enabled scanners and sharing
documents to cloud applications; the ultra-
compact imageFORMULA
DR-C125W desktop
scanner with integrated
Wi-Fi, allowing wireless
scanning to smartphones,
tablets and PCs; and the
Canon Wi-Fi unit WU10,
an optional Wi-
Fi accessory
for Canon’s portable
scanners.
The new document capture solutions enable
mobile and remote workers and those within
office and retail environments to capture
documents directly to Apple iOS and Android
devices and share them immediately to cloud
applications or direct to pre-defined office
workflows. This means that organisations of all
sizes can capture, process and share data directly
at the point of capture; whether at the office,
retail outlet or on the go.

6th generation
ECOSYS
Kyocera Document Solutions’ new
five-strong printer family for the 40
to 60ppm A4 category offer very low
TEC (Typical Electricity Consumption)
and one of the lowest cost per page
in their class.
The TEC of the five-strong range is 30%
lower than its predecessors and the lower
energy consumption reduces both electricity
bills for customers and their CO2 emissions.
In addition each mono printer has long
life components as standard, with the
FS-4300DN, FS-4200DN and FS-4100DN
hosting a printer drum that lasts for up to
500,000 prints – 50 times longer than the
comparative models.
Product Manager Rachel Dean said,
“These new printers are faster, more energy
efficient and feature advanced technology.
The printers will only need to be serviced
once during the long life of the device and
the optional Data Security Kit makes the
range perfect for departments handling
sensitive data.”
