Canon launches cloud connectivity for imageRunner Advance platform

imageRunner Advance Cloud Connect enables businesses to streamline processes and capitalize on existing print and IT investment with the ability to scan to and store paper documents on Microsoft SharePoint Online or Google Docs from their MFD without the need for a PC. Stored data can then be accessed simultaneously by multiple users regardless of location on a variety of platforms including a PC, mobile device or smartphone, or printed directly from the imageRunner Advance device.

The enhancement to the imageRunner Advance series of MFDs can be installed quickly using Canon’s Content Delivery System (CDS). This functionality is made possible thanks to Canon’s open, Java-based development platform known as “MEAP” (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform). imageRunner Advance Cloud Connect will be available to new and existing customers on all imageRunner Advance models across Europe from April 2011.
