Canon enters document management

According to New Delhi news, Canon India on Tuesday entered the document management system business primarily aimed at the enterprise market. Initially, the company would be partnering its customers to optimize their print management, which would be followed by digitization of hard copies, archival, indexing, retrieval and workflow to provide end to end document imaging solutions.

Addressing a press conference here, Canon India President and CEO Kensaku Konishi said: “The enterprise segment is one of the crucial engagement areas for Canon and we realized that in the slowdown phase, each enterprise would look at saving costs by bringing in operational excellence. One of the major areas to look at it is the print infrastructure. This is the area where Canon is the technology leader and continues to innovate and deliver what it promises to its customers.” Canon India Senior Vice-President Alok Bharadwaj said that through their new division — Document Management Consulting Services — the company would provide corporate houses and enterprises consultancy and solutions ranging from installing printing devices to managing the entire process of printing more effectively.

“We aim to achieve Rs. 50-crore worth of revenue from the division by next year. Our goal is to handle 500 million documents under the service and expects to garner a share of 25 per cent of the estimated Rs. 150 management printing services in India by 2010. Our services will enable corporate houses to save up to 30 per cent of their costs. We will be working on a contractual basis, provide them with printing devices and consultancy services and we shall earn on per print,” he added.
