About Us

DirectEd Online provides solutions which integrate seamlessly into your business.

Our beginning started in 1980 working in an after-school program for a commercial printer in Brooklyn NY. The days were spent sweeping floors, then; working in the bindery, darkroom, stripping, platemaking, pressman, eventually becoming a Print Production Manager in Manhattan, all by the amazing age of 20! Over the years the level of intelligence/expertise has increased exponentially always being shared with our clients’ and employees.

One of the ingredients leading to success, was instilled from my father’s teachings. Stay focused on the task at hand, perform that duty better than anyone and in time your dreams will come true. Dad lived to a ripe old age of 93, being born in 1901 then serving in World War II, afterwards worked for the Penn Central Railroad for 40 years. DirectEd’s determination stems from believing “if you build it, they will come” they in this case “being our clients”.

EXPERIENCE DESIGN STRATEGY

FUTURE OFFICE

History suggests there are four main reasons for organizations to bother to be in offices at all. These are the reasons we have offices today and, to varying degrees, they continue to drive the need for office space in a post COVID 19 world.

The Importance of each has shifted over time as the office moves from a place of management to a place of engagement and inspiration.

Social needs for the employees that reinforce the culture of the organization. This includes personal social needs of employees, but also the corporate benefits of collaboration, mentoring, learning and development, and creative ideation.

Productive environments for office workers top feel comfortable & focused..

Management requirements for centralized command and control. While this may have been a primary reason for office space historically, it is now the least common of these drivers.

EMPLOYEE TOUCHLESS LOCKERS

TOUCHLESS AGNOSTIC PRINT SOLUTIONS

As firms reopen and employees return to the office and once again use shared devices, employers and employees are faced with how to perform these necessary functions while limiting interaction with the control surfaces of frequently used devices. Fortunately, there are mobile device applications that can provide a touchless way to carry out those tasks. As we provide an agnostic solutions, we will address your needs and recommend a brand which is best suited for your office.

Today’s shared printers and copiers are endpoints on an organization’s network. Using a Wi Fi connection and the appropriate app on a worker’s smartphone or tablet, any document stored on the mobile device or in a cloud storage service can be sent to a network printing device just as if it was sent from a networked PC. In today’s security conscious world, though, it’s common for IT departments to control network device access by requiring employees to authenticate themselves before releasing a print or scanning a document. Historically, this involved entering a passcode or PIN, which meant the worker still needed to touch the device’s control panel.

AGNOSTIC BREAKROOM SOLUTIONS

Engaging in any activity without a break, whether enjoyable or laborious, makes it difficult for the mind and body to relax and regain balance. This is particularly true in the workplace, where stress can be constant and relief options minimal. Establishing a dedicated area where employees enjoy some downtime during the workday is a strategic move that can reap many positive benefits for the company and workers alike.

The basic principle of an employee break room is for employees to temporarily disengage from the steady stream of daily tasks. It only takes a brief respite in this work-free zone for people to relax and recharge, a combination that brings with it a greater level of productivity, job satisfaction and general health.

Some companies have elevated the concept of workplace break rooms to such a level that employees almost feel as though they've been treated to a spa day during their lunch hour. From mood lighting to nature sounds, plants to distilled drinking water, and cushioned floor pads to massage recliners, a growing trend is to create an oasis where people can refresh with meditation, short naps or light exercise.
