OFFER HELPS BUSINESSES TO DIGITISE

Offer helps businesses to get ahead with digitisation

With many offices currently getting to grips with digitisation, as well as hybrid working, a new exclusive offer from PFU (EMEA) LTD on one of its most popular scanners can help with both

hile much of society has returned to normal following the end of COVID-19 social distancing restrictions earlier this year, office work is a notable outlier. For many, going back to the 9-to-5 Monday-to-Friday in the office routine is not an attractive option, with many preferring to work at home all or part of the time.

Figures from the Office of National Statistics show that in early May, 38% of workers reported working at home for at least part of the week, compared to about 12% pre-pandemic. Of those who reported working at home, 24% were hybrid workers – working some of the week in the office – while just 14% worked at home all week.

This figure has remained broadly stable since the removal of social distancing measures earlier in the year, suggesting this trend is here to stay.

This means hybrid workers need equipment that ensures they can be as productive wherever they work, be it in the office, at home, or some other workspace.

This is where PFU (EMEA)’s latest offer can help employees to achieve that. PFU (EMEA) is offering a free Jabra Evolve2 30 headset with the purchase of a ScanSnap iX1600 desktop scanner between June 1 and September 30.

This means that when purchasing a ScanSnap iX1600 not only do workers get a high-quality scanner that can help with the digitalisation of office work, they also get a headset that provides high-quality sound on every videocall made, as it cancels out any background noise.

SCANSNAP IX1600

The ScanSnap iX1600 is the flagship model of the ScanSnap series and has been a favourite for office workers since it was launched. Among its features are an ability to scan A4-size documents in colour at 300dpi at speeds of 40 ppm/80ipm, and it comes with a 4.3inch touch screen to bridge the gap where the physical and digital meet.

The device comes with wifi connectivity, which makes it ideal for team-sharing and combined use with cloud services. It also features a receipt guide, which provides stable scanning for inconsistent paper sizes, and streak reduction to ensure the production of clean images. It can also scan to cloud services, desktop or document management applications.

It means that employees and/or teams can digitise and organise all their documents with simple, one-touch operation, making them accessible from anywhere.

The ScanSnap iX1600’s compact size also makes it ideal to use wherever, be it in the office or at home, meaning those working at home can process documents as easily and efficiently as if they were in the office.

JABRA EVOLVE2 30 HEADSET

Another growth area for office workers in the past couple of years has been videoconferencing. Even as employees have returned to the office, it is still a popular option, especially for international calls.

Increasingly, as videoconferencing becomes an established part of everyday working life employees are looking for better quality headsets and this is where the Jabra Evolve2 30 headset comes in. The headset enables users to have seamless and professional quality calls wherever they are. It has an advanced two-microphone audio system and noise cancellation technology as one of the criticisms of many systems is that background noise affects the quality of the call.

Whether in the office, at home or any other workspace, the Jabra Evolve2 30 headset significantly reduces background noise, which makes calls a more efficient and rewarding experience, reducing the need to try and find a quiet space or turning volumes up.

Both the Jabra Evolve2 30 headset and ScanSnap iX1600 can also help to digitalise office work. The pandemic is reckoned to have sped up the digitalisation of office work by about five to 10 years, given the number of people who had to work remotely but also communicate with each other and send documents.

Digitising documents helps employees and businesses to be more efficient as it saves on time having to look through – or look for – paperwork, keeps information in places that are secure, but easily accessible to all those that need to it, and makes transitioning between the office and home much easier.

The combination of the ScanSnap iX1600 and Jabra Evolve2 30 headset means that employees can share information and collaborate easier than ever before and in comfort.

HELP IN THE DIGITALISATION JOURNEY

The ScanSnap iX160 is just one of many offerings that dealers can suggest to their customers to help them on their digitalisation journey and make their employees more efficient wherever they work. For example, there are other scanners in the ScanSnap range, such as the iX100 portable wireless scanner, barely wider than a sheet of A4 paper, which enables high quality scanning on the go, as well as data storage solutions and ergonomically designed keyboards, to name but three.

Dealers can access resources about the ScanSnap iX1600 and the Jabra headset promotion at the PFU (EMEA) portal. The free Jabra Evolve2 30 headset must be claimed within 60 days of purchase. Instructions of how to do this are included in the terms and conditions.
