Move to meet changing regional digitization needs
Epson has launched its new range of flexible scanning solutions at GITEX 2023 to cater to the region’s growth industries, including healthcare, logistics, financial services, and the public sector. These industries increasingly rely on scanning documents for verification, security, compliance, and other business needs.
Epson’s new desktop compact, space-saving scanning solutions have the smallest footprint scanner while in use. With commercial office space at a premium across the region and organisations prioritising lower power consumption in their technology, the new series of Epson’s A4, eco-friendly scanners consume less energy, are built with up to 30% recycled plastic and are specifically designed for smaller office spaces, according to a press statement.
Recent Epson survey findings reveal that 74% of IT decision makers and users see a high demand for new scanning technology due to digitalization, an increase that may lead to the global scanner market potentially reaching US$ 2.68bn (AED 9.66bn) by the end of 2023.
The survey results also show that scanning using portable platforms such as smartphone and tablet apps have gained popularity, meeting the demands of users for on-the-go document digitization and remote and hybrid work models.
Digitalization
Acting as the door to digitalization from shifting analogue information to digital processes, the new scanning range is a versatile solution with many innovative features such as two-pass features, and document capture pro software included.
“We are witnessing a major shift towards digitalization, increasing the need to capture and manage data from hard copy forms and paper documents. The demand for scanning technologies will rise, especially if complemented with the right automation software,” commented Suat Ozsoy, Business Unit Director, Middle East Business Units, Epson EME.
“Epson’s new scanner range addresses a number of issues, requiring considerably less space and reduced power to operate while delivering speed, quality, and flexibility in the scanning of everything from invoices and receipts to passports and business card,” he added.
