Y Soft's Martin de Martini says it's vital that organisations continue to train and motivate their employees.

"It’s important to take the entire organisation into consideration to avoid difficulties such as delays and scalability."

Digital transformation is an extremely well-worn term in IT circle but that's for a good reason as it comes with a host of benefits - and risks.

Enterprise office solutions provider Y Soft has grown its sales volume over the 2017-2018 fiscal year by 45%, equating to US$45 million (AU$62.9 million).

Businesses yet to embrace paperless processes or those that only use them in part of their business need to move fast.

A transition to a cloud-based solution can remove some administrative tasks that internal IT teams currently face, and it can reduce related costs.

As theNotifiable Data Breaches (NDB) requirements roll in this week, now is a good time to think about GDPR and its implications for Australians.

A number of studies have proven there is a significant skills shortage in AU which is holding back digital transformation - Y Soft have the answers.

Even the popular method of scanning to email comes with dangers - what can happen if something goes wrong?

Y Soft says given the surge of digital transformation and cloud, vendors need to be looking at ways to add value to their channel partners.

"Businesses seem to overlook a key area of potential vulnerability: the networked printer. This vulnerability isn’t just theoretical."

Kiwi businesses need to crack down on mobile device security to take advantage of mobile printing, says Y Soft’s Hyder Mohammed.

“An organisation with 50 servers and 1,000 print devices that reduces its print servers to just 12 can save more than $200,00 a year on server costs."

Believe it or not, print management can save finance teams time and costs - it’s just a matter of how they focus their solutions.

Implementing the right print-and-scan management solution can help SMBs achieve significant competitive benefits without breaking the budget.

By taking a few relatively simple steps, businesses can save money and time, while letting employees access the print facilities they need.

“Ultimately this will yield more opportunities for existing partners, and may even lead to new channel partnerships.”

There are a number of costs associated with printing, which include ink, paper and servicing - and that's nothing to say of the human costs it brings.

“By eliminating servers, businesses can bring down the total cost of ownership compared with solutions that require a print server."

Student access to 3D printers across the globe is being restricted across the globe by education institutions, despite the learning benefits.

Print security is once again in the spotlight, after new research revealed that 61% of enterprises have suffered an insecure printing data breach.

If employees in your business scan documents direct to email, it could be a huge security risk and breach privacy requirements, according to Y Soft.

“This can happen when there is a lack of ideas or technical skills to use 3D printing."

“However, security concerns are stopping some businesses from adopting it, despite the organisational efficiencies it can offer."
