Anand and Anand opts for Canon Managed Document Services

Anand and Anand, a leading law firm in India, has contracted its entire printing and scanning requirements to Canon by embracing Canon Managed Document Services (MDS). The move aims to help the law firm consolidate its printing infrastructure, since it deals with sensitive client information.

Canon has provided end-to-end printing solutions to Anand and Anand across their Noida and Chennai offices. The engagement has helped the company streamline its printing infrastructure and enhance its processes in both the locations.

Subroto Panda, CIO, Anand and Anand said, "Being a law firm, client confidentiality and judiciously managing manpower resources is our top priority. Canon's offering provided our company with the best solution available in the market and their expertise in dealing with critical printing infrastructure helped us consolidate our printers, scanners, fax and e-mail. With Canon offering us a customized solution we were able to scan and mail directly from the printer as well as have a clear oversight and a centralized control over the user access. Canon's software solutions also helped us keep a track on transmission of important client documents to ensure confidentiality. Ease of use, agility, printing capability, support services, and the fact that it is hardware-agnostic are the USPs of Canon MDS. Canon allows us to meet our evolving printing needs in a cost effective way."

The MDS will help Anand and Anand's aim of achieving standardization across offices as it will provide it accessibility to monitor and track company's print environment and usage on real-time basis.

Canon's Managed Document Services model also relieved the IT team of Anand and Anand to look at larger business requirements, be more productive and leave the printing needs to Canon.
