document workflows
more secure by using the
security features available
in PDF solutions like its

Using PDF documents for more secure document
workflows
, reports that costs incurred by companies
due to data loss have increased by 23% to an
average of £2.6 million, with the cost of each lost
document rising to an average of £148.

Enhanced printing
services for mobile
workers
Cortado has released a new version of
its Cortado Corporate Server enterprise
mobility solution claiming that it supports
current iOS versions and Android for Work
in their entirety.
Cortado says that direct integration of the
native management functions of smartphones and
tablets into the rights management of Windows
Active Directory substantially simplifies the
management of mobile devices.
Android for Work and iOS 9 secure corporate
data on these devices and clearly separate
personal and business data and apps without the
need for complex, third-party management tools.
All apps, including email and calendar, can be
managed securely.
In addition to broad platform support, which
includes Windows Phone along with Android and
iOS, Cortado has expanded its print capability. With
Android Print, users can now print directly from an
Android smartphone/tablet to any available network
printer and code-protect their print jobs. iOS users
already had this capability.

In brief
Teachers printing more
Following a period of decline, there are signs that
printing by teachers is on the rise again. A new
study by KYOCERA Document Solutions – its third
annual
Education Technology
report – shows
that two thirds of teachers now print more than
3,000 sheets per term, up from 56% in 2014. The
importance of printing in the education sector
is highlighted by the fact that a third of both
teachers (34%) and students (33%) have a desire
for better quality printing, making it the second
most wished for technology improvement after
new PCs.
Data deletion guide
Kroll Ontrack has produced a guide to the
secure deletion of data in line with the European
Parliament General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR). Due to be enforced by 2018, GDPR will
replace the EU Data Protection Directive 1995
and unify data protection legislation across all 28
member states.
Extended warranties
OKI has introduced a three-year warranty period
for its premium large format inkjet printers. The
extended warranty programme, which covers print
heads and other replacement parts, is available
for all ColorPainter M-64s and H3-104s printers
installed by OKI authorised distributors and
dealers after April 1 2016.
