Brother on
G-Cloud 6
Brother UK has been included as an
approved supplier on the government’s
G-Cloud 6 framework, making it easier
for healthcare professionals to procure
its OmniJoin conferencing solution.
OmniJoin enables GPs to initiate secure
video consultations by sending a link that
patients can access from a PC, Mac, laptop,
iPhone or iPad.
Andrew Ostler, head of the Omnijoin business
unit at Brother UK, said: “Our status as an
approved supplier on the G-Cloud 6 framework
comes at a perfect time. The NHS is facing
mounting pressure to employ technology solutions
to improve access to care and we feel that our
25 years’ experience in the sector puts us in a
good place to understand challenges doctors are
currently facing.”
He added: “Telehealth, which is the delivery
of health services via technologies, has been
very successful in the USA, reducing the cost
of care by 27%. We believe that it will become
increasingly popular in the UK, helping healthcare
professionals provide more relevant care to
patients, as and when they need it. OmniJoin will
play an important part in this offering, providing
a secure, remote way for doctors to consult with
patients.”

service, sales and accounts departments.”
Free app version of
EuroForm JetAdvice
EuroForm has launched a free app version
of JetAdvice Manager that can be used
as a standalone MPS tool or as a mobile
extension for existing Jet Advice users.
JetAdvice is a cloud-based Assessment and
Print Management solution that provides a total
overview of a company’s printing fleet usage,
helping them to keep operational costs low and
minimise environmental impact.
After downloading the JetAdvice Free
Android or iOS app, users just need to install
a Data Collector, which collects data from
network printers and MFPs. Device information
is displayed in a dashboard, giving users a pie
chart overview of their printer estate.
The app also provides a list of monitored
devices so that you can quickly find the printer
you’re looking for, including an image, name,
supply status, print/copy usage and its GPS
position on a map.
Kim Niebling, founder and CEO of EuroForm,
said: “The development team spent over 6
months building an app that uses the same
data as our worldwide leading managed print
solution, JetAdvice Manager. In that way,
JetAdvice Free gives you the power of exploring
your printer environment directly by hand. And,
as the name implies, it’s free.”
In a separate announcement, EuroForm has
named Irish ICT solutions and services provider
Datapac Ltd as its partner of the year.
In a statement, the company wrote:
“Datapac has been fundamental in valuable
product and business feedback, has helped us
understand the needs of the market and shape
our current and future product development.
On the business front, this partner has shown
continual growth in the number of devices
being managed through JetAdvice Manager,
providing a benefit for both their customers
in managing the printer environment and for
the partner itself by increasing revenue and
profitability.”
