NewField IT has released a PaperCut
connector for its CompleteView User
Analytics software. The connector
will enable organisations to explore
data generated by PaperCut in great detail
to support fact-based decision-making.
CompleteView User Analytics takes data
generated by Equitrac, SafeCom, Print Audit and,
now, PaperCut and displays it in a graphical
format that makes complex data easier to explore
and understand.
Bob Hoskins, Head of Innovation at NewField
IT, said: "Analytics is a critical deliverable in
any services engagement. CompleteView User
Analytics gives clients full insight into their
printing environment and enables a deep-dive into
user behaviours to drive real cost savings both
up-front and in the future."NewField IT plans to
launch additional connectors throughout 2016.

growing private companies. With a 91.28%
increase in profitability since 2012, the MSP

CEO Rod Tonna-Barthet said: “As a company,
we have evolved our strategy over the past few
years as we set in place the foundations needed to

Xerox for NEPA
Six regional higher education procurement and
purchasing consortia, led by the North Eastern
Universities Purchasing Consortia (NEUPC),
have selected Xerox as a supplier of tech and
managed print services for the National Education
Printer Agreement (NEPA). The NEPA framework
agreement for the higher and further education
sectors has an estimated value of £10
million this year and will run for two
years, with the possibility of two
one-year extensions.
First steps
FT Solutions, a communication and branding solutions provider, has taken
its first steps in 3D printing with the installation of a ProJet 660Pro full
colour 3D printer from Canon. One of the first services it plans to offer is
the printing of lifelike figurines of customers beside their favourite sports
person or celebrity. FT Solutions managing director Tom Gurd believes
the company’s new FT3D division could generate more than £500,000 of
business in its first year.

Apogee completes
Kon-x Wales acquisition
Copyrite automates
processes with 2serv
Copyrite Digital Systems has selected
Purpose Software’s 2serv service
management solution to enhance
operational efficiency and further automate
workflow processes.
The Liverpool-based Ricoh Premier Partner
is deploying the software on a subscription
basis without the need for any upfront capital
expenditure.
A key factor in Copyrite’s decision to deploy
2serv is that it integrates tightly with Sage,
giving a single point of access and eliminating
the need to rekey data into separate systems. A
live link ensures that invoices created in 2serv
are immediately available in Sage.
Copyrite will also be installing 2roam to
increase the productivity of its field service team.
The mobile application empowers engineers
equipped with tablets, smartphones and other
mobile devices to access and update 2serv from
any location.
Copyrite Digital Systems Service Manager Ray
Allan said: “As well as improving the efficiency of
our service operation, 2serv will give us greater
control over the end-to-end stock management
process. It will enhance our ability to provide a
responsive, customer-focused service by ensuring
that we always have the optimum stock levels to
meet all SLAs.”
Document Data
Group takes space in
Eurocentral
Document Data Group has opened new
premises at Eurocentral on the M8
in Lanarkshire, 30 minutes from both
Edinburgh and Glasgow airports.
The UTAX and Canon dealer will maintain its
current East Kilbride headquarters and use the
additional 2000sq ft. of space at Eurocentral for a
showroom, boardroom, three executive offices and
an open plan sales area.
The opening of the new facility follows three
years of record sales and increased profits for
the supplier of MFPs, managed print services and
document management solutions.
Operation Director Justin Longmuir said:
“Continual re-investment in the Group over recent
years allows us to move into this state-of-the-art,
world class facility. It will be the face - the shop
window - of Document Data Group.”
He added: “Initially we will occupy just under
2,000 sq. ft., but that will expand very quickly
to 3,000 sq. ft., and there is capacity within the
building to extend to 9,000 sq. ft., which is not
beyond the bounds of possibility given our current
rate of growth."

business with very strong client relationships and
a reputation for superb local service and we are
