Supporting businesses in the region to drive productivity, efficiency and sustainable development and reinstating their position as a ‘Partner of Choice’ for their customers, Canon Middle East has unveiled a new concept of ‘Explore, Inspire, Improve’ as part of their ‘Canon for Business’ offering.

Canon for Business focuses on raising awareness around new technologies and solutions, after sales service to its customers to drive efficiency and cost-savings at scale across markets in GCC and ME. The technological evolution of Canon products for businesses, allows for streamlining of businesses process and achieve growth, through a business wide transformation.

According to market studies conducted by Canon, sectors such as healthcare, government and education generally spend the most on IT as compared to any other sector. According to Canon’s Office Insights report 2016, 79% of MENA organisations agree that technology creates a more secure office and believe that printing or copying documents is “essential” or “very important” for them personally.

“With digitisation becoming the most common technology trend in ME, influencing organisations and contributing to increased productivity, Canon’s new solutions are therefore aimed at helping these sectors and the organisations working in them simplify tasks, curb unnecessary costs and save time and resources,” said Shadi Bakhour, B2B Business Unit Director, Canon Middle East.

“The changes in the print industry mean that customers are now looking for relationships that are more than transactional. B2B success is not about printing more, it is about consultative partners that can offer creative solutions to business challenges,” added Shadi.

He added, “Canon is exploring the changing world of business and information and is drawing inspiration from our customers’ challenges to help improve their business; our new concept of ‘Explore, Inspire, Improve’ is reflective of these efforts where we provide a business process consultancy and work with our customers to build the best solution for their specific organisation, based on their business priorities.”
