Fax Machines Pull Double Duty
If you work in an office, you probably already know how
indispensable the office fax machine, copy machine and scanners
are to the people who work in the office. The day to day goings
on in the office world involve the copying, scanning and fax
transmission of scanned and copied documents around the world on
a daily basis.
One of the most convenient developments in the world of
"convergence products" (a class of products that have been
developed as hybrid devices that perform the tasks and have the
full capabilities of multiple devices) is the office
Fax/Scanner/Copier devices that are becoming popular in SOHO and
enterprise office environments around the world.
Within this class of product are several tiers of devices with
varying levels of functionality. Entry level SOHO units are
small desktop or tabletop devices that are not much larger than
a standard fax machine. These devices usually connect to a host
PC via USB or Ethernet (or both) and allow programs that can
utilize its printing, faxing, scanning and copying capabilities
to use it for any of these purposes. These small office machines
replace an entire shelf of electronics that not only take up
floor space, but also require users to visit multiple machines
to accomplish one task.
On the higher end of the digital convergence office machines
lives devices like Konica Minolta's "BizHub" line of devices.
These convergence units can perform all the roles of the smaller
tabletop units, but also function as a network center for road
warriors to connect back to the office and utilize the resources
on site as if they were there. The BizHub line of devices allow
for employees on the road to connect back to the office via a
secure VPN connection enabled by the BizHub device. Users on the
network can share data with off site employees as if they were
in the same room. No need to deal with emails and attachments
and disorganized communications. This new breed of office device
does the job of many other devices while enabling inter-office
communication that simply was not possible before its
development.
