How Epson technology is enabling Business as Usual in a hybrid work setting

Prior to the pandemic, remote work was a set-up that modern workplaces have partially integrated into their operations. With more industries shifting to this setting across the region, telecommuting continues to change the way things operate for most businesses.

After more than a year of living through lockdowns, a ‘hybrid’ work environment—combining in-office and remote work—is looking like an arrangement that is here to stay.

As companies study the best work setting for them, Epson is responding to the challenges that threaten business resilience in today’s unconventional work setup with efficient, compact, and precision technologies. Epson products help drive better productivity and cost effectiveness to help businesses recover faster as they navigate the ongoing effects of the pandemic.

High-Capacity Ink Tank Printers that run on remote control

The ongoing shift to remote work has decentralized volume printing. This called for enhanced services that would allow people to centrally monitor and control their printing needs from different locations.

Epson’s range of economical, single-function and multi-function EcoTank printers sport a variety of features that make it an ideal printer for remote working. Combining connectivity with functionality, these printers offer a mobile printing experience that can support operations in the new normal.

Epson Connect offers a suite of solutions that allow users to print, scan and copy using smartphones, tablets, or computers at home, in the office or from across the world:
• Email Print
Print your photos and documents from anywhere. Using any email-enabled device, send your file to an Epson printer’s unique email address for automatic printing.
• Epson iPrint Mobile App
Print or scan your photos, documents and webpages from your smartphone or tablet using online services. Epson iPrint is available for free on the App Store and on Google Play.
• Scan to Cloud
Use an Epson printer or scanner to scan your file and upload it to your online storage or “Cloud” account. You can access online services directly from the Epson iPrint Mobile App or the printer’s control panel.
• Remote Print Driver
Print files on a remote printer from a computer connected to the network. Print from any application to a compatible Epson printer by simply clicking on File > Print.

Projectors built for virtual collaboration

The new normal brought big changes to the usual office setting that most employees are accustomed to. With the implementation of strict social distancing protocols and safety guidelines, working in collaborative environments have become more challenging.

Luckily, Epson’s interactive projectors bring efficiency in wireless mobility technology which addresses the challenges of collaboration during this time. They are designed with the future of workplace in mind and aims to sustain business growth and maintain efficiency even when working from a safe distance.

It comes with the following features that enable immersive, safe presentations through a collaborative enterprise-level secured network:

Business as Usual in a hybrid work setting
A hybrid work environment is a new reality that the corporate world needs to face, especially for companies who are unable to go fully remote. This is where collaboration tools come in as a key to integrate relevant business applications to ensure teams have the right context to be effective both onsite and offsite.
