The company has become the first Indian MPS provider to “provide solutions powered by Sentinel”, as CRN reveals.
Sentinel is “a print management software with flexible, modular architecture that can be customised according to the printing/copying/scanning needs of any organisation.”
The deal between the Israeli-based ePaper and the Indian MPS provider arose due to concern over printer security, an issue put into stark relief in 2017 when a white-hat hacker managed to infiltrate 150,000 unsecured printers.
Manish Garg, Chief Executive – MPS, WeP Solutions, said, “With this agreement, WeP has become the first service provider in the country to offer a secure and stable printing environment for Indian businesses. The usage of multi-purpose printers or MFPs is prominent in small-to-large organisations because it makes day-to-day operations easier. However, this also exposes them to security vulnerabilities. Organisations must take measures to protect their print environment as it is widely prone to attacks and printers, by default, have no security. Products powered by Sentinel will not only improve security surrounding printing, scanning and copying but also decrease costs through the reduction of wastage and optimisation of toner usage.”
The agreement will see WeP providing ePaper with “security, cloud printing, and device management.”
Sentinel safeguards security by having users identify themselves “using their single sign-on corporate tag, staff/employee card, or a PIN code”, which means that restricted documents can only be viewed by the person sending them.
