For business leaders seeking to advance their companies’ digital transformation and put their infrastructure on a more stable, safe, and sustainable footing after 18 months of predominantly emergency procurement, the confusion surrounding future working locations and ways of working is problematic. How can organisations make the required investments in technology if their workplace strategy remains up for debate, while when and where people work from in the future is still unknown?
Businesses have attempted to answer this question by investing in systems that have the necessary level of flexibility, allowing them to accommodate any future requirements. For example, organisations have invested in cloud, which provides easy access from any location and can be scaled up and down when called for.
With an increasing number of vendors in the technology industry beginning to incorporate cloud services into their solutions, cloud is capable of future-proofing vital investment in hardware equipment, such as franking machines and multifunction. An example of this can be seen here at Quadient, as we’ve brought our adaptable, contemporary, and extensive solutions to the UK.

From a single control panel, S.M.A.R.T. supplies consolidated and well organised mail management that improves the efficiency of workflows and lessens the equipment footprint. What’s more, the solutions eliminate risk and transform mailing operations from what was previously a cost centre into a profitable one.

- Improvements in throughput speed and productivity
