Canon Printer Ink Technology To Be Fitted With Oracle Software

Canon has teamed up with Oracle to integrate the firm's software into its imaging technologies.

According to the printer ink firm, it will combine Oracle's database, middleware and Java ME capabilities into its multifunction office systems.

On top of this, Canon IT Solutions plans to start delivering printers and copiers including image RUNNER ADVANCE technology connected with Enterprise Resource Planning applications from Oracle in 2012.

The company added that the latest developments will help businesses increase their workflow efficiencies and document processes.

Recently, Canon released its uniFLOW 5.1 single platform technology designed to manage print and scanning jobs sent from mobile devices in organisations to provide them with the most cost effective system.

Nikki Paine, uniFLOW marketing manager at the printer ink firm, said: "Recent research found that over half of workers using smartphones can't print from their device, but want to.

"With uniFLOW v5.1, organisations can offer their staff flexible ways of working, including mobile printing."
