uniFLOW Online For Education

uniFLOW Online is a scalable and modular platform to manage all printing, copying and scanning workflows in any facility within the education sector. It enables schools to realise significant cost savings via a range of features. Some of these features include “job routing” so that documents are rerouted to the most cost-efficient printer, or automatic deletion of jobs which have not been released within a set period. uniFLOW Online also provides improved security benefits. The secure print function can be enhanced by introducing intelligent scan workflows to add a real business process advantage.

Your needs will dictate whether a device-based or server-based licensing model will be required. With the two different licensing models, Canon can provide the most cost-effective solution to suit via a monthly subscription.

Cost savings are dependent on the feature set that is implemented. Most savings result from the automatic deletion of uncollected print jobs, correct cost allocation, rerouting of print jobs to more efficient devices and optimisation of scan processes. Schools typically see cost-savings when implementing secure print. Adding extra features will, of course, lead to increased productivity and further cost savings.

If your school currently runs print management on servers, you could also potentially benefit from cost savings relating to the maintenance and the hardware itself.

uniFLOW is a server-based print, scan and device management solution and has a very large feature set so it can be expanded to cover additional processes such as scanning, mobile printing or production printing. It can also be customised to cater for a schools' specific requirements.

uniFLOW Online is a cloud-based secure printing solution suitable for schools who don't want to invest in, manage or maintain local servers.

uniFLOW's budget functionality has been designed to work with the double wallet concept differentiating between primary and secondary wallets to distinguish between top-ups made by a school, and top-ups made by students. The funds from both wallets are combined to make the total available budget which a student will use to print or copy. The primary wallet is charged first for print and copy costs. The secondary wallet is accessed once the primary wallet is depleted or has insufficient funds.
