New corporate MFP management software now offers iPhone support

Xerox alliance partner, triboni, has introduced its Xerox Multi Functional Printer (MFP) suite, software which integrates some Xerox printers with corporate business processes – and offers support for the iPhone.

iPhone users can access these business processes – supported by Xerox’s Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) – remotely, bringing a new mobile dimension to the workflow. The software allows users to scan batches of documents on a Xerox MFP and send them directly to another person, location or workflow and store them in a content management system such as Xerox’s Docushare.

Mobile workers can retrieve, review and redistribute documents without the need for a PC or notebook computer meaning that even highly mobile workers can fully contribute to the workflow regardless of their physical location.

The software reduces manual intervention, reduces delays caused by filing mistakes and misplaced documents, eliminates data entry errors and accelerates workflows by automatically transmitting information to the people and applications that need it.

Mark Boyt, product marketing manager, Office Group, Xerox Europe said: “This is an excellent example of how innovative development can bring rapid business benefits.  In this case, Xerox’s EIP platform is the enabling technology for triboni’s software to integrate documents scanned on the Xerox MFP into a variety of business processes and workflows.  With process automation, the system helps companies to increase productivity and reduce errors and costs.”

The triboni MFP suite also comes with a number of web-based configuration and monitoring tools that allows controlling the scan process, workflow and overall system status.
