In a recent podcast, Xerox Chief Technology Officer reveals to small business expert Steve Strauss the secrets to Xerox’s rich history of innovation.

Tablet-Like ExperienceCustomers today expect a tablet-like experience on all of their devices. One way to bring this into the office place is with Xerox’s transformative new technology, ConnectKey. Steve Hoover shares his tips on how you can swipe, tap and scroll your way to innovation with the ConnectKey devices with an engaging user interface.
Apps = AgilityThe process of getting work done has moved from your desktop to your pocket. Now apps have also moved from your phone to your multifunction printer and are particularly crucial to small businesses in order to remain productive and staying at the top of their game.
Workflow StreamlinedThe future of the workplace will see an even greater connection between the physical, digital and virtual world. This is something Xerox has been innovating in for decades. The most recent example of this bridging is with the new App Gallery in the Xerox multifunction devices.

Event focused on how Xerox is transforming the way businesses work
The Xerox global Future of Work Tour made a stop in Toronto this week to showcase Xerox’s new ConnectKey technology and introduce the new Workplace Assistant devices.
The Toronto event featured a keynote speech by Peter Leyden, the former managing editor of WIRED, who shared his insights on key periods of historical transformations and the impact such moments had on technology. Leyden shared how today’s early stages of a new technological boom era of the digitization of everything will change the way we work, impact our economic growth, improve our productivity and create and connect new industries.

Connecting the Physical World with the Digital World
In front of a packed audience, there was a common theme in each presentation: how Xerox was helping to connect the physical and digital worlds and the impact this will have on how people work.
“Xerox’s rich history is based on the interaction between technology and humans,” says Paul Smith, Vice President of the Xerox Research Centre of Canada. “We are working everyday [at Xerox] to merge the virtual, physical and digital worlds.”
As Steve Hoover, Xerox’s Chief Technology Officer, explained the new Xerox Connect Key devices are bridging this intersection and acting as the interface for the new ways to “get things done” in the workforce.
Transforming the Customer Experience
“The language of business is completely ready to transform,” says David ‘Shingy’ Shing, AOL’s self-proclaimed Digital Prophet.
Xerox’s mission with the new products is to once again transform the fundamental way that people work and as a means to transform the customer experience.
“We want to help people communicate and collaborate more freely,” says Toni Clayton-Hine, Chief Marketing Officer for Xerox.

“It didn’t come with much.”
That’s from Alexandra Levit, who speaks about, writes on, and explores workplace trends. She’s talking about the Xerox VersaLink C405, a ConnectKey-enabled multifunction printer, and she meant it as a compliment. Like just about anyone who works in a small business, she doesn’t have the luxury of an IT support crew. As such, any new technology has to be self-explanatory without a lot of cords and things that need to be hooked up.

Watch Alexandra Levit’s review of the VersLink C400 in the this video.
Alexandra likes the intuitive user interface on the VersaLink’screen. “No matter how you access it, the user experience is pretty much consistent.” Her printing needs are simple, with the most pressing issue being able to use print and scan functions for DropBox while she’s away from the office. The test? Print an especially long document from DropBox via her smartphone in her car. “It was ready by the time I got home,” she wrote in her blog.

Read Alexandra’s full review in her blog.
Editor’s note: Alexandra Levit is a paid contributor for Xerox. The drawing for the VersaLink C405 has already been held; congratulations to the winner, Sunny Bonnell of the brand marketing agency Motto.

“Sustainability” is one of today’s most frequently used yet most misunderstood terms. Many people consider it to be complex or costly when in reality, sustainability is just the opposite; its goal is to let you do more while “spending” less. That “less” can be anything from office costs, to physical energy, to environmental harm.
“Sustainability” is the state that is reached when we improve the way we work or live, realize economic benefit because of the improvement, and avoid adversely impacting the environment at the same time. Sustainability results when social, environmental and economic aspects are in balance and not one is compromised at the expense of the other.
Consider this: walking or biking to a destination rather than driving in a car is a simpler choice that brings a wealth of benefits both environmental (eliminate GHG emissions associated with driving), as well as personal (saving money on gas and improving your health). By walking or biking you’re no longer subject to the variability of the transportation schedule and have greater control of when you arrive at the destination. Definitely, a freeing experience – and one that epitomizes the notion of less is more.

Sustainability at Work
In the small and mid-size office setting, using scanning and then emailing, rather than printing and using postal mail, is likely to be much more sustainable. Environmental benefits come with efficient paper use (i.e. using paper only when needed), economic benefits arise from reduced costs for paper, ink and postage, and the social benefits of being able to communicate with peers and colleagues around the world easily and instantaneously. With this example, as with the idea of biking or walking, the more sustainable process is the […]
