Egham, 4th September 2013 – OKI Europe Ltd launched its new range of A4 mono MFPs, the MB700 Series, designed to expand on the recent success of the award winning MC700 Series of A4 colour MFPs launched earlier this year.  
The MC700/MB700 Series provide additional levels of business productivity through sXP (smart Extendable Platform), an embedded open platform offering enhanced workflow integration and document management, across the business. The new range of mono and colour MFPs provide additional flexibility, allowing organisations to select the model and options specific to their business needs, for optimum print effectiveness.
Over the past 18 months, OKI has added to its SMB offering with a series of products which have been well-received by micro, small and medium sized business users. As a result, OKI has increased market share, reinforcing the company’s reputation for its customer-centric approach in providing businesses with reliable, high-quality and cost-effective print solutions.
“Our new portfolio of A4, colour and mono MFPs extends this successful approach to the larger workgroup and enterprise market,” confirms Harry Takahashi, managing director, OKI Europe Ltd, “this is down to a combination of enterprise-class functionality, security and flexibility, backed by comprehensive document workflow support.
“By improving the way documents are handled, managed and processed, this will deliver significant operational efficiencies and cost savings to the organisation, ensuring that their print capability fully supports the broader objectives of the business.”
Award winning Technology
