(Thomson Reuters ONE) - - Datamonitor and Canon White Paper highlights need to control costsand rethink business processes- Pragmatic approach to technology adoption as opposed to 'forklift'upgrade recommended as European organisations prepare for economicupturnLONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - July 20, 2009) - Editors Note:There are two photos and a video associated with this Press Release.Canon Europe (http://www.canon-europe.com/), world leader in digitalimaging technology, today launched a White Paper on strategies forrethinking business processes as European organisations eye economicrecovery.Leading analyst house Datamonitor's paper: Readying for Recovery; aPragmatic Approach to Organisational Change(http://www.canon-europe.com/About_Us/Press_Centre/Press_Resources/White_Papers_and_Reports/Enterprising_Business.asp)suggests that a low-risk, incremental approach to operational changecan be more effective than a root-and-branch reform.With signs of 'green shoots' of economic recovery the paperacknowledges that organisations across a variety of vertical sectorsstill face major external challenges including increasedglobalisation, tougher regulations and government policies,employment rights and environmental priorities.In response to the demanding conditions, organisations are lookingclosely at cost controls(http://www.canon-europe.com/About_Us/Press_Centre/Press_Resources/White_Papers_and_Reports/Enterprising_Business.asp),internal efficiencies and core business activities. Business-ownersmay have become fixated with short- and mid-term goals to survive thedownturn, but they also need to plan for a return to growth in themid- and long-term future.Datamonitor highlights that to achieve business success, moredecision-makers are focusing on increasing customer satisfaction,followed by raising efficiency, improving supplier relationships,cutting costs and increasing revenues. This will have to be achievedwith static infrastructure and IT spending, meaning companies need tointegrate any new IT systems within their existing framework andensure there is flexibility for future upgrades, to remaincompetitive.Datamonitor's paper recommends that organisations look at holisticcost management and control as well as automated and personalised ITsystems that integrate easily into existing technology platforms.Tim Gower, Senior Analyst, Datamonitor says: "In contrast to whatsome business leaders may think, we advise organisations to focus onan adaptive approach to reviewing business practices. A low-risk,pragmatic approach allows change to occur in gradual measures, onebusiness process or application at a time, rather than as a'forklift' upgrade."Adam Gillbe, Office Solutions Marketing Manager, Canon Europe says:"The Datamonitor report clearly shows that IT systems need to beintegrated and flexible so that organisations can respond to changingbusiness conditions in a timely manner. Our goal at Canon is to helpcustomers improve business processes and reduce costs withoutcompletely overhauling their IT systems. Our new imageRUNNER ADVANCEplatform of multifunctional printers (MFPs), due for launch acrossEurope in November, specifically addresses these issues.
