MSPs IT Hardware
Canon UK has signed a new strategic alliance partnership with AdEPT to combine Canon’s portfolio of print, imaging and software solutions with AdEPT’s managed IT services and technical knowledge.

The partnership will allow Canon customers to access AdEPT’s IT services and guidance around digital strategy, unified communications, print, and IT infrastructure management.

Services offered will include IT health checks, cybersecurity assessments, cloud readiness and network evaluations as well as wider IT audits. 

Phil Race, CEO, AdEPT Technology PLC (pictured above, left, alongside Yusuke Mizoguchi, managing director of Canon UK and Ireland), said, “Technology systems have so many moving parts, and many organisations are seeking out counsel on how to rationalise, optimise and reduce complexity, and in turn reduce cost.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Canon to offer its customers expert support, and the best technology solutions to drive success for the future.”

Craig Leverington, business services director, Canon UK and Ireland, added, “With cloud adoption and digitisation now commonplace across almost every organisation and sector, it’s vital our customers are fully supported on their digital journey.

“With many years’ experience working with large organisations to optimise IT infrastructure, we’re excited to have formed a partnership with AdEPT on this new venture.”

Canon IT Services, powered by AdEPT, will be available for select Canon customers from October 2022, before being expanded to its wider customer base in the coming months.

In 2023, a full portfolio of IT solutions as well as counsel on meeting compliance standards, effective hybrid working practices, process optimisation and supplier consolidation will be launched.
