61% organisations in Morocco worry about losing sensitive documents that they print out


Morocco - July 24, 2016 – With offices across the region rapidly investing in digital infrastructure, a new report from Canon Middle East, world leader in imaging solutions, notes that 61% organisations in Morocco worry about losing sensitive documents that they print out, which means that document safety is a concern for more than a half of organisations.

This was revealed in the Office Insights 2016 report released by Canon Middle East that aims to understand how working practices are evolving in the digital era and examines the impact of document handling technology in high-growth markets in the Middle East and Africa. 

Though the report said that 82% of end users agree that printing or copying documents is “essential” or “very important” for them personally, it also startlingly revealed that 76% organisation in Morocco do not measure print costs.

The report comes at a time when government data generation and digital archiving rates are climbing across the Middle East, with both public and private sectors seeking smart solutions to improve organizational efficiency and data governance.

The latest research found that documents and information continue to be the lifeblood of any business. This is particularly true of printed documents, with 64% of those surveyed saying that they print more now than they did three years ago and 29% saying they will spend more on printing, copying and scanning devices, and software in the next three years.

“Technology is playing a vital role in shaping the future for businesses; and the continued growth of digitisation is an important trend. Digital documents and information are driving companies forwards, but also challenging them in completely new ways,” commented Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East and Canon Central and North Africa. “These trends look set to continue for the foreseeable future, and our report demonstrates that high-growth markets are the best placed to handle the changing landscape. Unencumbered by legacy IT systems, these markets can be more agile and quick to take up new technologies that can increase efficiencies and productivity.”

The Office Insights 2016 Report is an independent market research report of 1,000 business decision-makers and end-users in key countries in the Middle East, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and Eurasia.
