As more offices turn to remote work or a hybrid environment, it is now more essential than ever for businesses to arm their employees with the right tools to do their jobs wherever they are located. Sharp’s new bundles provide all the office hardware employees need, including a Dynabook laptop, docking station, Sharp network-ready monochrome laser printer, and a 3-year Synappx Go License, which allows mobile print capabilities. The bundles are available for a 36-month lease and come with three different levels: Essential, for teams that like to keep things simple; Advanced, for those that need more power; and Executive, which is for employees needing an on-the-go solution.

In addition to hardware and software, the bundles include optional security and remote monitoring. While the flexibility of work from anywhere scenarios have many advantages, they also present a unique set of IT challenges, such as the potential for more vulnerable endpoints, phishing and ransomware threats. To help mitigate these risks, Sharp’s security add-on bundle includes a Linksys AC1200 Dual Band Wireless Access Point with remote cloud setup and management system, as well as endpoint security services that offer antivirus and malware protection.
“We’re proud of this very timely technology solution that provides a single source to address all work office and home office needs,” said Shane Coffey, Vice President, Product Management, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America. “Since the start of the pandemic, there has been an increased level of cybersecurity threats, which can present a challenge to IT managers as they struggle to secure many home workspaces that are equipped with unknown equipment and potentially non-secure local infrastructures. With powerful security and IT monitoring options, our new product bundles help provide peace of mind for both businesses and employees while allowing them to perform their duties with the most advanced technology available for remote and hybrid work.”
