Remote device support in a changing work environment

IT helpdesks experience support dilemma: The demand for fast, efficient end user service and troubleshooting is a crucial driver for IT helpdesks as users expect real-time troubleshooting from their helpdesks. Support is often handled via external service providers, whilst the internal IT helpdesk is centralized. Connecting to multi-functional devices is often impossible due to the absence of local support staff, no VPN access or the device's isolation within Zero Trust networks. 

Groundbreaking remote device access

uniFLOW Online provides groundbreaking remote device access for internal IT helpdesks, allowing direct remote connection to Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE and Canon imageFORCE devices anywhere. An internet connection is the only prerequisite. A secure connection can be initiated to the devices' Remote User Interfaces as well as the device’s user interface using a VNC client or the Canon Remote Operation Viewer via uniFLOW Online.

The uniFLOW Online Device Remote Access Client allows the device to initiate a secure outbound connection to the company’s helpdesk. This allows IT helpdesks to assist users in real time, review settings, enter the device’s Service Mode and check interface configurations while using their familiar remote support tools.

Simple steps to initiate the connection

1. Initiate the connection via uniFLOW Online
2. Open the Device Remote Access Client
