Customer Story
Jason White – Licensee of Elders Real Estate – Redcliffe
Elders Redcliffe needed software that would be able to perform desktop publishing functions, keep track of all the electronic documents being created and, on occasion, scan the text from other printed documents, Mr. White’s sales rep recommended three software products from Canon – imageWARE Publishing Manager, imageWARE Document Manager
and FineReader (iW 360 contains iW PM and iW DM)

“I knew we’d need software to help us create better-looking handouts and displays – and if the software
was optimised to work with the imageRUNNER, so much the better,” said Mr White.

“Additionally, I knew that at anytime we might have a developer walk in with a proposal and we’d need software that could take all the things in that proposal – which might be text, images or a combination of the two – and combine them into one new, attractive document – fast.”
