The Smart MultiXpress series MFP comprises ten new models from four different printer categories.
  • Samsung Knox™: Samsung Knox is a comprehensive mobile security solution that provides security hardening from the hardware through the application layer and implements a concept called “container” that is a separate secure execution environment for a set of pre-screened applications to run and store data. Knox is available for use by enterprises by giving IT departments the comprehensive control they need, without infringing on employee privacy. Employees may choose to store enterprise applications and data, allowing IT departments to manage the container through EAS (Exchange ActiveSync server). These features make Knox an ideal platform for both BYOD and IT managed deployments.

In addition, Samsung executive leadership will deliver a number of experience-focused speaking sessions, highlighting the potential of digital business for CIOs and CXOs as well as strategies to connect and manage their businesses.
