During the conference delegates attended many and varied information sessions ranging from moodles and e-portfolios through to computer security technology and server virtualisation. On session breaks delegates could wander around the venue and speak with various industry representatives, including BEAR Solutions.

The promotion of a giant teddy bear was run over the course of the two days and delegates simply had to name the bear. The person who named the bear most appropriately according to the BEAR Solutions representative won the bear. The winner of the promotion was Dallas Gill of St Philips Christian College who named the bear �ouis T Bearson�by using every letter from �EAR Solutions�

The system is controlled from their main branch at Altona Meadows, allowing central control over their printing and photocopy facilities across all their sites. The system operates via the patrons’ Library Card which can be used at any branch for payment of photocopying and printing.

"Baulkham Hills High School has been dealing with BEAR Solutions for 5 years. During this time, the company has installed our printing / photocopying cost recovery solutions. We also have the company produce our Photo ID cards and I use their EasyID software to order new cards. Recently we renewed our contract with BEAR Solutions and upgraded our system of cost recovery.

In my dealings with BEAR Solutions I have always found the Sales and Technical staff prompt in dealing with any issues that may arise - this has been critical because all students have to use their cards to print & photocopy their. Without immediate response to problems this system would not be workable - BEAR Solutions have always understood this and respond immediately to the needs of the school.

The system is easy to use by both staff and students. We no longer have to worry about issuing change as users recharge their cards directly. Also, all transactions can be easily tracked if there have been any issues regarding printing, photocopying or recharging of cards. This has ensured that library staff time is used more efficiently"

The Christmas break is typically of very busy time for BEAR Solutions and this year has proved no different.

The Installation and Project Management Team have been stretched the length of the country with new systems being implemented in La Trobe University (Victoria), Charles Darwin University (Northern Territory), and James Cook University (Northern Queensland). Each site has been unique in it's own right, with card platforms ranging between magnetic stripe and Mifare cards, systems implemented for use by staff and/or students, and databases populated by various University sources.

The cms/ip system has been up to the challenge thanks to it's inherent flexibility.

Fuji's three-in-one office machine
By Karen Arukesamy
Government departments and businesses that have to plough through heaps of paperwork may lighten their load with Fuji Xerox's ApeosPort series, a new multi-functional device which has print, copy and fax functions.

The latest device was launched in Kuala Lumpur recently through its Apeos Business Alliance Programme, bringing together innovative software providers, system integrators, distributors and resellers to create customised solutions that expand the capabilities of ApeosPort.

This integration comprises Faxcore for Apeos with Faxcore (Asia) Sdn Bhd; Liquid Office for Apeos with Cardiff; Topcall for Apeos with Topcall-A DICOM Company; MyKad Integration with ApeosPort, with BEAR Solutions (Australasia) Pty Ltd and IRIS Corporation Bhd.

The MyKad Integration with ApeosPort enables users to import personal details - name, date of birth, place of birth and address from a MyKad - and automatically insert them on documents like application forms. Users can opt to print on demand their application forms from ApeosPort itself.

The device is expected to help business operators speed up paperwork and any remedial procedures, and is deemed suitable for banking and insurance, and telecommunications companies, as well as government bodies, which have to deal with increasing numbers of application forms.

"With the promising progress of Apeos business, we are optimistic of obtaining 75% growth in our next financial year starting April 2007, of which the partner solution will contribute approximately 30%-35%," said Fuji Xerox marketing and new business development general manager Yeoh Swee Im.
