HP ePrint & Share now on Android

Since attending the Copenhagen launch of HP’s ePrint & Share service in October 2010, I have watched developments with interest, although I have sometimes been under-whelmed by the pace of change (post).

The new conject website went live earlier today. As noted on 22 March, the old BIW Technologies company name and associated branding is being superseded by group-wide use of the conject name to cover its SaaS project control and related collaborative solutions across all geographic markets (with the “plan-build-operate” life-cycle very much to the fore).

HP has expanded the printing options available to users of its ePrint & Share service.

ICON considering QR codes for asset management

My interest in QR (quick response) codes started a couple of years ago following a June 2010 talk at the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (post) and a week later I had my new business cards complete with scan-able QR codes on the back.
