Supporting SMBs with the right technology based solutions is important to their recovery and growth and also represents a huge business opportunity for AV and IT Solutions providers. Those resellers who can help address the current issues facing SMBs will have a definite advantage.
Northamber’s AV, Document Management and IT Solutions divisions are focussing on providing tailored levels of support to SMB companies to take into account new finance challenges, hybrid and remote working challenges as well as new security needs and changes in IT infrastructure, all brought on by the pandemic.
First of all, financial challenges are preventing many companies from implementing technology solutions, or at least delaying them. But Hardware as a Service (HaaS) allows companies to shift from Capex based funding to an Opex model with very high levels of flexibility, surprisingly affordable payments and the ability to include products, software and services from multiple suppliers. Details are provided later in this guide, or bookmark northamber.com/haas or talk to the experts in the Northamber Solutions team for a quote.
With employees working remotely, the need for security solutions have increased since the pandemic
first hit. From device security and tracking, to secure connections and back office security requirements, companies have needed to review and upgrade systems from end to end to protect company communications and assets. With malware and ransomware attacks regularly in the news, the need for security audits, products and solutions are everywhere. Our security expertise, services and products are highlighted later in this guide. Talk to your Northamber security specialists to see how you can protect your customers’ businesses.
Welcome to the Northamber SMB Buyer’s GuideThere are millions of SMB companies in the UK who have had to deal with the most challenging year in living memory. Technology has allowed businesses to adapt quickly with remote and now hybrid working becoming increasingly commonplace.

The world of work is transforming. The pandemic looks to have changed attitudes forever.Audio Visual technologies are transforming the workplace so that they become easy to use, deploy and manage. As a result, new solutions for meetings have begun to evolve, thanks to the use of new technology and office design. Meetings are much more collaborative and no longer happen in one place. Employers now need to look to ensure the remote working experience is optimised with the right technology to achieve similarities to the workplace. Furthermore, the change in the remote working environment has driven the need for smaller meeting spaces that allow remote employees and local employees to come together and collaborate more efficiently.
Our range of solutions and services combine the physical and virtual meeting space to make meetings as simple and as seamless as possible. Our video conferencing solutions accommodate every size of workspace. Connectivity is the backbone for any business trying to build the workplace of the future. Interactive Displays help to unify in-room and remote collaboration experiences, ideal for every workspace and budget. The intuitive solutions are designed to be used in all environments from the huddle room to the conference area.
Northamber AV increased support for resellers during lockdown and continue to add real value to AV and IT resellers alike in the design, specification and even implementation of sometimes complex, multivendor solutions into SMB customers. Read on or call the Northamber AV team for more information.

Avocor delivers state-of-the-art technology
Arena Business Centres deliver high-quality offices in modern working spaces that meet the needs of a constantly changing business landscape. They aim to help their clients stay agile, keep flexible and control their costs while providing exceptional environments that are beautifully designed, offering world-class facilities that make people want to visit the office.
Over the last 12 months, Arena has witnessed an increase in demand for flexible workspaces as companies re-evaluate their office requirements and invest in hybrid working environments, as Helen Deverill Marketing Director at Arena Business Centre explains;
“Our customers’ needs have changed over the last year or so; they are looking for enhanced
meeting spaces where they can connect multiple locations and offices quickly. We started to explore how we could create fluid meeting spaces where our clients could bring their teams together safely and deliver a space where they could collaborate and share ideas.”
Arena had first-hand experience of the benefits of using an Avocor interactive display during the summer of 2020 when they used an 86” Avocor display to deliver keynote speaker presentations as part of a workshop initiative. The events team at Arena wanted technology that could engage their audience and meet the specific needs of each presentation and provide a seamless experience that was stress-free for the organisers and presenters.
“We deliver vibrant spaces, and we need to reflect that vibrancy throughout each centre which is why we chose Avocor; they offer the very best in innovative meeting room technology, and we have absolute confidence in the technology and the brand”
Helen Deverill Marketing Director at Arena Business Centre
In the Spring of 2021, Arena opened their new £20M centre in Reading, Berkshire and was keen to invest in technology in their central meeting room that reflected the overall outlay in the new space.
Avocor ALZ SeriesThe ALZ series represents 7 simple, easy to use solutions designed to enable Zoom Rooms for Touch. Created in partnership with Logitech, the ALZ combines an Avocor interactive display with the popular Logitech MeetUp camera and a Zoom-ready OPS PC for an out-of-the-box solution that delivers a world-class interactive experience with Zoom Rooms.
Available 65", 75" & 84"
Available 65", 75" & 85"
Available 55" & 65" (Teams Certified)
Avocor F SeriesThe F series comprises a beautiful, sleek, lightweight design and offers seamless integration and compatibility with third-party Unified Communications.
Avocor G SeriesEdge-to-edge bezel-less interactive displays engineered to impress when they’re on and even when they’re turned off. Single cable connects 4K video, audio, USB touch, Ethernet and power.
Avocor W SeriesThese interactive displays have the integrated features and performance to help keep people connected making them ideal for focus and small meeting rooms.
“Our team have road-tested the technology and love the simplicity of the solution. It creates confidence in any technology we deploy within our centres, trusting that it will work and that it is easy to adopt, the Avocor interactive display does just that.” The Avocor solution is now a central part of Arena’s meeting room strategy, providing a digital environment for people to meet across multiple video platforms, including Teams, Zoom and Google Meet.

An easy-to-install, unobtrusive solution, the HuddleCamHD Pro can clamp to a monitor, attach to a tripod, or be wall-mounted. The HuddleCamHD Pro has a large UHD CMOS sensor, capturing 4K video with
a 108-degree field of view. That capture can be scaled down to a variety of standard resolutions, including 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1024x576, 9060x540, 640x480, and 649x360. The electronic PTZ functionality also allows up to 8X digital zoom.
The HuddleCamHD Pro IP offers the same features as the Pro model, with the added convenience and capability of power over Ethernet and NDI® connectivity. The HuddleCamHD Pro IP enables network access to the camera for video conferencing, live streaming and remote management for distributed
teams. The HuddleCamHD Pro IP takes advantage of emerging technology to offer more freedom and versatility than any other webcam. This is the world’s first NDI®-enabled webcam. Incorporating Vizrt Group’s NDI® video over IP technology turns what’s normally a personal device into a network-available resource. This camera can be accessed and controlled from anywhere on a local area network, allowing businesses to centralize live-streaming operations, or collect feeds from multiple sites for a live-streamed event.

Live Streaming Studios Businesses of all sizes have embraced live streaming
Live streaming is no longer a business experiment but an effective marketing strategy. Producing a live video stream can help businesses of any size build brand awareness and increase profitability. Through video production and live streaming technologies, small businesses, manufacturing facilities, non-profits and other organizations can tell their stories to the world, utilizing content delivery networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
In April 2020, PTZOptics unveiled the EPTZ Zcam, a box-style camera with a 4K video sensor
built-in that can capture zoomed-in views while maintaining 1080p and 720p quality levels. The PTZOptics EPTZ NDI® ZCam can be powered, distributed, and controlled over a building’s existing local area network, drastically reducing installation time. The EPTZ is easy to mount, with four standard female threads. The true innovation of the EPTZ, though, is the “E” in “EPTZ.” EPTZ simulates Pan, Tilt and Zoom operations inside of a large resolution pixel space. Using a 104-degree horizontal field of view and a 4K image space, a single PTZOptics EPTZ Camera
can produce two separate 1080p outputs, allowing a production to effectively cut between wide and tight camera views from the same camera. It literally halves the work of retrofitting a space for live streaming/broadcasting.
The EPTZ Camera works with what clients currently have – not just in terms of infrastructure, but in terms of control. Like all PTZOptics cameras, the EPTZ can be controlled by a variety of third-party hardware, software, or controllers, or by using the free PTZOptics mobile app for Android, Kindle, or iOS. This robust interoperability makes it easy to integrate the EPTZ Camera into an existing system.

The Benefits
If work happens outside the office, data security should follow.3M™ Privacy filters - the must-have for mobile working
Thanks to mobile working, many office workers can now work anywhere – in the office, at home in the kitchen or even in a favourite pub or café. Many also use an increased number of devices for their work, each with sensitive data accessible anytime and anywhere. This has made mobile working easier but it has also increased the threat of visual hacking.
When unprotected, anyone can secretly read your screen and spy out sensitive information. Keep this data confidential with 3M™ privacy filters for laptops and
monitors. They combine flexibility with the peace of mind that information and privacy is always protected. Anytime. Anywhere.
Just a few years ago, privacy filters were considered an additional IT accessory. Today they’ve become an indispensable tool in today's flexible working world. Side views are "blacked out" from prying eyes

During the pandemic, the Document Management requirements in SMB customers changed dramatically.

Unlocking the power of digital transformationAs businesses grow and become busier the need to improve processes becomes more important. By digitising and automating processes, SMB’s reduce storage needs – saving office space and reducing costs, speeding up processes and freeing staff to undertake high value tasks or reducing staff costs.
Invoice handling solutionSituation and problem faced Local electronics manufacturer receive around one hundred invoices in the post every week. Each invoice is scanned using the office MFD, and key information is manually entered into financial system. If information was mis-keyed or invoice missed this resulted in delay in payments and lost information. One invoice often took up to 30 mins of labour.
ObjectivesTo find a document imaging solution that would upgrade invoice handling and other office tasks, save time and storage space, and eliminate paper-based issues.
SolutionPurchasing a Kodak S2050 Scanner and Kodak Capture Pro Software.
ResultsThe new scanning process means invoices are scanned immediately as accounts team have a dedicated device, software extracts vital information i.e. invoice number, and adds to relevant systems to ensure invoices are processed saving time, labour, reducing costs and improving efficiencies.
S2050
Replacing outdated technology makes compliance easier Situation and problem facedOutdated scanners & processes to capture passports and other documents, need to update technology and workflow to comply with new legislation.
ObjectivesSpeed up scanning of passports to streamline the capture workflow to meet new guidelines and update digital licensing process to handle today’s demands.
SolutionKodak Alaris S2050 Scanners & Passport flatbed accessories.
ResultsThe driver’s licensing process is faster and easier for employees. The department is now able to meet increasing demands in a timely fashion and issue licenses that meet mandates. Employees value the small scanner footprint, speed, and inbuilt image-enhancement features of the Kodak S2050 Scanners.
Kofax Express™ – reducing costs and reliance on paperEasy for beginners and flexible for experts, Kofax Express automates the process of indexing and tagging documents, reducing the time and complexity to archive information.
Point and Click Rescan - Simplify the process of correction when a page is scanned with a folded corner, a forgotten sticky note is still affixed, or a double-feed escapes detection.
Flexible Document Separation - Separate groups of documents automatically, eliminating the need to scan documents one at a time; fill the auto document feeder (ADF) to its capacity and Kofax Express will divide the batch into individual document groups automatically based on patch codes, bar codes or inserted blank pages.
Post-Scan Processing with Kofax VRS Corrections - Eliminate loss of productivity; if Kofax Express encounters a poor quality document it can't convert into a legible image, the Kofax VRS Corrections feature reserves the image for later inspection and correction by the scanner operator without needing to rescan the document.
Save more by using paper(less)
Every company has documents, records, and files stored in what seems like every corner of the office. The Dokmee product line can help you organise, secure, and manage those documents easily and paper free. From PDF, TIFF, Word, Excel, AutoCAD drawings, Emails, and more.

Microsoft licenses from Lenovo are specifically pre-tested and optimized to install on Lenovo servers. Lenovo offers support for all of its Microsoft offerings, giving customers a single point of support for their entire data centre.
Many customers have found that the sudden lockdown situation has caused them to spend all their CAPEX budgets in kitting out the workforce for remote working and collaboration. This has caused many projects to be delayed or even cancelled. To help address this for both resellers and end users, Northamber, working with Tech Subscription Services, has introduced HaaS to provide a new approach to acquiring equipment and services, that uses quarterly OPEX payments and has levels of flexibility that go beyond what traditional leasing would have provided.

Maximise your customer's IT budgets — upgrade!
Improve server performance and make savings for your customers by upgrading with Micron. You just need to ask these questions:
Servers whether new or refurbished, outfitted with “original equipment manufactured” (OEM) storage and memory are among the most expensive technology purchases a company can make. But what if your customers could spend up to 2.5x less by adding components made by the experts at Micron instead?
Many servers underutilise their processor, is your customer's server having CPU capacity problems? Upgrading RAM and SSDs is a great way to get more performance from new and existing infrastructure.
Help your customers save up to 63% on DRAM & SSDs
Help your customers save more no matter which brand of OEM servers they buyThe cost difference of populating servers with Micron DRAM instead of getting it preinstalled applies across all major server manufacturers. Here’s why: Server manufacturers source server components like memory and storage from other companies. When you buy server components direct from the memory and storage manufacturer, you get proven reliability and savings. There’s a smarter alternative: Fully populate your new servers with Micron server memory and Micron SSDs and drive down your budget.
Try our online Configurator tool or for further help call our
specialists on 020 8296 7015.
1. So, if you don’t need a new CPU, do you actually need a new motherboard?
2. And if you aren’t overhauling your entire network, do you really need a new network card just for the sake of it?
3. Is your system crashing or overheating? If not, do you truly need a new power supply?
4. Lastly, do you really need a brand-new chassis just to make the server room look pretty?
If you responded “no” to the above, then why are you buying a complete new server?
Whatever your Server brand, Micron has the solution. Talk to the Northamber experts to find out more.
The practical solutionUpgrade your DRAM and migrate your spinning HDDs to faster, higher performing SSDs. Those upgrades will improve your performance and capacity problems, cost a fraction of replacing the rest of your server hardware, and provide quicker data migration, minimal environmental impact, and less disruption to your business during installation.
The cost difference between a new, fully-configured OEM server and a base model that’s upgraded
To see the impact of adding hardware to an OEM server, compare the cost of purchasing a fully-configured popular server against a minimally-configured server that was upgraded with after-market memory and SSD upgrades.
What does it look like when your customer saves 63%?
If your customer can save more than £8k on one server,
imagine how much they could save across an entire deployment?

Enhanced User Experience
The ability to ensure that a distributed workforce or user base has high performance access to centralised applications is something that all modern enterprises have in common.
No matter how great the application is, the user experience - whether customers or employees - is instantly jeopardised if performance degrades. There are many potential points of failure along the application delivery chain, and ownership is decentralised across different departments and providers. To avoid downtime, applications and the network need to be brought under a single point of view.
Kemp Flowmon helps you to understand the correlations between the quality of your customers’ experience, application performance, and the impact on business outcomes. It offers a single dashboard with enhanced telemetry that shows exactly where the bottlenecks are and indicates what needs to be done to correct the issue.

Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS)Cambridge Judge Business School Expands BYOD Support with Parallels RAS
The Customer: Cambridge Judge Business School Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS) is one of the world’s most respected business schools. Set in the heart of the University of Cambridge in England, the prestigious business school is consistently ranked among the top in the world by Bloomberg, the Financial Times, Business Insider, US News & World Report, and Forbes magazine.
The Challenge: Deliver education applications to remote mobile devices CJBS wanted to publish classic Windows desktop applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Word, as well as IBM SPSS software to enable more effective campus-independent teaching methods.
Students and teachers at the business education institution were using PCs, Mac® computers, iPad® and iPhone® devices, and Android tablets and phones as personal devices—and they wished to continue using their personal devices to access virtual learning applications. This meant that the IT team required a virtualisation solution that met the mobility needs of faculty and students.
The Solution: Parallels RAS centralises IT, simplifies access to learning applications Using Parallels RAS with a VPN, the business school was now able to provide secure, easy-to-use application publishing to any of their staff and students’ personal devices.
CJBS now easily accommodates the school’s plentiful amount of Mac users, delivering them instant, reliable access to Windows desktop software from their laptops. Not only that, but Parallels RAS has allowed the CJBS IT team to deploy a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution as well, delivering students and faculty access to easy-to-manage virtual machines hosted on the server.
The Benefits: Reduce IT hours, deploy BYOD support with great mobile experience By using Parallels RAS, CJBS significantly reduced the hours required by IT staff to set up and support students and teachers who needed to access learning material on their devices. The IT team can now streamline the process of loading applications for the 50 students with Mac computers.
Parallels RAS also allowed the school to extend bring-your-own-device (BYOD) support for more devices without needing to touch them or interact in any way with the operating systems. In addition to students, Parallels RAS helped the IT team provide simple, remote access for staff. Importantly, students and faculty were highly impressed by the great mobile experience for phones and tablets.
• Educational Windows applications available on any device.
• A comprehensive application delivery solution with no need for third-party add-ons.
• Protected student and staff data with encryption protocols and advanced filtering.
• Improved student and faculty productivity with on-the-go access to learning resources.
What Parallels will help educational institutions achieve:
“Parallels RAS makes it simple for our IT admins to support any device that students and teachers prefer to use and saves us hours of setup time. The Parallels RAS mobile client for iOS and Android enables our students and teachers to be truly productive on the go or at home.”–Paul Miller Head of IT, Cambridge Judge Business School

Delivery ServicesNorthamber are able to offer overnight, local, national and international delivery options along with secure/high-value & technical deliveries.
Asset tags and serial number tracking This is a popular approach to tracking fixed assets using serial numbered tags. We create barcode labels for easy and accurate reading. The labels are applied to every asset prior to shipment simplifying the tracking process once the units are on site & installed. Asset tag information is then supplied to the owner on a spreadsheet linking each tag to its unique serial number.
This service takes the pain out of the complex and timely process of tracking hardware for the system integrator or product owner following a large roll out.

Hardware as a ServiceRecent events have had a huge impact on business procurement processes. After the initial rush to equip staff for remote working before the first lockdown, many projects have been put on hold due to budget issues, particularly capital expenditure budgets (CAPEX). This has a knock on effect for those supplying businesses with IT products and services.
1) Flexible monthly or quarterly payments.
2) 12/24/36 month terms.
3) Zero asset management.
4) Zero support replacement costs.
5) Open framework agreements.
6. Single agreement only, add further products at any time.
7) Product vendor agnostic.
8) Global deployment.
9) CAPEX discounts included.
10) Residual values built-in at start of agreement.
11) Hardware, software, support, deployment and professional services can be included.
12) Zero impact on partner credit.
13) Increased margins and faster payments.
14) Options to keep some, all or replace.
But there is a Solution… Hardware as a Service (HaaS) allows customers to start procuring again without an impact on their CAPEX budgets. HaaS provides an open framework to purchase any products or services in an open framework agreement. With flexibility around terms and the ability to add products and services along the way, or even purchase some outright at the end, HaaS is an Operating Expense (OPEX) model that fixes their monthly OPEX costs for the duration of the agreement.
And for Resellers who use HaaS for their end user projects, there is no impact on their own credit lines as that is all handled directly with the end user and there is also opportunity for increased margin and faster payments.
Benefits of HaaS
Talk to our Solutions experts and let us show you there's an alternative to CAPEX. Call one of our team on 020 8296 7015 or visit www.northamber.com/haas for more details & to arrange a call back.
Additional benefits of the OPEX model
• No need to try and predict the future! Know that your clients have the options to retain some, all or totally refresh at the end of the agreement term.
• The ‘as a Service’ approach also has other benefits when it comes to flexibility, making it easier to scale up and down as required, adding new devices or hardware.
• This ensures the business only pays for what it needs at the time rather than having additional tech gathering dust.
