Additionally, the new company will be strategically focused to deliver a number of solutions in the area of enterprise resource planning as well as leverage cloud computing technologies.

Canon Information and Imaging Solutions will leverage Canon’s existing channels of distribution. For select technologies and services, the new company will also drive its own direct-selling efforts and will actively pursue new partnerships with system integrators.

Through organic and other growth initiatives, Canon is targeting the company to exceed $500 million in sales by 2014.
