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.
