Whether you're in law enforcement, finance, or general administration, Toshiba's Elevate Sky® cloud-based solutions offer robust tools specifically designed to streamline processes, enhance document security, and optimize your print and workflow management. Cloud Integration Tailored for Government Efficiency Today’s hybrid work landscape demands secure access to critical information anytime and anywhere. Toshiba’s Elevate Sky® cloud solutions directly address this by transforming traditional document handling into seamless digital workflows. By integrating Toshiba’s multifunction printers (MFPs) with popular cloud storage services like Microsoft® Office 365®, Google Workspace™, Dropbox™, and Box™, government workers gain unprecedented flexibility and collaboration capabilities.

Automated Document Workflows: Elevate customizes workflows on the MFP interface to match your department’s exact needs.
