Office Technology Insights for 2026

Office Technology Insights for 2026

Presented by C.A. Reding Company | Your Local Technology Partner

Welcome to 2026! As Central Valley business continues to grow, so does the demand for smarter, more secure, and highly efficient office environments. This month, we’re looking to help local businesses thrive, leveraging our technology solutions, while staying compliant with California’s latest workplace regulations. Here are 3 ways to thrive this new year.

  1. NEW YEAR, NEW FLEET – Let’s Give you A free Audit

A 2026 Fleet Audit is no longer just about counting machines; it’s about analyzing the efficiency, security, and cost-per-page of your entire document environment. Whether you are managing printers in a school district or high-end plotters at an AEC firm, a January audit sets the financial baseline for your year. The team at C.A. Reding will assess the following.

  • Cybersecurity & Compliance Audit – In 2026, printers are common entry points for network breaches. Our team will provide firmware checks and can add solutions such as Ricoh Smart Integration to provide access control and secure print release.
  • Age Check – C.A. Reding will Identify devices over 5 years old. In 2026, older hardware is often a major cybersecurity vulnerability, not to mention the machines are not productive as they can be. Upgrading to modern machines will keep your business thriving they way it should.
  • Utilization Analysis – Is your firm running 50,000 pages on a machine made for only 10,000 pages? Or is your color printing being utilized way more than you would like? Allow us to take a look and we can create a custom plan geared for your success.

  1. THE PLASTIC BAN UPDATE (SB 1053)

On January 1st 2026, California enforced stricter laws with plastic. With stricter bans on plastic film, there’s never been a better time to switch to C.A. Reding’s bottleless water coolers. Our pure water filtration systems, eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles in the breakroom. They also offer a major cost savings. Let’s make your office more sustainable!

  1. CLOUD BASED PHONES – THE INTELLIGENCE HUB

Cloud based phone solutions have moved to a different level of intelligence for 2026. They treat all calls as data to be analyzed, summarized, and acted upon.  They have gotten smarter with AI where tedious manual tasks are now easily taken over and you can focus on your team and moving business forward.

  • Auto-Summarize: Instantly create a bulleted summary of every call.
  • Sync to CRM: Automatically push those notes into Salesforce or HubSpot.
