The services include:

Translations Services Powered by thebigword. Through a new partnership, Brother offers extensive and secure scan-to-translate functionality, powered by thebigword translation services. The service offers cost-effective translation into more than 90 languages directly through thebigword via many Brother All-in-Ones and select standalone scanners via an easy three-step setup process that allows for quick turnaround times. Users can choose between a highly secure professional, crowd-sourced or machine translation that meets their specific business and budget needs without a subscription.

Secure Print+. Ideal for customers who need to ensure the security of their printed data without a sophisticated server network, Brother Secure Print+ solution allows users to release print jobs without a costly middleware investment. This solution offers the capability to help meet document handling guidelines and reduces waste associated with uncollected print jobs.

Custom User Interface. Value-added resellers and system integrators have the flexibility to request modifications to the standard user interface on select Brother products to meet a variety of customer needs, allowing for a fully customized experience.

Barcode Utility. To streamline workflow, improve accuracy and increase efficiency with data input, the Barcode Utility can read and analyze barcode identification numbers within a document scanned using a Brother device. Each barcode identification number can be assigned to various job profiles to process the scan job and deliver it to the required destination folder.

Brother Special Solutions Team. Through a collaborative process with field service engineers, business analysts and customers, the Brother Special Solutions Team (SST) enables Brother products to be modified to meet the special requests from clients. For each engagement, the SST team works with customers to design, test and deliver an out-of-box solution to satisfy unique business needs.

Access to the full suite of services and solutions is offered exclusively through the Brother Authorized Partner Program (BAPP), as well as direct market resellers, dealers, and office superstore contract resellers.
