Image One, Epson, and EtherFAX Showcase the Future of K–12 Document Management at FETC 2026

At FETC 2026, one message resonated clearly across conversations with K–12 technology leaders: school districts don’t have a technology problem — they have a workflow problem.

Cybersecurity threats are increasing. Compliance requirements are tightening. Staff are stretched thin. Paper continues to slow processes, introduce risk, and consume resources districts simply don’t have.

That’s why Image One Corporation, Epson, and EtherFAX came together at this year’s Future of Education Technology Conference — not just to demonstrate products, but to showcase a complete, real-world solution to the most pressing document challenges facing K–12 school districts in the United States.

The Reality Facing K–12 Districts Today

Across districts of all sizes, leaders consistently pointed to the same challenges:

• Protecting student and staff data amid rising cyber threats
• Maintaining FERPA compliance and audit readiness
• Managing growing volumes of sensitive records
• Reducing administrative burden on already overwhelmed staff
• Eliminating paper-based inefficiencies and storage costs
• Modernizing legacy systems without disrupting daily operations
• Securing fax-based communications that still play a critical role
• Streamlining processes across departments and campuses
• Supporting Special Education documentation requirements
• Standardizing workflows district-wide for scale and consistency

A Unified K–12 Document Ecosystem — Live on the Show Floor

Rather than highlighting individual technologies in isolation, the three organizations presented a single, integrated document lifecycle:

Capture → Manage → Deliver — securely and compliantly

Epson enables fast, secure, high-quality document capture at the source. Image One designs and automates intelligent workflows that govern, protect, and organize information. EtherFAX delivers documents securely using encrypted, cloud-based fax — without analog lines or machines.

Epson: Secure, High-Performance Capture Where It Matters Most

Epson’s document scanners anchored the solution by showing how districts can digitize records reliably at the point of entry. With speed, accuracy, and advanced image processing, Epson scanners help districts reduce scan backlogs, minimize rework, and ensure clean, searchable digital records.

Image One Corporation: The Strategy That Turns Technology Into Results

Image One demonstrated how districts can automate document capture, enforce role-based access, align workflows with FERPA and retention requirements, and standardize processes across departments.

EtherFAX: Modern, Secure Faxing Without the Paper Headache

EtherFAX showed how districts can eliminate fax machines, encrypt transmissions end to end, and integrate fax directly into digital workflows.

Why This Partnership Matters for K–12 Education

Together, Image One, Epson, and EtherFAX help districts reduce risk, eliminate paper, improve operational efficiency, lower costs, and support district-wide digital transformation initiatives.

The Takeaway from FETC 2026

The future of K–12 document management is secure, integrated, and available now.
