New centers offer customers convenient access to authorized repair and maintenance services through well-established local retailers All repairs utilize exclusively genuine Canon parts, maintaining the integrity and performance of customers’ devices

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Canon Middle East and Türkiye has announced a strategic expansion of its after-sales service network in Saudi Arabia through official partnerships with Jarir Marketing Company and Al Hasoob Company. Under this new collaboration, both companies have been appointed authorized service centers for Canon’s Consumer Printing Products (Home and Office), providing Saudi customers with expert, localized support through trusted, well-established retail and technology providers.

This partnership delivers nationwide accessibility through Jarir’s 61 retail locations—which now serve as collection points and service centers—and Al Hasoob Company’s three fully operational, dedicated service centers in key cities. The benefit to Canon customers is twofold: Enhanced convenience and peace of mind, as they gain direct access to Canon-trained technicians using genuine parts without the delays or complications of third-party servicing. The solution also reinforces Canon’s commitment to customer satisfaction by offering a reliable, efficient, and manufacturer-approved pathway to maintain their printing products’ performance.

Binoj Nair, B2C Business Unit Director, Canon Middle East and Türkiye, said, “At Canon, we understand that our commitment to customers extends well beyond the point of purchase. This partnership with Jarir Marketing Company and Al Hasoob Company reflects our dedication to providing exceptional after-sales support. By establishing these authorized service points with trusted retail partners, we ensure our customers have convenient access to expert care for their Canon products wherever they are in the Kingdom. All the information regarding these services, including service center locations and contact details, is available on our official website.”

The service centers are now fully operational at participating Jarir and Al Hasoob Company locations. Both partners have undergone comprehensive Canon Technical Product Training processes, with technicians receiving specialized training to diagnose and repair the full range of Canon office printing products. All repairs utilize exclusively genuine Canon parts, maintaining the integrity and performance of customers’ devices.

Safi Al Safi, Chief Operating Officer, Jarir Marketing, said, “This partnership with Canon strengthens our commitment to providing comprehensive solutions to our customers. Being appointed as an authorized service center allows us to extend our relationship with Canon customers beyond the initial purchase, offering them the peace of mind that comes with expert, manufacturer-approved service using genuine parts. Our 61 locations across Saudi Arabia are not only a point of sale but also a complete after-sales solution. We’re proud to enhance the Canon experience for our shared customers across the Kingdom.”

Sherif Abdelfattah, Chief Executive Officer Al Hasoob, added, “Becoming an authorized Canon service center aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver excellence in technology solutions. Our customers trust us with their technology needs, and now they can rely on us for professional Canon repairs performed by specially trained technicians. With three Canon Service centers in key metropolitan cities, this collaboration enables us to provide a seamless experience from purchase through the entire product lifecycle, reinforcing our position as a complete technology partner.”

This development addresses the growing demand among Saudi consumers for local, authorized service options. Canon customers can now simply visit their nearest Jarir or Al Hasoob Company location with their product for professional diagnosis and repair, eliminating the inconvenience often associated with printer maintenance.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
