context_page_description: MyQ is a multinational software company that was founded in 2007 as part of a printer hardware distributor company called JANUS. It was established as a separate business in 2010. It currently operates in more than 90 countries and runs in over a million devices. The company is headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic, with offices in Austria, France, Germany, Russia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States.
  Its products are printing and document management solutions. The features found amongst its products are all focused on increasing efficiency and security of an MFD fleet. Some examples of these features that are available include pull printing, mobile printing, alert management, and a personalized user interface.
context_section_description: MyQ was co-founded by Martin Januš (CEO), Radek Tetik (core server programmer), Jakub Ahmadyar (hardware designer), Petr Hacmac (product manager), and Jiri Hubeny (managing director) who is currently a former member.
  In 2007, it developed within a family distributing company of printers and copiers "JANUS". They wanted to explore the potential of including a printing solution as part of the distribution service.
  In 2009, MyQ launched a free version of their product (MyQ Free), which helped them collaborate successfully with medium to large sized companies such as Metrostav (which is the largest construction company in the Czech Republic). In the same year, MyQ opened its first branch in Austria in 2009, and after two years opened its second in Dubai.
  MyQ became a separate entity in 2010. The ownership of the company was partitioned in 2014 and subsequently its HQ was moved to its current location in Českomoravská, Prague.
  In 2014, MyQ launched version 5.1 Popcorn.
  In 2019, MyQ launched new editions of its product: a freemium edition "SMART", Education/Government, Ultimate powered by ScannerVision, and Enterprise.
