The market for office printing is a mature one, but it is by no means static. Today, paper and digital workflows are continuing to converge – a dynamic that is reshaping the demands on both devices and services. As a leading market player, Konica Minolta has not stood still. In the face of continuous change, it has continued to expand its portfolio of products and services, developing significant offerings in fields such as IT services. Office printing still remains at the heart of the company’s business, and it is driven by the aim to not only maintain its market leadership position but to actively expand it.
80 years ago, an entirely new product was invented that would revolutionise the way businesses handled documents. The photocopier transformed the way work was done in the paper age – making processes faster and less labour-intensive. Yet eight decades on, the successor to the photocopier, the MFP, is still indispensable and has evolved into a true multifunctional device able to meet the challenges of the digital age. Konica Minolta has a bold vision of the future evolution of the smart MFP as the cornerstone of the digital office – becoming an ever-more intelligent hub for capturing, processing and distributing information. For this vision and the demonstration of strength in both its strategy as well as technological capabilities Konica Minolta was recognised as a leading smart MFP provider by IDC in its “Western Europe Smart Multifunction Peripheral 2018 Vendor Assessment (doc #EMEA44808019, February 2019)”.
