Advanced Models Feature New Firmware, No-charge ScanTrip Cloud subscription for True Scan-to-cloud Solutions
Ramsey, NJ, (August 1, 2023)- Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) has introduced its latest line of cloud-enabled multi-function printers (MFPs), the bizhub series. These models come with exclusive promotions for acquiring the Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud license, providing an easy and effective solution for digitizing documents. This advancement can empower small- to medium-sized businesses in enhancing their journey towards digital transformation.
The recently launched Konica Minolta MFPs, equipped with Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud, present comprehensive answers for customers utilizing a diverse range of cloud connectors. These encompass popular platforms like Box, DropBox Business, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Google Drive, Email, and others. ScanTrip Cloud delivers a seamless, purely cloud-based scanning resolution, offering user-friendly yet potent tailored scan processes. It seamlessly integrates with the majority of contemporary cloud services clients employ, facilitating enhanced speed and efficiency in their work processes.
“The combination of Konica Minolta’s MFPs with upgraded cloud, security and enhanced functionality and the Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud solution provides customers with a unique set of competitive features and functions that meet today’s market and business demands,” said Dino Pagliarello, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Management and Planning, Konica Minolta. “Our advanced MFPs provide one of the industry’s strongest cloud offerings for scan and print management when paired with Dispatcher Paragon Cloud or any other Konica Minolta cloud-based print management solutions such as an Identity Provider (IdP) user Login for Azure AD and IdP Login for Google, which are all available on the Konica Minolta Marketplace. Plus, these cloud-enabled MFPs are versatile and highly intuitive to use.”
Konica Minolta’s cloud-enabled MFPs also feature Upland InterFAX, a cloud-based fax solution that eliminates the need for fax servers, fax boards, and standalone device expenses. Moreover, customers can bid farewell to costly and vulnerable analog phone lines. This digital solution offers data security and encryption, instilling confidence, while a flat-rate pricing structure for inbound and/or outbound faxing simplifies integration with the cloud-enabled MFP.
Although primarily designed for smaller and medium-sized businesses across various industries, these new MFPs are scalable for more advanced solutions, enabling users to:
- Harness a genuine cloud solution with direct Scan-to-Cloud capabilities
- Utilize multiple connectors for seamless integration with all the cloud services pertinent to their business
- Rename files, establish personalized workflows, intelligently route files, and more
- Access standard document processing features, including integrated dynamic meta-data forms and OCR processing
- Effortlessly digitize documents for streamlined processes
- Effortlessly self-install ScanTrip Cloud, a zero-footprint solution that requires no on-premises infrastructure beyond the MFP device
- Incorporate adaptable licensing and integration options within a leasing agreement.
For enhanced device capabilities, enhance the new bizhub MFPs by combining them with additional cloud-based solutions, like Konica Minolta’s Dispatcher Paragon Cloud. Through secure document management, customers can leverage cloud potential to eliminate IT expenses, lower print and fax costs, and enhance document security.
“Cloud Services, flexibility and seamless connectivity are must-haves for today’s smaller businesses,” continued Pagliarello. “The businesses that embrace digital transformation benefit in many ways, with increased satisfaction for their customers’ experiences, improved business decision making, enhanced process efficiencies and more ability to be agile and innovate as needs change.”
The ScanTrip Cloud bundle offer is available with all Konica Minolta bizhub MFPs sold through both its direct and dealer channels, with special offers for each that can be extended for longer than the offer term.
