Langenhagen, October 2007

 

Konica Minolta Business Solutions has set up partnerships with several application providers. This enables the company to standardise the respective applications so that they can be offered in all countries and supported by the multifunctional products (MFP). This means that customers with operations in various European countries receive the best possible service with standardised applications and the right support. The partner companies are eCopy, Objective Lune, Captaris, Y-Soft and Pcounter. If individual customising is required, Konica Minolta's OpenAPI provides the necessary framework.

 

 

The partner applications:

eCopy

The eCopy ScanStation application is used in the areas of document management and document distribution. It establishes a connection between the MFPs and the company's email application. Other applications that are used within the company to distribute and manage paper-based information are linked directly to the Konica Minolta machines via eCopy. The processing time and effort is reduced significantly and email traffic is secure thanks to a document encryption feature integrated in eCopy.

Objective Lune

The PrintShop Mail application by Objective Lune offers users a solution for simplified personalised printing with Konica Minolta's postscript-compatible MFPs. PrintShop Mail makes it very easy to import design elements, such as photos or signatures. Database information can also be integrated quickly and simply. Whatever the format of the imported file, practically anything can be processed.

Captaris

With Captaris RightFax, Konica Minolta's bizhubs give users access to all networkbased fax services and on the same machines that handle the daily printing, scanning and copying tasks. This optimises the document flow for both electronic and paper-based faxing. The administration is kept to a minimum and the RightFax MFP module even offers the company improved control over the document flow and security.

Y-Soft

Y-Soft's SafeQ allows optimum use of network printer resources with a server that controls printing across the network and distributes printouts appropriately. This applies for both MS Windows and Linux platforms. The system determines whether and where each document is to be printed and the print job is distributed to a user, a group or a project. Because this solution can offer a complete overview of the printed documents, both on the local and network devices, it can also be used to optimise the print infrastructure. A Fax Server module and a Scan Management module are also available as optional extras.

Pcounter

With Pcounter, Konica Minolta relies on a flexible and extremely scalable networkserver-based solution for print and copy management. It incorporates a wide range of cost control and cost recovery capabilities. This function offers tremendous cost benefits because it virtually eliminates wastage and misuse.

 

Aside from these partnerships for standardised solutions, there is also the option of individual customisation. The OpenAPI open interface makes it possible to connect or integrate external software solutions and multifunctional devices.
