    Cloud Print Services: More flexibility for your print infrastructureHeroSlider

Simplify your infrastructure – take advantage of the cloud

As business models continue to evolve, many organizations are moving away from traditional IT infrastructure towards a cloud-first strategy. The benefits of doing so range from improved support for mobile and flexible working to lower operational costs, a more sustainable infrastructure, and a reduced management burden for in-house IT teams.

Even if your cloud migration journey is well underway, you may still be expending resources on managing your own print servers. On the other hand, if you're at an early stage of cloud adoption, migrating your print infrastructure to the cloud can be a great way to start enjoying the convenience and cost-efficiencies that cloud offers. Almost one-third (31%) of businesses say the cost of purchasing and maintaining on-premises print servers is a top print management challenge.

Either way, Konica Minolta can help with reliable, trustworthy cloud services that can help you optimize your print infrastructure, make your organization more agile, and support digital transformation and sustainability initiatives. With services ranging from cloud print through to intelligent document capture and processing, we can help you establish a secure, scalable, highly available cloud-based print and document management infrastructure that frees you from upfront investment and ongoing management.

Cloud services and sustainability

Cloud-based services and solutions can be more sustainable than on-premises infrastructure when factors like power and water consumption, device lifespan, and digital cleanup are considered. In general, the infrastructure in a large, modern cloud data center will run in a more energy-efficient way than an individual company's on-premises servers.

Our cloud services – including Workplace Pure, YSOFT SAFEQ Cloud, and Document Navigator Cloud – are hosted in the Open Telekom Cloud, which operates out of a Telekom data center in Germany that is 100% powered by electricity from renewable sources. The data center has a 1.3 PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) rating, which means it requires 30% less energy than comparable data centers. In addition, its performance has Gold level LEED certification, which indicates its comprehensive adoption of best practices in sustainability.
