A rising star in managed IT services: SolarWinds MSP awards Konica Minolta for fastest growth in the Nordics in 2018

| 15 July 2019

Be it in managing and monitoring infrastructure and applications, in providing an external user help desk with live support or in ensuring data security – Konica Minolta has established itself as a strong managed services partner for its European customers. SolarWinds MSP, the renowned provider for scalable IT service management solutions, is collaborating with Konica Minolta and has named the company the winner of its award “2018 Top Growth Year over Year – MSP” for the Nordics region. Konica Minolta was able to receive this award at the SolarWinds’ Empower MSP event in Amsterdam.


Konica Minolta not only sees itself as a service provider but as a long-term partner with a holistic customer approach. Therefore, regardless of the specific managed service implemented, it is designed and established after a detailed assessment of the customer’s vision for its IT, its specific needs as well as set-up with regard to both its infrastructure and available resources.

Managed IT services are a key business field for Konica Minolta, whose IT operations are currently undergoing significant expansion. Konica Minolta was able to expand its European IT business by 14 per cent in the past financial year to EUR 257 million. The relevance of Konica Minolta as an international IT supplier is reflected that Konica Minolta has been named as one of the global top 100 IT vendors – according to Gartner’s recently published “Market Insight: Gartner Global Top 100 IT Vendors in 2018.”[1]
