Konica Minolta Business Solutions has received the “Buyers Lab PaceSetter award for Smart Workplace Vision” from Keypoint Intelligence, a leading analyst for the digital imaging industry. With technology transforming the way we work, the very nature of the office itself is changing. Consequentially, businesses are demanding solutions that help create a working environment that meets these demands. The analysts at Keypoint Intelligence-Buyers Lab honoured Konica Minolta with the prestigious Smart Workplace Vision award following an in-depth study that explored these developments. Konica Minolta was awarded the prestigious accolade as the only vendor in its industry thanks to its forward-looking vision of the future of work, investment in innovative technology and a clear roadmap that is bringing its customers into this new world.
Keypoint Intelligence’s first-of-its-kind study looked at leading office equipment vendors’ approaches to the smart workplace, evaluating each company’s vision for the future workplace, its current and planned products and services to move customers towards that vision, current and future channel and go-to-market strategies, ability to execute the vision, and more. Konica Minolta was praised for its clear vision, a product portfolio that extended beyond the core document imaging space, and its ability to deliver on its vision.
Keypoint Intelligence-Buyers Lab noted Konica Minolta’s advanced capabilities in areas including IT Services, Cloud Services, Security, Business Process Automation (BPA) and AI, Mobility, and Unified Communications & Collaboration – all vital foundations for the smart workplace of the future. Konica Minolta also impressed through its partnerships with other industry leading technology companies and with cutting-edge product offerings such as the Workplace Hub. In EMEA, the capability to deliver effective solutions was reinforced by the company’s Business Innovation Center Europe and a dedicated development team working with IT, facilities managers and human resources to craft and test smart office solutions.
