Konica Minolta’s Workplace Pure named winner of a BLI Pick Award from Keypoint Intelligence for Outstanding Document Processing Services

| 20 December 2022

Konica Minolta’s Workplace Pure solution has won a Buyers Lab (BLI) 2023 Pick Award for Outstanding Document Processing Services from Keypoint Intelligence, the leading market research firm and independent evaluator of print and smart workplace technology and services. The award recognises Workplace Pure for its 'Anytime, anywhere document processing', the 'Easy, intuitive user experience', and adds that the 'Administration is simple and straightforward'.


The Workplace Pure platform (formally known as bizhub Evolution) provides cost-effective 24/7 access to a marketplace of constantly evolving services including centralised upload to cloud repositories, cloud print, secure guest print, smart document conversion and translation - all automated and streamlined from a single trusted source.
Lee Davis, Senior Analyst in Keypoint Intelligence’s Office Group stated, “Konica Minolta Workplace Pure is a cloud document processing solution that helps businesses manage the intersection of paper documents and digital processes. The solution comes with several productivity-boosting features that users can access on demand, such as the ability to scan to cloud, convert documents into searchable, editable file types, instantly translate documents, print via the cloud print service, and much more.”
 
In recognising Konica Minolta Workplace Pure with its BLI Pick Award, Keypoint Intelligence also observes how it is particularly useful for businesses that operate in distributed working environments, but its benefits can be enjoyed by all. A cloud-hosted subscription service, workers can access the solution anytime, anywhere using the devices they prefer the most. The market research firm also acknowledges how the solution’s architecture and pricing model eliminates the time and money that IT has to spend deploying and maintaining additional physical IT infrastructure just to support the solution, as well as converts large upfront software costs into low, predictable monthly payments. Keypoint Intelligence concludes that best of all, businesses only pay for the features they need, but they can always add more functionality as their needs change.
