Konica Minolta Business Solutions has been named “2018 Document Imaging Software Line of the Year” by Keypoint Intelligence – the world’s foremost authority on imaging software, hardware and services. The prestigious accolade was awarded following an in-depth study of the portfolios of the leading document imaging OEMs by analysts at Keypoint Intelligence’s Buyers Lab. The award recognises Konica Minolta’s exceptional portfolio of in-house software solutions and its highly successful eco-system of third-party offerings. In the Buyers Lab evaluation, Konica Minolta scored best among leading OEMs in the key categories of Capture and Workflow, Document Management and Device Management, with a breadth and performance of solutions that was described as “unmatched”.


Given once a year, the Buyers Lab Line of the Year award recognises the document imaging OEM that offers the strongest solutions portfolio across a range of software categories that includes Capture and Workflow, Document Management, Output Management, and Device Management. In the award citation, Buyers Lab analysts highlighted several of Konica Minolta’s class-leading software offerings including the Dispatcher Phoenix capture/workflow platform, an advanced document capture/processing/routing solution that enables the creation of timesaving workflows which can be tailored to customer’s needs.

Analysts also noted the “strong selection of output management solutions from class-leading ISV partners”, the “wide assortment of apps and customisable MFP user interfaces available via the bizhub MarketPlace online portal” and “vertical market expertise and solutions tailored to key industries”.
