2. The Evolution of Konica Minolta
Konica Minolta’s business technologies division has seen a rapid transformation over
the past two decades. Prior to the introduction of digital machines, Konica Minolta
copiers reliably reproduced hard copy documents. We actively supported fleets in
many of the largest enterprises.
In 1990 with the advent of the digital copier we were able to integrate hard copy
documents into electronic workflows. This opened up a whole new world for our
customers. For Konica Minolta, this meant change. We were now required to
understand our customers electronic workflows and how our devices can help
enterprises improve their processes thereby reducing costs.
Over time, we have evolved even further. Today we can help our clients with a whole
host of services and solutions focused on improving the management of information
whether hard copy or electronic. Together with our wholly owned IT Services
company, All Covered and our Optimized Print Services capabilities, we can help your
organization manage all of your technology resources. From the desktop to the print
shop. Today Konica Minolta Business Solutions is a true integrator and solutions
provider.

improving the way work gets done and at the same
time, reducing your overall costs.
Implement: Once we have agreed on a course of
action, Konica Minolta will coordinate the

begin with a statement of work which details the
scope of the project, resources required and
