Ramsey, NJ (Sept. 7, 2021) — Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Inc. (Konica Minolta), along with its IT Services Division All Covered, is pleased to announce a new technology partnership formed by FORZA, the company’s ERP solution, and Oberon Americas’ print fleet management solution, MPS Monitor.
FORZA builds and integrates into the already robust SAP Business One platform to provide support for service, sales and contract management, allowing for more proactive management of customer interaction for maximum business gain and efficiencies. In order to provide its ERP customers with the reliable printer data they need, FORZA now integrates MPS Monitor’s meter monitoring services into its solutions to offer tracking, reporting and billing support. MPS Monitor provides a cloud solution for remote printer monitoring and print fleet management, fully compliant with ISO/IEC 27001, SOC2 and GDPR, for monitoring and managing printing devices in managed print services or pay-per-page mode.
With remote and hybrid work models likely here to stay, now more than ever, companies are looking for one tool to proactively monitor their printer and copier fleets efficiently. Software options have come a long way in their ability to provide meter tracking, monitor consumables and enable billing. The adoption of such programs by businesses of all sizes can serve to support digital transformation and help drive revenue.
“As we work to streamline our customers’ business processes, we need the ability to customize solutions to each company’s data capture requirements, and partnerships like this make that possible,” said Drew Cataldo, vice president, business development, All Covered. “This technology ensures seamless, automated management of entire fleets of printers and copiers, ultimately driving more revenue through better control over billing.”
An all-inclusive ERP offering, FORZA streamlines all business processes onto one platform, providing companies with a comprehensive ERP system to manage current infrastructure and business processes while enabling growth from increasing sales to delivering products for its customers.
“Oberon Americas brings together in one award-winning platform the power of IoT, artificial intelligence, MFD embedded development and cloud computing powered by MPS Monitor, focusing on the Internet of Printers (IoP). Helping our customers take control of all their print services revenue and remote remediation cost is our core mission,” said Denis Dreni, CEO of Oberon Americas. “Oberon Americas Next Generation Platform is the only secure cloud multi-brand platform for both network and USB connected print devices.
