Foster City, CA (Dec. 3, 2019) — Continuing to highlight its innovative capabilities, the prominent technology provider Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) has received the prestigious Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab (BLI) award for ‘Outstanding Achievement in Innovation’ for Workplace Hub and ‘Outstanding Workflow Automation Platform’ for its Dispatcher Phoenix 6.
On Workplace Hub
Konica Minolta’s Workplace Hub is an all-in-one Managed IT solution that consolidates an organization’s technology via a single, centralized platform by directly addressing growing IT complexity. It does this by providing more efficient and effective management of the disparate array of tools, services and devices used by modern organizations, harnessing the best in breed of technologies from its partner network.
Regarding Workplace Hub, Buyers Lab stated that “It’s not often that a truly ground-breaking product comes along, but Konica Minolta’s Workplace Hub is just such an innovation. Meant to be the IT heart of a small office, branch location, department or anywhere where an ‘edge’ computing infrastructure is needed, the solution combines a turnkey IT infrastructure appliance—either as a rack-mount server or built into a Konica Minolta MFP—with the company’s 24/7 monitoring and management service for a ‘hands-off,’ fully managed IT environment.”
Notably, this recognition continues Workplace Hub’s award success, which includes, but is not limited to, the Editor’s Choice award by Managed.IT Magazine for its Workplace Hub solution earlier this year.
