Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) announces its new status as a Global Managed Partner. The Microsoft Global Managed Partner designation reinforces Konica Minolta\u2019s goal of bringing greater focus to its global strategic direction via jointly developed, industry-specific solutions and services and by delivering IT cloud services and solutions for the digital workplace at small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the majority of the countries it serves.<\/p>\n

Konica Minolta has grown steadily as an IT specialist in recent years, through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Among the company\u2019s central goals in its mergers and acquisitions is to expand its business by leveraging the power of Microsoft solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicrosoft has become increasingly important as an ally for us,\u201d said Hajime Takei, Senior Executive Officer and Division President of Digital Workplace Business Headquarters, Konica Minolta, Inc. \u201cThe goal has always been to bring together the best of both worlds. We want to bring the leading expertise to the market, combining our knowledge from our business \u2013 with its roots in the print area, which we have been doing for many decades \u2013 and the technology of Microsoft. This designation is a true testament to our longstanding relationship and the exceptional work of our unified teams for clients around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to partner with Konica Minolta on a global level to accompany their growth in IT and to unlock the opportunities of digital transformation for their customers,\u201d said Casey McGee, Vice President, ISV Sales at Microsoft. \u201cThe Microsoft Cloud is uniquely positioned to provide a breadth of industry-leading services and products to support Konica Minolta\u2019s development of differentiated solutions for the digital workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of its market entry into information management in 2014, Konica Minolta began offering Microsoft SharePoint solutions to its customers. The company later added solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), as well as Microsoft Azure custom development. The company first focused on the markets of Europe and North America; with its new status as a Global Managed Partner, Konica Minolta has recently added the Asian-Pacific region. Today, more than 300 certified Konica Minolta employees worldwide are helping customers adopt and use solutions to help transform their business.<\/p>\n

Microsoft-based applications fit ideally into the infrastructure that SMBs typically employ. Konica Minolta\u2019s expertise and deep customer understanding, coupled with intelligent services from Microsoft, creates a substantial benefit \u2013 especially for SMBs. In addition, Konica Minolta has developed a variety of its own applications, solutions, and services based on Microsoft cloud services to meet a wide range of customer needs in the SMB sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alliance with Microsoft enables us to combine our core competencies and trusted customer relationships with the best-secured and scalable cloud technology in order to flexibly build solutions for businesses,\u201d explained Konica Minolta\u2019s Hajime Takei. \u201cUtilizing their applications, we are able to offer our customers from SMBs systems and functionalities previously only available to larger enterprises. Through this global collaboration, we will be able to offer our customers even more opportunities to accelerate innovation and ultimately drive success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
