What will change with bEST?

Optimized business performance

bEST can provide customized solutions to meet customers' specific business needs by integrating existing industry standard or market proven external applications into Konica Minolta devices. For example, customized user interfaces that enable easy, standardized operability can be provided across the entire Konica Minolta product line*1 --- from black & white to colour, from high-end to low-end --- creating a solution designed to optimize the customer’s business performance.
*1 Some products may not be equipped with certain functions.

Cost reduction and eco-consciousness

Digitizing the everyday documents circulating throughout the office helps save paper resources. And integrating user authentication into accounting management clarifies device usage by department and by individual, raising cost awareness and leading to overall cost reductions. Device management costs can also be reduced by consolidating the management of multiple-devices into a single location, raising cost-efficiency.

Improved security

Incorporating a document management system linked to user authentication allows the centralized management of user information and effectively prevents unauthorized access while allowing authorized users to utilize and share information flexibly.
