With mobile device usage growing faster than our population, connectivity is becoming increasingly important not just in everyday life, but in business.
Alongside increased mobile device usage is the rapidly advancing Internet of Things (IoT) market — predicted to hit 1.4 trillion dollars as soon as 2021. IoT hardware — from smart sensors to cameras — focuses on processing and cultivating connectivity to create tangible benefits for consumers and the business world.
Now, the increasing reliance of businesses on a remote workforce has companies innovating new hardware and software to ensure connectivity, productivity, and security remain at high levels.
One of those companies, Konica Minolta, has reimagined the multifunction printer for the modern office with an emphasis on efficiency and security in an interconnected world.
The bizhub iSeries — Your Answer to Enhanced Productivity
The bizhub iSeries group of multifunction printers (MFPs) is designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind, but with a series of integrated tools and applications that allow for customization to meet the needs of specific business environments.
The bizhub iSeries, with its unique blend of operability and high-quality performance, brings a host of benefits to any organization.
1. Streamlined Workflows for Boosted Productivity
The award-winning Konica Minolta marketplace offers companies a suite of applications targeted toward productivity, allowing you to customize your equipment for optimal performance.
Also, the iSeries uses Dispatcher software, a sequence of products that expands the printers’ capabilities through workflow automation, print management, and document management features.
With cloud connectivity, you can easily work with SharePoint, OnBase, Laserfiche, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and other document services to easily and efficiently download, print, copy, and share important information.
Moreover, the iSeries offers easy touch-screen controls and even voice control for improved access. With print and copying speeds of up to 42 pages per minute (ppm) and a scan rate of up to 90 ppm, they offer enough speed for even high-demand businesses.
With options for large output trays, upgraded memory, and even staple finishing and booklet options, the iSeries offers full functionality to meet any business need.
2. Access to Better Security
With cybersecurity a continued priority for savvy businesses, Konica Minolta has thoughtfully built the bizhub iSeries to dovetail easily with their Workplace Hub so that all technology can be kept safely in one location for ease of access — and security.
While the Hub possesses useful integrations such as user and admin dashboards and a feature that prioritizes IT tasks to free up business resources, it also functions to protect against cyberattacks, restore your system in the event of a breach, and provide another level of protection for your critical data.
Files can be edited and shared from anywhere and admins can keep tabs on IT information in the office — and on the go.
In addition, they offer vCare, a software system that provides service alerts, supply warnings, firmware reports, and more to ensure your equipment is running at optimal levels.
While all iSeries printers are GDPR compliant and ISO 15408 certified, the optional bizhub SECURE software offers a series of security upgrades such as network setting security, antivirus, card readers, and more.
3. Environmental Considerations
With consumers increasingly interested in businesses that have a care for the environment, Konica Minolta has built-in environmentally friendly features in the bizhub iSeries.
Konica’s patented toner that includes biomass as an ingredient has a lower fuming temperature that conserves energy while providing sharp, high-quality prints. And their improved consumables use fewer materials overall while maintaining a long product lifespan for minimized downtime and less waste.
The iSeries is Energy Star certified with an EPEAT Gold rating and meets the strict Blue Angel standards for materials selection, chemical emission, recyclable design, and energy consumption.
To help businesses go green, Konica has a free Clean Planet recycling program to keep waste out of landfills to further preserve and protect our precious resources.
