Manage printing, scanning, users and costs
Keeping a handle on everything to do with printing and scanning can be a headache for any organisation.
You want printing to be easy, so that no-one's productivity is hampered. You want to stay in control of what you're spending on print, and you want to avoid waste. And you want to reduce the risk of confidential information falling into the wrong hands. And if, like many organisations today, you're on a digital transformation journey, you want scanning to be as simple as printing, with easy, automated routing of scans to the right destinations for efficient document management, and ready access to electronic documents for those who need it.
You can do all of that with Konica Minolta's YSoft SafeQ, a comprehensive print and scanning management solution. It integrates with our bizhub multifunctional printers (MFPs) and other devices, including production presses, to help you:
- Make printing and document capture more flexible, efficient and secure
- Understand and manage the cost of document printing and capture operations
- Improve information security
- Centralise user management
