(Konica Minolta) announced its newest strategic initiatives to support the workplace of the future. The event theme, \u201cIgniting Connectivity,\u201d represents advancements within Konica Minolta\u2019s IT Services Division, All Covered that will bring the latest technology to its channels.

Konica Minolta is looking to new partnerships to bring more value to its offerings by facilitating direct access to some of the world\u2019s largest technology providers. The company proudly announced a new strategic alliance with Dropbox Business for collaboration, a partnership that will take Konica Minolta and its customers to the next level of connected workplace solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKonica Minolta\u2019s goal is to partner with the best in breed<\/g> in every category of technology,\u201d said Mark Simons, senior vice president, Strategic Alliances, Konica Minolta. \u201cIn doing so, we are striving to provide opportunities for our dealers to align with leading companies in all areas that support SMBs and the workplace of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dealer Summit will also feature a number of educational sessions, to be hosted on Oct. 10, focused on new technologies, the connected workplace, production printing, labeling opportunities and industrial print and wide format. An \u201cIT Speed Consulting\u201d session will offer insights on security, cloud services, managed voice and managed IT. The following morning, members of Konica Minolta\u2019s All Covered team will discuss strategy and implementation of Forza, the company\u2019s Enterprise Resource Planning system, a key technology for digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
