As the world forces us to stay flexible in the way we work and to constantly adapt to ever-changing markets, it is especially challenging for organisations to stay up-to-date and adapt. Changes often occur due to security issues making it particularly burdensome for SMBs that may lack in-house skills and financial resources. Moving to the cloud, especially when managed by an experienced provider, provides invaluable benefits including reduced cost, access to specialists and increased security. In addition, the increased flexibility and scalability offered by Dispatcher Paragon Cloud services can help accelerate an organisations’ digital transformation journey.

“We can help our customers to reduce IT and print services costs while improving document security by moving their print environment to the cloud with Dispatcher Paragon Cloud,” says Cynthia Loke, Head of Digital Workplace of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia. “By centralising their IT services to us, organisations are able to focus on other business-critical tasks, enabling them to accelerate their digital transformation journey.”

Konica Minolta’s cloud print services offer a wide range of benefits, including:
  • Better Cost Planning – Fixed monthly fees for a perfect overview
  • Quick and easy implementation – Rapid deployment, easy updates and fast adoption
  • Secure Printing – User authentication at any multi-functional device (MFP ensures documents do not fall into the wrong hands)
  • Improved data and document security – Certified data centres and encryption ensure data and documents are in good hands
  • Print as usual, but at reduced cost – Users continue to use their MFPs as they are accustomed to, while the business benefits from reduced operational cost
  • Higher security levels – Greater data protection across hosted infrastructure services
Choose between 2 offerings:
  • Dispatcher Paragon Cloud: Delivers print management features as a shared, hosted print infrastructure service
  • Dispatcher Paragon Cloud Pro: Delivers print management features as a reserved, hosted infrastructure service.
Customers may choose either Dispatcher Paragon Cloud service with an Edge device – where job spooling is done locally and only metadata travels securely to the cloud – or, if the MFP is connected directly to the cloud, with software embedded in the MFP.

Dispatcher Paragon Cloud offers solutions for every business size. A shared infrastructure at a low cost is ideal for a small to medium-sized business. A reserved infrastructure with resiliency options for an extra level of security and performance, and with an individual approach, meets the needs for enterprise companies. Organisations implementing either solution experience increased productivity, business continuity, cost planning and structure, scalability and flexibility, and security and compliance.
