The MPS provider said that this will “enhance printer driver management capabilities for customers”.
The partnership will also allow Konica Minolta’s customers to access PrinterLogic’s advanced printer driver management and installation, which easily fits in with Konica Minolta’s MPS. PrinterLogic’s MPS supplies “centrally managed direct IP printing and empowers end users to install their own printers, enhance security, and optimize efficiency” while Konica Minolta delivers “comprehensive print management solutions that solve critical issues faced by IT”.
PrinterLogic said that they “have a lot of Konica Minolta devices across the enterprise, and […] use PrinterLogic to simplify and streamline our printer management with Epic”. Konica Minolta’s customers can take advantage of the key benefits from PrinterLogic ,such as “centralised driver deployment and management […] the ability to configure, deploy and update printer drivers from a single, centralised console allows customers to maintain a single printer driver repository that they can use to consistently deliver the right driver to every printer in their organisation”.
PrinterLogic provides its own universal driver for “fail-safe printing” and supports Windows, Mac and Linux “end-user workstations”, as well as “supporting 32- and 64- bit drivers allowing both platforms to exist side by side”. It also “eliminate[s] print servers […] regardless of how many offices or employees an organization might have, IT staff may centrally manage all printers while eliminating print servers altogether to significantly reduce print-related costs”.
PrinterLogic also has print security capabilities and “advanced mobile printing features” which enable users to “quickly and easily print from their mobile devices to any network printer, regardless of the printer’s mobile capabilities”.
Matt Riley, Vice President of Channels at PrinterLogic, said: “Konica Minolta is an incredibly valuable addition to the PrinterLogic ecosystem, and we are thrilled to formalise our partnership. Combining PrinterLogic’s powerful printer and driver management solutions with Konica Minolta’s world-class technology and expertise will result in greater flexibility and better experiences for all customers, regardless of what their print management environments looks like today.”
Nick Pegley, Vice President, Solutions and Services Business Development at Konica Minolta, said: “It’s always our goal to increase the power and flexibility of the print management solutions available to our customers. PrinterLogic brings tremendous value to our customers, especially when it comes to printer driver management and deployment, and seamlessly integrates with the existing print management solutions we offer.
“So regardless of what print management solutions our customers use today, this partnership will help add powerful new capabilities that will enhance their printing environments.”
