Konica Minolta introduces Workplace One
November 30, 2021
Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd announced the launch of its new Workplace One cloud-based digital platform, which enables SMB organisations to have their IT infrastructure and business applications hosted on the cloud and managed by Konica Minolta.
The complete package is aimed primarily at small and medium-sized organisations with up to 300 employees, relieving them of a large proportion of their IT tasks and making them ready for digital transformation.
Workplace One is part of Konica Minolta’s cloud strategy, offering organisations another attractive option for moving their on-premise IT environment to the cloud, benefiting from its numerous advantages. Workplace One also includes a Microsoft 365 licence for all an organisation’s employees and a collaborative space for communication, collaboration, and project work.
Phillip John, Category Manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd commented: “With Workplace One, we have set ourselves the goal of driving digital transformation, especially for small and medium-sized organisations. It is a secure digital workplace that is available everywhere and relieves IT teams of administrative tasks, while promoting communication and collaboration.”
As the complete package, Workplace One’s primary benefit is the ability to seamlessly move the on-premise IT environment to the cloud, but it also delivers various other components that are vital to SMBs looking to make this transition. This includes managing and hosting the IT infrastructure in the cloud – i.e., servers, storage, networks, and all business applications that are already in use for CRM, ERP, finance, information management, etc.
Konica Minolta’s Workplace One also ensures SMBs no longer have to worry about operations, maintenance, user management, licences, updates or security. With a fixed monthly fee, they also have better predictability and cost planning. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) are also included, as well as a daily backup that ensures that their organisation is protected against data loss. Standard multi-factor authentication also prevents unauthorised access to sensitive data.
“Workplace One also offers the option of differentiating users into user groups with different authorisations. This can be particularly useful for smaller organisations that are still evolving and therefore want to grow their IT environment at the same pace”, said Phillip John.
