Project phases
Consultancy
Konica Minolta specialists performed a pre-project audit and analyzed the existing printing infrastructure at the bank’s headquarters.
The audit results helped them understand the bank’s print and document workflow needs and design an optimization project, including a proposal to reduce the number of print devices and replace them with higher-performance models.
Implementation
They began the implementation of the pilot project in the part facing the public of the bank.
As part of the pilot project, Konica Minolta provided 340 printing devices of different sizes, from personal devices to full range to high-speed A3 systems, and implemented YSoft SafeQ software and hardware solution to control and manage print jobs…
Management
