Press release Konica Minolta presents YSoft SafeQ version 6 with a new set of features combining efficient printing and workflow management Langenhagen, Germany, August 2016 Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH (Konica Minolta) is expanding its YSoft SafeQ office software platform. The latest version of YSoft SafeQ is a platform for print accounting, cost reporting and print policy, as well as for advanced and accurate data capture. With its modular approach, the product can be scaled to fit each customer’s needs. YSoft SafeQ version 6 is available from the middle of August 2016. “In its new version, the YSoft SafeQ application is even more competitive than it has been so far,” comments Florian Loske, Product Manager at Konica Minolta. “The benefits, such as reducing costs, improving productivity and increasing the security of document handling, have been extended beyond printed paper copies to digital, scanned content. This makes YSoft SafeQ a powerful response to our customers’ demands for both print management and document workflow management.” One seamless solution for print management & advanced workflow Customers can expect to manage their entire print and document capturing systems efficiently with the use of a single software solution. In addition, users also benefit from harmonized interfaces and a centralized installation. One major enhancement of the platform is Client Based Print Roaming. Here, print jobs are spooled on the client’s PC instead of the business’ server, essentially reducing the need for costly servers. Another new feature is the multitenancy capability, which has been specifically designed for IT service providers or large enterprises that want to share existing IT infrastructures across multiple companies or branches under a single YSoft SafeQ system. Costs can be reduced without having to compromise on data security, as the data is independent, isolated and secure. A scalable solution for the perfect fit Thanks to the modularity of the YSoft SafeQ platform, all of the modules and suites on offer can be configured precisely to the needs of the customer. This allows any organization – from SMBs to global enterprises – to secure document handling, reduce print costs and implement efficient document workflow in an increasingly digital environment. The platform is also an ideal solution for organizations such as universities or schools that want to charge users for the print service - the YSoft Payment System is the answer to their needs. 1
