Optimized Print Services Success Story Company Profile: Matador Group, Slovakia Matador is an industrial and investment group doing business in transportation, especially automotive industries, mechanical engineering and machining. Matador’s aspiration is to become a leader in all business activities that it pursues, either within all relevant geographical locations or in a region. The company is a reliable contractor to first-rate carmakers and their suppliers. Its portfolio also includes research, design and development works, as well as global trading and consultancy services.
Customer’s current situation/challenge The Matador Group has an enormous print volume of about one million printouts per month. The company’s fleet consists of about 200 devices and more than 500 PC workstations spread over six subsidiaries in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Konica Minolta’s customer was looking for a total solution for its output infrastructure, including a managed print system with an automatic maintenance service and supply of consumables, plus a centralised accounting and controlling system as well as managed user rights.
Success summary Konica Minolta achieved significant savings for the client, cutting costs and improving security with the aid of SafeQ user authentication. Optimised workflows can now be guaranteed with new and reliable eco-friendly devices and an automated supply of consumables. Data from six locations are collected at one central point to constantly improve the new customised services.

Konica Minolta, Optimized Print Services
Optimized Print Services OPS combines consultancy, hardware and software implementation and operation to develop improvement strategies based on precise facts and figures. It guarantees cost reductions and trouble-free processes.
OPS Consult In the consult phase of Konica Minolta’s OPS, the imaging company’s experts used a slightly modified OPS Fleet Consult basic approach for analysing and capturing all significant data of Matador’s print infrastructure. A modified OPS Fleet consult basic module was also used for the following optimisation of the infrastructure.
OPS Implement The existing fleet was updated and partly replaced by standard preconfigured devices. Multifunctional A3 colour and black and white peripherals (MFPs) from the bizhub series (with up to 50ppm in colour and 60ppm in black and white) are now the backbone of the infrastructure. Konica Minolta also provided software and support for the PC and server driver installation. Basic training for employees made sure that they know how to benefit from the new technology’s advantages. Data from Konica Minolta’s CS Remote Care solution and Page Scope Device Manager software is constantly collected and used as a basis for offering automated dispatch and on-time consumables delivery services. The implementation of SafeQ user authentication enables central accounting and monitoring of all six locations. Users are easily identified by wireless cards and the printing policy can be implemented and adjusted at any time for each employee.
OPS Manage Konica Minolta’s solution is easily scalable and very flexible to fulfil current needs. Ongoing monitoring of all six subsidiaries continuously identifies optimisation potential. Automatic toner and paper delivery are part of the support package as well as waste handling and maintenance service.
