Konica Minolta Reveals Updates to the Dispatcher Phoenix Family of Workflow Automation Solutions

RAMSEY, NJ—June 2, 2014—Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. today announces major updates to the Dispatcher Phoenix family of workflow automation product offerings, which include industry-specific versions for the education, healthcare and legal markets. Dispatcher Phoenix Release 4.0 adds significant functionality to all Dispatcher Phoenix offerings and now allows end users to scan and upload files to leading cloud storage service providers such as Box, Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive. Additional new features include advanced forms processing and PDF data extraction.

Dispatcher Phoenix Release 4.0 streamlines document processes, helping to optimize business procedures, reduce costs, and increase productivity. It integrates directly into the Konica Minolta bizhub MFP control panel and offers file conversion and integration with content management systems and cloud-based storage providers, making it easy to share information directly from the MFP.
