Subject: Equitrac integrated bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST) solution
Konica Minolta is pleased to announce the availability of integrated connectors for Equitrac Office and Equitrac Express. Utilizing the Konica Minolta exclusive bizhub Extended Solution Technology (bEST) Equitrac has integrated a seamless interface from the bizhub MFP control panel eliminating the need for the costly and bulky PageCounter terminals. For those customers who wish to incorporate HID Proximity Cards for authentication, the Konica Minolta AU-201H will also be compatible to allow for seamless authentication. The integrated solutions include all the powerful features available with these applications including but not limited to "Follow You" printing, extensive reporting capabilities, user level price charges and much more. Please refer to mykonicaminolta.com or Equitrac.com for more information about Equitrac Office and Equitrac Express.
The bEST program allows third party vendors, such as Equitrac, to develop integrated connectors directly into the MFP control panel. As opposed to some of our competitors, all bEST solutions are "Integrated" with the MFP, not "Embedded". The result of this is increased MFP performance compared to some competitor’s solutions as all operations are completed on the network server rather than directly on the MFP itself.
Equitrac has long been a valued partner of KMBS. With the integration of their Office and Express offerings, we can now offer a complete solution at a reduced cost directly from the MFP control panel which will enhance your customers experience and increase productivity.
