As an introduction to Managed Document Solutions (Outsourcing or Best Sourcing ), it is necessary for both parties entering into this form of a partnership to understand why such a venture is being considered and the roles each party is obligated to play to ensure its success. With limited expertise and resources at the disposal of organisations, outsourcing is often necessary, so as to enable Companies/Organisations to provide the levels of service their users and customers expect.

The primary motive for outsourcing is the result of limited human resources and potential cost reduction. However, studies show that savings can run as high as 20% to 40%, largely through economies of scale and the ability to leverage expertise and resources. Konica Minolta South Africa’s offers two options in this regard, firstly a total “outsource”, whereby we completely manage all print, copy, scan and fax devices and facilities and secondly a “best source” option whereby we teach and empower the client to manage their own print, copy, scan and fax devices and facilities. Both approaches are popular, and are definitely becoming the corporate standard.

Konica Minolta South Africa offers a dedicated outsourcing infrastructure with a proven track record of outsourcing spanning more than 15 years. With a nation wide network of branches, Konica Minolta South Africa is in a position to install and support our solutions at any venue.
