Catholic Education Western Australia chooses Konica Minolta to optimise print output with a cloud-first approach

The print management solution implementation was successful due to the close collaboration between CEWA and Konica Minolta which fostered a smooth and hassle-free experience. Both teams maintained regular communication and feedback, ensuring that the implementation stayed on track and aligned with CEWA’s specific requirements, which included cost optimisation and improved visibility of print expenses. Ben Beaton said, “Konica Minolta actively collaborated with our team to develop customised dashboards using tools like Microsoft Power BI. Through this collaborative effort, we successfully created insightful and user-friendly dashboards that significantly enhanced transparency in our print management processes. These dashboards have empowered CEWA with valuable data-driven insights, helping us make informed decisions and exercise better control over our print-related operations.”

CEWA’s experience with Konica Minolta has been transformative. The company has demonstrated its commitment to helping organisations like CEWA to reimagine their business operations. Following the initial implementation, Konica Minolta went the extra mile by conducting spot checks with the organisation’s stakeholders to ensure it was meeting its core objectives. Ben Beaton said, “This ongoing conversation, negotiation, and tweaking of the fleet to meet our needs has been invaluable. Considering our organisation’s size and geographic spread, it would have been easy to double our fleet, resulting in significantly higher costs. However, Konica Minolta worked closely with us to optimise our fleet, slimming it down to the essentials while ensuring seamless integration with our cloud collaboration strategy.”
