Konica Minolta recognised as a Leader in the first Quocirca ACT Print Industry Ecosystem Report
The Quocirca ACT Print Industry Ecosystem Report introduces a new framework for evaluating how print and digital workplace providers are evolving beyond hardware-centric models. In the inaugural edition, Konica Minolta is recognized as a Leader for its cloud-first, analytics-driven and AI-enabled approach to the digital workplace.
Why the ACT Report matters
A New Analyst Framework for a Transforming Industry
According to Quocirca, print is no longer viewed as a standalone discipline, but rather as an integral part of a comprehensive digital workplace ecosystem. “Customers increasingly expect print infrastructure to align with cloud platforms, identity systems, security architectures, and workflow automation tools.”
With the ACT Framework – Automation & AI, Cloud, and Technology Ecosystems – Quocirca evaluates how well vendors can meet these expectations today and evolve alongside customers’ future workplace strategies. The ACT Report helps companies identify which vendors can support their cloud, AI, security, and workplace transformation goals.

Understanding ACT: The three pillars
Automation & AI
Quocirca highlights the role of automation and AI in optimizing print infrastructures and document-centric business processes. This includes areas such as predictive maintenance, intelligent document processing, automated workflows, security, personalization, and sustainability.
Cloud
The Cloud pillar focuses on the transition to cloud-based operating models that support hybrid work. Quocirca highlights solutions that reduce infrastructure complexity while supporting secure, flexible and location-independent work.
Technology Ecosystems
The third pillar evaluates how well vendors integrate their solutions into broader IT environments. According to Quocirca, leadership is no longer defined by hardware alone, but by the ability to build and leverage strong technology ecosystems that enable scalable, secure and integrated digital workplace solutions.
