Customer Success Story: University of Western Australia
UWA first partnered with Konica Minolta in 2018 to address a sprawling, decentralised fleet of 1,200 printers spanning 216 models and 16 manufacturers, driving up costs and creating inconsistent user experiences.
By 2024, Konica Minolta refreshed the ageing fleet with a tailored mix of devices, backed by a virtual audit to remove underused machines and upgrade overused ones. New services included custom paper tray security locks and PaperCut mobility print, all rolled out with minimal disruption.
The transition to Konica Minolta’s solutions has been seamless, and the partnership over the years has consistently delivered value. From reducing our fleet to implementing new features like mobility print, Konica Minolta has been a vital partner in helping us achieve our goals.
