Konica Minolta Presented on Enterprise Transformation Through IT Innovation at the CIO Summit 2013

Wednesday 07. August 2013 - Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia participated in the annual CIO Summit 2013, and Jonathan Yeo, General Manager, Regional Headquarters, was one of the distinguished speakers at the event.

Held at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from 31 July to 1 August, the CIO Summit is the foremost gathering of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Senior Information Technology (IT) Executives in Asia. The summit, which was attended by more than two hundred participants in Singapore, provided a number of platforms for the audience to hear about how latest technology trends, best practices and solutions can optimize their offices.
A thought leader in the field, Konica Minolta was represented by Mr. Yeo as he spoke on Enterprise Transformation through IT Innovation. In the presentation, he spoke on the speed at which office technologies had advanced and how users’ needs had changed. Transformation in IT affects the Front Office and has implications on technology adoption. Cloud and Mobility will also play critical roles in Front Office automation. Mr. Yeo then provided insight on how a managed print strategy could lead to reduction in cost, higher productivity and efficiency whilst maintaining a secure print environment.
As the business landscape has transformed in recent years, CIOs are now faced with new types of challenges that were not part of the job only a few years back. This year’s CIO Summit explored the new types of challenges that CIOs are faced with as a result of third platform technologies — or what the International Data Corporation (IDC) refers to as the four pillars of technology: Cloud, Big Data, Mobility and Social.
In light of the managed print strategy, Konica Minolta’s Optimised Print Services (OPS) combines consultancy, hardware, and software implementation and operation to develop improvement on the basis of precise facts and figures.
In his speech, Mr. Yeo also touched on the digitisation and how output management could lead to cost savings, efficiency and optimised workflow.
