New product duo addresses different customer needs – SAFEQ Cloud Breeze offers small and medium-sized businesses a simple, fast-to-deploy, and affordable cloud print solution, while SAFEQ Cloud Pro remains the proven enterprise version
With the repositioning of its existing cloud print solution SAFEQ Cloud into two clearly defined product variants – SAFEQ Cloud Pro and SAFEQ Cloud Breeze – Konica Minolta is responding to the different requirements of its customers and market needs. While SAFEQ Cloud Pro, as the successor to the previous SAFEQ Cloud, continues to serve as the established and further enhanced enterprise solution for complex IT environments, SAFEQ Cloud Breeze is the new, simplified variant developed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. It offers all essential cloud print functions – designed for simplicity and ease of use and at a significantly lower entry price.
SAFEQ Cloud Breeze: Simple, Fast, and Cloud-Native
With the launch of SAFEQ Cloud Breeze, Konica Minolta is responding to a clear market demand: many small and medium-sized companies are looking for a cloud print solution that fits their IT infrastructure – easy to use, quick to implement, and economically attractive. With SAFEQ Cloud Breeze, Konica Minolta now offers a tailored, solution specifically designed for cloud environments and the resources of smaller businesses, significantly reducing administrative effort.
SAFEQ Cloud Breeze is a cloud-native print and scan solution designed for smaller companies that already use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and therefore operate in a cloud-ready environment. Thanks to plug-and-play deployment, users can get started within minutes. Key features include secure printing (via card or PIN), mobile printing, one-touch scanning with ABBY OCR to email or repositories, and cost reporting – all managed entirely in the cloud.
SAFEQ Cloud Pro: The Proven Enterprise Version for Complex IT Environments
The cloud-native print and scan management solution SAFEQ Cloud Pro is an evolved version of the previous SAFEQ Cloud solution and is aimed at medium to large organizations. SAFEQ Cloud Pro includes all the features of Breeze. In addition, it offers a hybrid architecture that bridges cloud and on-premise environments, as well as integrations with SAP, AS/400, LDAP, and Active Directory. With extended authentication options (OIDC, OAuth, Ping ID), dedicated hosting, premium SLAs, and 24/7 monitoring, SAFEQ Cloud Pro is designed for companies with complex, business-critical IT setups and high security and governance requirements.
Since both solutions are cloud-based, local print server and driver management are no longer required for IT departments.
A Portfolio That Offers Every Company the Right Cloud Print Solution
