Still, his optimism is far higher today than it was during the pandemic when office building across the globe were largely empty. Like most OEMs, Lee is constrained by a discretionary budget and ongoing supply chain issues. Konica Minolta also created a separate e-commerce platform with partner Elastic Path to create new customer experience touchpoints, Lee says, adding that he has high hopes for a rebounding office workforce and what the company’s planned evolution of the multifunction printer and services the company can provide to enterprises. To date, the company currently partners with a SaaS vendor that provides a chatbot for customer service that saves a lot of overhead and “we’re evaluating where we could potentially leverage ChatGPT for content creation for our marketing teams,” Lee says, but acknowledging a proper AI strategy will use data and analytics to get there. It’s still too early for Lee to predict AI plans. “There’s a value proposition of our products providing lots of analytics and insights back to our customers, whether it’s a direct account or a dealer,” the CIO says, adding that the company services large enterprise accounts such as BMW and Accenture, as well as dealers across the globe.

Eventually, AI will be a part of the evolution of Konica Minolta’s equipment. The sky is the limit when using advanced analytics, a new generation of IoT sensors and automated factories that are based in Japan. Going forward, Lee expects the multifunction printer will be reinvented into a connected office hub with service packs that could yield data about the office environment such as energy utilization, power consumption, office temperature, possibly external equipment failures, supply issues, or even viral loads in the air, Lee says. “Through GCP, BigQuery, and Looker, we will be able to automate those and track them. “Monthly KPIs are produced manually today,” he says. Lee also expects new deals to result from the sophisticated analytics platform.

Adding Google Cloud, Looker, and BigQuery will yield more sophisticated insights for enhanced workflows and more lucrative business outcomes, such as better demand generation for marketing teams, refined qualification of incoming leads, and faster notifications of sales leads to the sales force - all of which will lead to incremental new top line revenue, Lee predicts. Today, the company uses Tableau and PowerBI for analytics. “One of the business outcomes is for our field-service technicians, to make them more efficient and productive, and the other value proposition is using the analytics and insights generated to design better products for our customers, whether they are direct or dealers,” Lee says, adding that doing so will drive new business revenue. It will also enable the company to develop new services that piggyback off existing services provided by multifunction office machines, the CIO says. For example, playlist changes you make on your tablet will be automatically reflected on your phone and vice versa.The business benefits of analytics in the cloudįirst, US Konica Minolta’s hop to the cloud will improve overall efficiencies and cut IT maintenance costs, Lee notes.
