This year marks a major milestone for BOSS as we celebrate 20 years of partnership with Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd. Over the past two decades, this collaboration has evolved from a regional print supply agreement into a leading force in managed print and digital solutions across the UK. It also coincides with the 20th anniversary of Konica Minolta’s iconic bizhub range, a pioneering all-in-one hub for print, copy, scan and fax that has transformed workplaces worldwide.
Back in 2005, BOSS was one of the first organisations in the UK to recognise the potential of the bizhub range to boost workplace productivity and efficiency. As Paul Jones, Director at BOSS, recalls:
“We were looking to grow our copier clients but lacked colour options. Impressed by the performance and reliability of Konica Minolta’s new bizhub colour devices, we became an exclusive Konica Minolta partner. Two decades on, the relationship continues to evolve in step with the industry’s shift toward connected, secure and sustainable solutions.”
From 250 Devices to More Than 1,650
What began with just 250 supported devices has grown to more than 1,650, with BOSS now delivering advanced document solutions to organisations in a wide range of sectors. This growth reflects not only changing customer needs but also the strength of a partnership built on adaptability, innovation and leadership.
Driving Digital Transformation
By combining Konica Minolta’s cutting-edge product portfolio and technical expertise with BOSS’s local insight and customer-first approach, we have helped customers modernise their print environments and transition towards digitally optimised workplaces.
Our joint solutions include the latest bizhub hardware, print management software such as PaperCut, and workflow tools like Document Navigator, FileStar and M-Files. Both BOSS and Konica Minolta share a strong commitment to sustainability, delivering energy-efficient and environmentally conscious services.
Looking to the Future
For us, this partnership has always been about more than technology. It is about shared ambition and long-term collaboration.
“Our partnership with Konica Minolta is more than a supplier relationship, it is a shared journey toward innovation, service excellence and sustainability,” says Paul. “Together, we are expanding our market reach, advancing digital solutions and strengthening our technical expertise to deliver smarter, more secure and environmentally responsible workplace solutions for our clients.”
Cameron Mitchell, Business Leader for Indirect Channel at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, adds:
“This partnership has never just been about technology, it is about shared ambition. BOSS continues to be a fantastic partner, and we are proud to celebrate 20 years of collaboration and technology innovation. We look forward to continuing this journey together as we drive meaningful transformation for customers across the UK.”
We are proud of what we have achieved together over the last 20 years and we are excited about what the future holds. If you would like to learn more about our managed print and digital solutions, get in touch with our team today.
