Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has updated its cloud print portfolio with two distinct offerings designed to meet the needs of different customer environments. The new SAFEQ Cloud Breeze solution provides small and medium‑sized businesses with an easy‑to‑deploy, cost‑effective cloud print platform, while SAFEQ Cloud Pro continues as the enhanced enterprise solution for organisations with more complex IT requirements.
The evolution of the original SAFEQ Cloud into two defined variants gives customers greater choice and alignment with their IT strategy. SAFEQ Cloud Pro builds on the established platform with advanced enterprise capabilities, whereas SAFEQ Cloud Breeze introduces a streamlined option for organisations seeking simplicity, predictable costs, and minimal administrative overhead.
SAFEQ Cloud Breeze is tailored for businesses already operating in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environments. Its plug‑and‑play deployment enables rapid onboarding, while secure printing (via card or PIN), mobile printing, one‑touch scanning with ABBYY OCR, and cloud‑based cost reporting provide the essential functionality smaller organisations need. With all management handled in the cloud, Breeze significantly reduces the burden on IT teams.
SAFEQ Cloud Pro extends the platform with hybrid architecture, enabling seamless operation across cloud and on‑premise infrastructures. It supports integrations with SAP, AS/400, LDAP, and Active Directory, and offers extended authentication options including OIDC, OAuth, and Ping ID. Dedicated hosting, premium SLAs, and 24/7
monitoring make SAFEQ Cloud Pro suitable for organisations with business‑critical workflows and stringent governance requirements.
Both SAFEQ Cloud Breeze and SAFEQ Cloud Pro eliminate the need for local print servers and driver management, giving IT departments a more efficient, scalable, and secure approach to print and scan management.
