Enterprise Content Management from Konica Minolta

Often Konica Minolta, an AEA Purchasing and AEPA Vendor partner, is only thought of as a copier/printer supplier.  Most don’t know they provide a wide range of services including IT services, Telepresence, Virtual Receptionist Active Panels and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) -- a powerful tool for managing information, meeting compliance regulations and improving educational results in K-12 school districts.

In K-12 schools and districts across the country, educators and administrators are challenged by a large and growing volume of documents—files and paper-based information that must be managed, accessed, shared and retained. ECM is a streamlined, secure solution for managing information throughout your district. 

  • Documents everywhere can lead to efficiency nowhere. 
  • Lengthy retention periods demand filing cabinets that take up valuable space. 
  • Staff time to file, retrieve, copy and distribute paper documents is better spent on educational activities. Stringent compliance and certification mandates require regular monitoring to ensure that student files, testing forms, staff reports and related materials are in place and up-to-date. 
  • Video, audio and image data is increasingly important, but may not be accommodated by existing storage systems. 
  • Declining administration budgets are motivating districts to find ways to work smarter, not just harder.
Konica Minolta’s top-ranked Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions, an AEA Purchasing contract product, offer practical, proven benefits to improve the flow of educational information, speed retrieval, control access and maintain the enhanced security that K-12 districts demand.
