The MFPs also offer cloud-enabled capabilities, facilitating secure document storage and access for remote work. Keypoint Intelligence noted the "simplified setup process and robust administrative capabilities," as well as "outstanding efficiency, professional-looking print quality, and excellent usability" across the product range. Security features were also highlighted, with the awards acknowledging the "robust security offering to safeguard sensitive data."

Innovative, Industry-Leading Print Technologies

Four Konica Minolta MFPs—the bizhub C451i, bizhub C551i, bizhub C651i, and bizhub C751i —received Pick Awards 2025. Keypoint Intelligence's long-term testing revealed "faster-than-average job streams and first-print-out times," contributing to the devices' productivity. Evaluators also recognised the MFPs' suitability for modern work environments, noting "above average scan speeds" that address digitisation needs for hybrid workers.

Evolving to Meet the Needs of Modern Businesses

"As office environments continue to evolve, businesses require print solutions that seamlessly align with their changing needs.
