Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Inc. has announced upgrades to its cloud-based workflow automation solution, Dispatcher Stratus. Since the product's launch early last year, Konica Minolta's Solutions Engineering Center has built on the initial security strategy to provide a more comprehensive security, print and scan solution that better meets the needs of more customers.

In addition to performance updates, new people-based workflows and document automation features, Dispatcher Stratus is now even more tightly aligned into Konica Minolta's layered security strategy, providing additional features and functions to empower customers to secure their devices, workflows and documents.

Upgraded security features include:

• bizhub Secure Dashboard: Seamless integration with the bizhub SECURE notifier app to level up MFP security, with central management and visibility
• MFP and Web Portal Authentication: Enhanced security, usability and compliance with integrated authentication, additional Identity provider support and card authentication
• Release2Me secure cloud print: Improved operational and document security with Release2Me's secure cloud print, with personalized/shared/guest/etc. queues, delegation and much more

Dispatcher Stratus' powerful new enhancements also include e-signature functionality and intelligent, dynamic e-forms that adapt in real time based on user input. These upgrades are designed to simplify data collection and deliver a seamless, intuitive user experience across organizations. Built on a true-cloud infrastructure, Dispatcher Stratus is also designed to help organizations transitioning from traditional on-premise systems. Its architecture supports the demands of hybrid workplaces, delivering greater flexibility, seamless collaboration and efficient resource management. Scalable across industries, Dispatcher Stratus serves small and mid-sized businesses as well as global enterprise-level organizations, delivering tailored solutions that grow with a business.

"The future is very bright for Konica Minolta and the industry as a whole," said Manuel Couceiro, vice president of the Solutions Engineering Center, Konica Minolta. "Dispatcher Stratus helps users say goodbye to manual operations and document handling, so they can focus on growth and customer interaction. And these new security-centric features double down on the solution's goals of security and efficiency. By fully automating key business processes, Dispatcher Stratus helps every level — from individual users, to departments to the entire global organization — get more done with less effort, lower costs, more efficiency and now even more securely."

As Konica Minolta's premier scan capture, document processing automation and human-in-the-loop workflow solution, Dispatcher Stratus licenses now include Authentication and the bizhub SECURE Notifier Dashboard. Dispatcher Stratus delivers core functionality through a single, multitenant cloud platform, bringing advanced value and seamless integration to Konica Minolta's MFPs. The solution was recently recognized with a BLI 2025 Pick Award from Keypoint Intelligence.
