Konica Minolta confirms its long-standing expertise as a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner

Digital transformation is not determined solely by the choice of technology. Its success depends above all on people, their professional experience, and the quality of the services provided by suppliers. That is precisely why Microsoft annually evaluates and recognises its partners through designations and specialisations for specific product and service areas.

Konica Minolta IT Solutions Czech has long confirmed its expertise and its position as a reliable Microsoft partner.

We continue to demonstrate deep expertise across key areas covered by Microsoft Solutions Partner designations and specialisations, from business applications and intelligent automation through low-code development, data management and artificial intelligence to cloud security.

What do Microsoft Solutions Partner designations mean?

These are certainly not just marketing logos “for decoration”. Microsoft Solutions Partner awards represent the highest level of partnership within the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program. Each designation is the result of a rigorous evaluation process.

They are always awarded for a specific solution area and confirm that a partner consistently meets strict requirements related to:

• technical expertise and consultant certifications,
• successfully delivered and auditable customer projects,
• active development of solutions on Microsoft platforms,
• demonstrable results, such as automated processes in production environments,
• adherence to Microsoft best practices, including high standards of security, governance and solution lifecycle management.

For selected specialisations, an independent audit is also conducted to verify the design, implementation and operation of solutions for real customers.

Beyond the designations themselves, selected partners can also earn specialisations. Microsoft awards these only for proven expertise in specific scenarios and solutions.

Specialisations are subject to regular audits and are time-limited. Without continuous, demonstrable results, they cannot be maintained.

Intelligent Automation
One of the most demanding and strategically important Microsoft specialisations. It confirms expertise in process automation using Power Automate and robotic process automation (RPA).

It also includes document processing and the practical application of artificial intelligence in everyday business scenarios. Microsoft places emphasis here not only on technology, but also on governance, security and measurable customer benefits.

Small and Midsize Business Management
A specialisation focused on implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and related solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. It assesses the ability to cover key business processes from finance through manufacturing to logistics.

Practical benefits for our customers

For companies and organisations, these awards provide the assurance that their solutions are designed and delivered by experts with proven experience, based on Microsoft best practices. This minimises both technological and project-related risks while ensuring a faster return on investment.

In addition, customers gain solutions designed in compliance with security and regulatory requirements, as well as access to the latest Microsoft technologies, including automation and artificial intelligence. These areas play a crucial role in improving efficiency and competitiveness today.

We build on quality, expertise and innovation

Konica Minolta is a partner that understands not only technology, but also how processes work in real-life business, organisational and public-sector environments. And we are committed to remaining that partner.

The achievement and repeated renewal of Microsoft designations and specialisations confirm our long-term commitment to quality and innovation.

From our perspective as a supplier, this is not a one-off success, but a continuous investment in know-how, people and high standards of project management within the Microsoft Cloud environment. Advances in AI, automation, data science and security are playing an increasingly critical role in the long-term success of companies and organisations.
