Ramsey, NJ and Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 13, 2007 -- Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (www.kmbs.konicaminolta.us) (Konica Minolta) and IPRO Tech (www.iprocorp.com) today announced the ability to provide clients in the legal industry with improved document capture and high speed printing output. Konica Minolta's award-winning bizhub PRO? 1050e and bizhub PRO 920 digital printing systems are certified for use with IPRO Copy+, IPRO Label+ and IPRO eScan-IT software. This enhanced compatibility between Konica Minolta bizhub PRO systems that scan, copy and print, with IPRO software allows clients to use Konica Minolta's MFPs to scan documents directly into IPRO solutions to capture document images and full text data, Bates number, label, store, retrieve, distribute and print critical legal information.

"Legal applications are, by nature, very document intensive and tracking and access to critical document-based information is important to successful litigation," said Kevin P. Kern, vice president, product planning and development, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. "Our production print systems like the bizhub PRO 1050e and bizhub PRO 920 are ideal for clients using IPRO software solutions in litigation support and other legal applications. Our high speed scanning and light production printing capabilities offer the productivity required to capture, manage and share evidentiary and other supporting documents at a cost far less than competitive solutions.

"Scanning, copying and printing are critical functions in our document imaging and document management systems that are designed for the legal industry," said Paul Thompson, vice president of sales, IPRO Tech. "We want to provide 'best-of-breed' bigger, stronger, faster options to our clients and the bizhub PRO systems from Konica Minolta are ideal for our applications.

They offer more productivity and features at a lower total cost of ownership."

The solution consists of a software application residing on a standard PC connected to a Konica Minolta high-volume production print system.
