Ramsey, N.J. – February 25, 2010 – Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, today announced BERTL® Inc (BERTL) has awarded the 2009 BERTL's Best Award for Best Integrated Scanning Solution to Konica Minolta and Nuance for the eCopy ShareScan® solution designed for integrated Konica Minolta multifunctional printers (MFPs – print, copy, fax, scan all-in-one system).  Introduced in Fall 2009, this award-winning solution was launched through Konica Minolta’s bizhub® Extended Solution Technology (bEST) Developer Support Program.

Offering Konica Minolta customers enhanced workflow efficiency by converting paper documents into easily managed digital files, eCopy ShareScan gives IT administrators the ability to manage document scanning functionality from a central location, which decreases administration costs.  Customers can choose from two configurations – eCopy ShareScan Essentials or eCopy ShareScan Suite – both of which provide cost-effective alternatives for customers to address their specific document management environment.

"Congratulations to Konica Minolta and Nuance eCopy for earning the well-deserved BERTL's Best Award for this new and innovative document solution" said Margie Davis, Managing Director, BERTL, Inc.  "Evaluated by the BERTL team of analysts as part of our user-focused testing, eCopy ShareScan more than meets the needs of Konica Minolta users requiring an easy and secure solution to share and work with paper documents via Email, fax and desktop systems."

Keeping with the times and the demands of its end users, BERTL left behind the simple speed and feed productivity, artificial reliability tests and theoretical SRP pricing lists and focused on the user and the business dynamics when putting together their 14th annual "Best of the Best." 

"Earning an award for this document imaging software as part of the bEST program, along with the other 2009 BERTL’s BEST Awards for our hardware solutions, highlights the leading technology of our entire line of product and solution offerings,” said Kevin Kern, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.  "The BERTL Awards support our commitment to customers of all sizes and their ability to count on Konica Minolta for all their printing needs.”
