KYOCERA Mita America Launches Solutions-Focused Website

KYOsolutions enhance the functionality and simplify the user experience of all output devices

Fairfield, NJ – May 3, 2005 – Kyocera Mita America, one of the world's leading document imaging companies, today announced the launch of a new portion of the Kyocera Mita America website (www.kyoceramita.com/us) dedicated entirely to solutions. The flash multimedia cube located on the company’s homepage directs visitors to KYOsolutions, a suite of Kyocera and 3rd party developed applications to enhance the performance, ease-of-use and extensibility of Kyocera printers and multi-functional products by leveraging the company’s technology and business process expertise to optimize performance and maximize return on investment.

"IT and business professionals are presented with many choices when selecting network or document management software solutions for their organization," said Keith Kmetz, analyst for IDC. "Hardcopy peripheral vendors are presented with a significant opportunity when addressing user requirements, especially beyond standard capture, process and route functions. Vendors need to determine how to approach these opportunities, where to target their resources, such as online, and how to deliver their solutions messages. Recently, Kyocera has optimized their online solutions strategy to better communicate and serve the end-user. When end-users are evaluating many solutions on the market, Kyocera's strategy is comprehensive enough to provide users with a clear guide to determine what solutions are best suited for their needs."

The centerpiece of Kyocera’s solutions strategy is KYOCapture, powered by AutoStore, a server-based document capture workflow tool that seamlessly integrates with existing or new document management systems. As a portal through which documents can travel, KYOcapture offers intelligent document capture, processing and routing to virtually any content management application.

“Kyocera is committed to providing an array of innovative products and solutions that meet the entire spectrum of customers’ document imaging needs in today’s digital business environment,” said Michael Pietrunti, senior vice president for Kyocera Mita America. “Our suite of KYOsolutions is a significant example of what we’re doing to develop software and solutions that improve information management, boost efficiency, and streamline workflow operations across an organization.”

Kyocera’s enhanced website will help to integrate document solutions within their long-term strategy. By optimizing the end-user experience, Kyocera has provided easier access to both business and IT-centric information and resources.
