Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. announces the expansion of its longstanding relationship with Square 9 Softworks into an exclusive partnership. This news comes on the heels of last week’s launch of BlueIrisIQ, a newly created business unit designed to spearhead market growth in the content and information management segment. Square 9 is a leading provider of AI-powered information management and workflow automation solutions. This enhanced agreement marks a major milestone, positioning Konica Minolta as the sole North American distributor of Square 9’s award-winning offerings, a strategic move designed to deliver end-to-end service and support across both direct and dealer channels.
The expanded partnership reinforces Konica Minolta’s leadership in intelligent automation and scales the capabilities of BlueIrisIQ through a unified, enterprise-ready model. Together, the two organizations have created a streamlined structure that centralizes service delivery, accelerates implementation and strengthens post-sales support, all while fueling national market power and momentum.
“This expansion is a natural evolution of the trust and success we’ve built with Square 9 over the past ten years,” said Meg Fleming, Vice President and General Manager, BlueIrisIQ. “Our customers and partners are facing unprecedented pressure to streamline operations, reduce costs and scale faster. With Square 9’s advanced automation tools and our dedicated support model, we’re empowering organizations to transform the way they work.”
As part of the enhanced partnership, Konica Minolta has introduced a dedicated team of Square 9-certified engineers to support sales, deployment and ongoing service. Customers also gain access to an exclusive support hotline offering direct communication with solution experts for faster resolutions and technical guidance.
“Konica Minolta has risen to become one of Square 9’s most elite partners,” said Stephen Young, president and CEO, Square 9 Softworks. “Through more than a decade of collaboration, they’ve consistently delivered value through proven project management, scalable design and long-term customer success strategies. This exclusive partnership is the natural next step, enabling customers to leverage the full power of BlueIrisIQ and build recurring revenue models without additional investment.”
By combining Square 9’s advanced automation tools with Konica Minolta’s dedicated delivery engine, the companies will lead the charge in AI-driven automation, revolutionizing the accessibility and affordability of intelligent information. By significantly reducing the cost of data extraction and removing barriers to entry, this partnership opens the door to markets that were once out of reach due to complexity or budget constraints.
Square 9’s reputation as an industry leader is rooted in its rapid deployment, user-friendly design and award-winning customer support, all of which are now embedded into Konica Minolta’s BlueIrisIQ service model. The result is a turnkey solution for customers looking to outsource operational pain points and drive digital transformation.
