What Just Happened

Automated Business Technologies has been recognized as a Kyocera Elevate FY27 Platinum Partner — the highest partner tier in Kyocera’s dealer program. It’s the kind of award that doesn’t happen by accident: Platinum status is earned through sustained sales performance, service quality, and customer satisfaction, reassessed year over year. For a Colorado-owned dealer competing against national players, it’s confirmation that our copier and MFP business is being run the way Kyocera expects its best partners to run it.

What Kyocera Platinum Partner Status Actually Means

Kyocera’s Elevate Partner Program tiers dealers based on hardware sales volume, service capability, and training investment. Platinum is the top of that ladder. It isn’t a participation badge — it reflects that ABT’s sales and service teams have hit revenue benchmarks, completed Kyocera’s technical training requirements, and maintained the kind of customer satisfaction scores Kyocera tracks closely before renewing the designation each fiscal year.

A Two-Decade Partnership

ABT has been an authorized Kyocera dealer since well before “Platinum” was a tier most local dealers could reach. Since 2005, ABT has built its copier and MFP business in Colorado on Kyocera’s ECOSYS line — known for long-life components, lower total cost of ownership, and reliability that holds up in high-volume offices. Two decades of selling and servicing the same manufacturer’s hardware means ABT’s technicians have seen nearly every issue a Kyocera device can throw at them, and know the product line well enough to recommend the right model instead of the most expensive one.

What This Means for ABT Customers

Award recognition matters to us, but the reason it’s worth writing about is what it changes for the businesses we serve across the Front Range:

If you’ve read our earlier post on why choosing a Kyocera Platinum Dealer matters, this is the same standard — just renewed for another year. And if you’re curious what the hardware itself is capable of, we’ve also covered Kyocera’s AI-enhanced devices and put together a practical guide to getting the most out of a Kyocera copier once it’s installed.
