What wedo We specialise in either streamlining, or managing, what we call High Transaction Information Flow. Confused by this term? Don t be. Think of processes in a business that occur regularly, repeatedly and are often document heavy. Examples include consolidating a company s entire invoicing function, or helping a hospital administration make optimal use of its patient records. How we do it In streamlining document heavy processes, or managing them on behalf of our customers, we adopt an End-to-End Approach. We become a partner to our customers for the entire journey, from initial consultation, to analysis, through to recommendations, training and implementation. And we continue to work with them postimplementation, to ensure continuous improvement and success. What makes us different? We know that our Change Management approach really makes a difference. We understand that when a new way of doing things is introduced, end-users people who are critical to the project s success can be defensive. To address this, Ricoh s global change management professionals, trained to Prosci s ADKAR methodologies, are there to help manage change for our customers at every step of the way. The net effect? Ricoh transforms the way businesses organise and capitalise on knowledge and information. As a result, business transactions and customer interactions work better, together, for everyone s benefit. We apply this approach through our four core capabilities in: 1. Managed Document Services 2. Production Printing 3. Office Solutions 4. IT Services 1. Managed Document Services Ricoh s Managed Document Services streamline information workflows and manage document processes, saving businesses time and money by allowing easy access to the right information at the right time. We make managing information easy by helping businesses make the most of the technology, the people and the processes involved, at the same time ensuring their information security and sustainability goals are met. Our Managed Document Services address the three fundamental parts of the document lifecycle input (how information comes into a business), throughput (how it moves around a business) and output (processing it in a way that adds business value). As well as improving processes and helping businesses manage the related change within their organisations, businesses trust us to manage their high volume transactional business documents, freeing their people to focus on the core business.

Innovation at work For centuries the written word was the primary way humans shared information. From the quill to the ballpoint pen, the technology didn t advance that much.
