Ricoh Professional Services Solutions that make an impact. With the rise of networked enterprises, the complexities of document management have multiplied. Most likely, your resources have not. Your organization may not have the ability to print, duplicate, and deliver finished documents, the personnel to monitor workflow, nor the technology to get jobs done quickly and cost-effectively. Faced with unprecedented pressures to deliver more products and services with greater urgency and efficiency, it makes sense to: Focus on your core competencies Reduce and control document-related operating costs Better allocate your resources Gain access to the latest document-related technologies Acquire new resources dedicated to document management That means outsourcing your document management processes to a provider that can maximize your productivity and minimize document-related costs across the enterprise. That resource is RICOH Professional Services (RPS).

PeopleProcessesTechnology Comprehensive document process outsourcing In a document process outsourcing (DPO) engagement, RPS assumes responsibility for an entire document-intensive business process in your organization. Essentially, DPO enables you to offload the administrative burden of managing the people, processes, and technologies involved in the process and redirect these resources to higher-level activities. With our considerable and wideranging experience in DPO, RPS typically uses this strategy to help customers realize significantly higher levels of productivity and process efficiency, as well as discover new opportunities to reduce operating costs. How DPO helps actual Ricoh customers The following examples taken from engagements with actual Ricoh customers illustrate how DPO enables large organizations to: Reduce costs. A large insurance company was struggling with inefficient service in its corporate document center. An RPS team was brought in to manage document creation, printing, insertion, and mailing for policies and checks. After eliminating a nine-day backlog, RPS optimized workflow and upgraded technology in the center. RPS reduced turn-time for critical documents to less than 24 hours, enabling the customer to achieve 100% on-time notification, avoid regulatory penalties, and save millions. Streamline workflow. A manufacturer had an unacceptable amount of document waste caused by obsolete printed materials. When RPS assumed control of production, the team revamped workflow among the publications, marketing, and printing departments, converted the process to print-on-demand, and eliminated 100% of document waste. RPS teams also provided writing and graphic design for the company s marketing materials and technical manuals. Improve productivity. A global manufacturer that needed documentation support for frequent product rollouts assigned the entire process to RPS. Today, RPS prints, distributes, and stocks inventory for all service bulletins, technical manuals, rollout kits, and other documents ordered by the company s sales and service teams. All documents are stocked for immediate shipment and updated automatically as new versions arrive from the manufacturer.
