At Ricoh, we take the time to understand our customer’s business and document needs. We provide a comprehensive service to assess and define the current document output environment by:

• Identifying fleet information and security risks,
• Discovering infrastructure or document bottlenecks and environmental impacts
• Providing a full and complete ‘AS-IS’ picture.

The analysis shows the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and the outcome from a ‘green’ survey and any potential hidden costs. This includes compliance to Environmental Regulations and business sustainability, including ISO14001.

Using the results of the document output assessment, an implementation plan is provided, based on best practices and expertise including guidelines for tangible and visible savings, as well as productivity gains.

The proposal typically includes:

• Cost reductions and TCO savings
• Maps detailing proposed devices and their location in the office
• “Green” initiatives, enabling reductions in carbon footprint and energy consumption
• Service level requirements and continuity plans
• Productivity enhancements, such as improved print workflow specifications
• Recommended best practices and printing policy
• Document security advice
