Improve Sustainability and Efficiency with Ricoh
Ricoh, a supplier on the National Education Multifunctional Devices and Associated Digital Transformation Solutions Framework’s mission is to help organisations print more sustainably. They understand that sustainable practices and corporate responsibility are not just of ethical and moral imperative, they also make smart business sense.
It’s absolutely vital to substantiate your sustainability claims and ESG commitments with tangible, actionable solutions. We can help you avoid environmental, reputational, and financial losses.
Here are some key considerations from Ricoh:
Future-proofing your print solution
Print technology has come a long way and continues to evolve at a rapid pace.
An office print solution that autonomously updates itself with the latest software and functionality increases its life-cycle considerably – offering you extended years of excellent service.
And it also means that when new trends reach our working environments – a recent example is external cloud storage – your printers will be able to incorporate them.
Improving processes across your business
A modern-day office print solution isn’t just a printer. It will feature a multitude of functions that take mundane and tedious tasks out of your people’s hands and efficiently automate them.
Examples include scanning, secure documentation, integration with cloud services and sharing information between different devices and users. And of course, printing.
Not only does this free up your people to focus on more important responsibilities and improve their productivity, it also makes the tasks themselves much more effective.
Saving on space and energy
Printers can sometimes take a lot of power to run – but not if you find solutions designed to cut down on energy consumption. Look for devices with features such as auto-off timer settings to reduce both costs and your carbon footprint while they’re not in use.
And when it comes to expensive office space, less is more. Consider multi-functional printers that act as a centralised hub of activity for a wide range of business-critical processes. Compared to using multiple devices, you’ll free up a lot of wasted space that can be put to much better use.
Valuing security
Print is a crucial part of your business. You need to be able to trust that it is safe, stable and secure.
From frequent office use to full-blown cyber-attacks, there are a multitude of things that could potentially affect a business’s office print.
That’s why leading suppliers all work incredibly hard to ensure that their devices can deliver a consistent and quality service.
It’s all about protecting your data, promoting productivity and providing absolute peace of mind.
Choosing the right partner
The partner you choose to go with can have a huge effect on your return on investment. It’s highly recommended that you browse the market for the partner that will best suit your business’s needs.
One key consideration you should keep front of mind in your decision is the level of support you’ll receive. Working with a collaborative partner is the best way to effectively integrate new devices and all of their features into your organisation – and get the most value for money out of them.
And it’s not just about printing documents. The nature of modern-day print solutions is that they can manage and automate a multitude of business-critical processes, enabling your staff to spend their time more effectively.
Looking to the future
Technology is advancing all the time. Not just with office print but across the board in every industry. It’s what makes digital transformation an ongoing process, not just a one-off investment.
