Ricoh鈥檚 Evolution into a Digital Services Company

海角社区advocated the Office Automation (OA) concept in 1977. We have since helped transform how our customers work by focusing on Office Printing solutions such as copiers and multifunction printers (MFP). We are leveraging our established customer base, customer touchpoints, and intellectual property to deliver unique services that support digital transformations in workplaces globally.
