Few enterprises know exactly what equipment they possess and how it is being used. Even fewer monitor their supplies or post acquisition spending. In general, most enterprises only pay intermittent attention to fleets and the overall organisational responsibility is splintered. The same enterprises spend between 1% and 3% of their revenue on document output (mainly hardware related) or between 6% and 15% (total document production related). As such, document output management is increasingly being perceived as a serious problem.

The result is a growing demand from customers to centralise their various national purchasing departments and harmonise supplies and services on an international scale. Ricoh Global Services helps you as company regain and maintain control of your fleet and save between 10% and 30% of overall printing costs. How? By employing a threefold strategy:
• Rightsizing: reducing the number of output devices while matching current needs.
• Deploying multifunctional products: consolidating different products into one device.
• Purchasing competitively: centralising, outsourcing & searching for a competitive price.
Above all, however, success lies in gaining and maintaining control of the document output fleet.
