Non-core business outsourcing
[IT services, document management]
We provide one-stop support, as a single
source for multivendor products, for building and
managing IT environments that require a specialized
approach. We offer @Remote, which tracks equip-
ment status remotely and collects information, such as
the need to replace expendables, thereby freeing cus-
tomers from the trivial details of equipment operation.
We also analyze trends in equipment use by sector,
gleaned from @Remote, and apply these insights to
deliver and develop better solutions.
Our Managed Document Services (MDS)
facilitatesalldocument-relatedworkowsand
administration, and we are augmenting the menu
with additional services.

connectivity and other functions]

ment access from outside.
[Remote communication]
The RICOH Interactive Whiteboard D5500, which
enables users—even those at remote locations—to
share displayed and handwritten content in real-time,
and the RICOH Unied Communication System for
portable videoconferencing allow for smooth com-
munication among distant sites worldwide.
Emerging markets
In 2012, we opened an advanced IT
research laboratory in the southern
IndiancityofBangaloretoprovideleading-edgeIT
core technologies to meet the needs of emerging
markets. Having a local presence in India has demon-
strated the adaptability of our core technologies to
solutions in the elds of education and healthcare.
Moreover, in April 2013 we endowed a course at the
Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar for joint
academic-industrial projects and research on IT usage
and user interfaces.
We are also looking to the potential of reverse
innovation—the process by which solutions built
fornew markets breed innovations in advanced
economies.
Trends transforming the ofce: R&D and case studies
Anytime anywhere
[Portable videoconferencing system
and webconferencing system]
The RICOH Unied Communication System, which
integrates video and voice over the Internet, is an
easy way to realize remote communications, such as
videoconferencing, without designating specic
locations.
Proprietary M2M communications platform
technology supports this kind of Internet
connectivity. We build ideal platforms on the cloud,
enabling real-time, two-way video and voice
communications and multi-location communications.
Complementing the P3000 and Apps for PC, iPad
and iPhone*, we added the P1000, a display-type
model with built-in battery, to make mobile work
more efcient. ➤ WEB1
[Paperless conferences]
Amid the spread of tablets as well as heightened
environmental awareness, we developed the RICOH
Smart Presenter as a way to support communications
and make it easy to share information at paperless
meetings. Materials are simply uploaded to a dedicated
server and then automatically converted to PDF les,
and when participants opt to attend a meeting, the
necessary materials are then displayed on the partici-
pants’ terminals. A page displayed on every tablet can
be synchronized with the presenter’s page.

[Ultra-short-throw projector]
This projector offers a unique solution in various
situations, such as digital signage, videoconferencing
and paperless meetings, where space is limited. It
features Ricoh’s innovative optical technology to
keep both the projector footprint and weight to a
minimum while enabling ultra-close-image projection.
