RICOH POWERS AHEAD, DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM SPORTS

Kuala Lumpur, 26 May 2014 – Business and sports have uncanny parallels. Perhaps no organisation has understood this better than Ricoh (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. who has powered through the years in its own business by infusing sporting principles and associating with key sporting events such as the recent BMW Malaysian Open 2014 and Maybank Malaysian Open 2014.

“In sports, as in business, precision is key, as is teamwork, determination, passion and the desire to succeed. In this competitive environment, it is important to always bring out your ’A’ game to stay on top,” said Peter Wee, Chief Operating Officer of Ricoh (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

With the current digital revolution, competition across all industries is rife. However, companies today can find confidence and assurance in improving productivity and cost efficiency by relying on credible partners to remain competitive in the business. Ricoh, for example, is able to help companies achieve that by being a total office, IT and business solutions provider.

“We recognise the need to evolve to not only supplement change, but to anticipate it in advance in order to fulfil our mission in enhancing user experience, as well as to increase workflow and productivity through all platforms available,” said Mr. Wee. “Such can be seen in our IT solutions and Managed Document Services (MDS) that all work within a strategic infrastructure by optimising information and providing a seamless transaction between communication, document processes and managing change all through an integrated cloud system”.

“We also continuously introduce more products, services, and solutions to offer truly holistic communications systems and surveillance solutions. This year, we will aggressively introduce the company’s new line of products such as the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB), the Unified Communication Systems (UCS) series, as well as our new and improved Ultra Short Throw Projector. These products are poised to set the benchmark in a new age of visual communication, transfer of information, networking and more – essentially saving time and cost,” he added.

Change’, we will ‘imagine’ and create innovative technology and services to bring great ‘change’ to your business – making Ricoh your key business partner,” Mr. Wee commented.
