Ricoh Named as Leader in Analyst Firm’s Magic Quadrant for Multifunction Products and Printers

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ — Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions and services, today announced that Gartner placed Ricoh as a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for multifunction products (MFPs) and printers worldwide (1). Gartner’s Magic Quadrant serves as a guide for midsize to large organizations to identify and evaluate technology providers that can match their global footprint, become their partners in helping them reduce costs and gain control of their printer fleets and help them reduce the environmental impact of the organization’s print environment.

According to Gartner, “Leaders are the most capable in providing MFPs (including SMFPs), printers and the associated printing solutions and services, regardless of customer location. Providers in the Leaders quadrant offer the most extensive product portfolio relative to their peers, and they have the broad channel capability to deliver the products to customers where they want to procure them. Thus, Leaders hold consistently high market share worldwide and are capable of delivering consistent service levels in the regions where Gartner customers are located. Leaders tend to have the deepest global capability and the inventiveness and resources, skills and vision to deliver superior levels of support to existing and future customers globally. Leaders have a proven track record of channeling R&D initiatives into products and solutions that customers need.”

“We believe Ricoh’s recognition by Gartner as a Leader in the 2010 MFP Magic Quadrant further demonstrates the strength of our hardware, software and services offerings, along with our ability to work to meet our customers’ needs no matter where they are located throughout the globe,” said Shun Sato, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. “A key component of Gartner’s evaluation includes direct feedback from interviews with customers, making this acknowledgment even more meaningful.”

Ricoh’s commitment to innovation is demonstrated by its significant investment of resources for research and development, all of which aim to support the changing nature of print.  Additionally, the company has a history of environmental contentiousness, and was recognized at the 2010 World Economic Forum as having strong sustainable business practices and products in the electronics business.
