Empower your people
Let’s start with digital transformation. This area is becoming even more important to consider as our workplaces themselves change from inside the office to online at home.
It’s important to take a people-first approach to digital transformation, as success relies on a detailed understanding of how your people are working with technology and within the space around them.
It’s highly recommended that you bring in a specialist partner to address this area. Ricoh work with you to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, then implement solutions that facilitate modern ways work of working – even for agile and remote practices.
Businesses up and down the country are facing the same common problem: they have people working from home who do not have everything they need, and they can’t go to the office to get it.
Luckily there’s a solution: Ricoh’s eShop. This online business solution offers complete support for home working, and will deliver anything from monitor stands and keyboards, to laptops with everything they need pre-installed and ready to go.
All these devices and technologies can also be provided as a service on a per user, per month basis. So, you only pay for you what you need.
Just like in the office, effective collaboration is key to maintaining productivity. So, for remote working, you need to create that capability through technology. But not many businesses have a plan in place to provide the tools required.
One digital asset that will become integral to your employee’s day-to-day will be the software you use for video conferencing. It’s never been more important to stay visually connected, so you need to ensure you choose a provider that is reliable and up to the task, and that your people know how to use it. Popular choices among businesses are Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex and Skype for Business.
We work with a variety of partners, take a look at our Communication Services article to learn more about how you can help your teams connect and collaborate.
It used to be so simple: one office, one set of printers. But now everyone is remote, yet they still have important contracts, orders, customer communications and reports to print. Ricoh Hybrid Mail is here to help.
It manages the wide range of ad-hoc documentation from multiple users across your business, safely and securely fulfilling print orders at scale. And everything is done centrally, so you won’t need to provide local print devices to a multitude of households. One simple software installation enables your entire workforce to individually print and mail.
Need to issue large volumes of printed material to a disparate audience? Try Ricoh’s Print&Share solution.
It enables you to create many different versions of the same document, adding different logos, Ts&Cs and other variables before they’re sent out.
It’s cost effective too, automating customisations and using the full potential of your print hardware, and simplifying distribution via email, print, fax or digital formats – all with a single click.
If you have the right technology and workflows in place, you can support agile and remote workers as well as if they were in the office. So, with that in mind, you should consider introducing a professional documentation management solution.
One of the key areas your people will need support with while remote working is with scanning documents. And your business will want to ensure that any documents are stored securely.
Moving from paper-based, more traditional ways of working to digitised methods is something businesses have been undertaking for some time. If you haven’t fully embraced this process, you may find remote working exacerbates potential problems.
As your people access your data, create new information, and move existing documentation around from multiple access points, you will need to ensure now more than ever that you have systems in place to make this as seamless and secure as possible.
