Ricoh Europe has been named a leader in Managed Workflow Services for Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (CEMA) by the IDC MarketScape.

The IDC MarketScape: Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa Managed Workflow Services, 2015, focuses on managed workflow services, the most mature type of MPDS. This encompasses an evolution to a set of professional and managed services that automate and optimise vertical and horizontal document-intensive workflows and business processes.

The research evaluated vendor offerings through extensive business briefings and demonstrations, as well as responses from in-depth interviews with customers throughout the CEMA region.

“We’re delighted to be named as a leader in this IDC MarketScape report, which is a testament to our commitment to continually evolving our services-led approach,” said David Mills, CEO, Ricoh Europe. “Key to this success is working closely with customers to ensure the solutions we offer remain relevant, fit for purpose and adaptable to meet future workstyle innovations.”

This structure simplifies Ricoh’s range of technology, software and services offerings into a matrix that can be quickly applied to vertical markets and specific customer requirements to create customised solutions.
