This document provides an overview of a project delivered by Ricoh Europe to standardize and optimize the printing infrastructure of a large multinational chemicals company. The key objectives of the project were to standardize the company's printing processes, consolidate their fleet of 9,000 printers down to 4,100, and implement centralized management. The project was completed over an 18 month period and involved deploying new print management software, security solutions, and hardware across 160 sites in 37 countries on 6 continents. The project helped reduce printing costs and provided a more streamlined printing experience for the customer's 36,000 employees.

10. Project Introduction
As part of Ricoh Europe's cost efficiencies transformation programme, a new shared service centre
was commissioned in Gdansk, Poland. As part of this project we were tasked to deliver new
technologies for new ways of working, process remapping for the relocation of services including
human resource activities.
The new office was required to function like an EMEA Head Office, utilising technology to ensure
teams from across EMEA would continue to work closely together as if they were all in one building.
The implementation of these new technologies was an unchartered road for our organisation and
thus the business case against the technology to be implemented was critical. The use of story
boards and cost benefits scenarios were key in working closely with the stake holders to allow the
best decision for the technology to be used and how it would fit within the office build timelines.
Regular meetings with senior stake holders involved updating the business case moving from
forecast to actual financials as we engaged with all partners and the scope matured.
There were a number of paths running in parallel critical to each other's success, the building
handover prior to go-live was only 2 weeks which gave us a very narrow window to implement the
technology stream. We made the decision to stage infrastructure off site allowing a more simpler
"Rack and Stack" approach closer to go-live.

11. New Technologies
Limited network reticulation was mandated to reduce Capital Expenditure costs. This
meant suitable wireless technologies were to be deployed which would allow all
users to work anywhere within the floor
Soft Phone technology deployed, requirement for Voice Over IP Calls to be
taken/made without any interruption whilst roaming across the floor.
Secure video conferencing technologies for management and users. Video
Conferencing (UCS and Telepresence) and WebEx were the prime source for C-
Level management communications and Internet lines had to be sized accordingly.
Given the business confidentiality of this kind of project meant that traditional
processes could not be used and workarounds had to be implemented to cater for
the new technology requirements and a limited scope of team members.
Interactive whiteboards allowing users to fully interact and collaborate .
Ensuring all Collaboration tools would work irrespective of whether you were in the
office or at home.

What makes our projects successful?

2. Transformation Objectives are the

3. Scope is variable, with innovation

4. Success is assessed based on satisfaction,

5. Constant alignment with the evolving business
