Enable your IT to power today's changing workforce
The IT functions with the greatest potential for successfully reducing costs through outsourcing are help desk, desktop support, network operations, and data center operations.*

Identity access management: Get a well-managed active directory
Prevent network sprawl with monitoring and management.
With more and more businesses moving towards remote employees and utilizing mobile technology, you need to ensure your workers are connected no matter where they are. By establishing a reliable mobile workforce strategy you can help increase productivity, grow sales or membership, and improve customer retention and satisfaction.
However, with an increase in mobile workers comes new security, privacy and usage challenges. Instead of adding to your IT team's existing full plate or sending your budget through the roof with mobile IT applications and security packages, unload the burden of remote connectivity with a partner with the right experience, tools, and resources to help your workers stay productive from wherever they find themselves.
Give your employees access to the data they need to get the job done from wherever they’re working while securely locking down the data they don’t need.
Our identity access management approach includes multi-factor authentication across applications, VPNs, and endpoints. It also includes single-sign-on that provides one-click access to both cloud and on-premises apps, eliminating password sprawl and the management of your identity access directory to ensure approved users and devices are able to connect and communicate safely and securely on the network.
Virtual desktops: Easily access your applications
And make working from anywhere a possibility.
In addition to a well managed mobile workforce strategy and identity access, many companies today are turning toward virtual desktops to keep up with the needs of the modern office.
As with any computing environment, how virtual desktops is planned, installed and managed is critical to the success of the application. Ricoh can offer your business the opportunity to partner with specific experience delivering virtual desktops and can help implement the specific requirements virtual desktops demands when it comes to storage, networking and user management.
We can help you use virtual desktops to its full potential with correct implementation and management.
Give your employees the resources to be more agile and productive in any business situation with the resources they need at their fingertips. Benefits of virtual desktops include:
Mobility
Employees can take advantage of BYOD (bring your own device) and securely access their virtual desktops from a smartphone, iPad, laptop or home computer.
Security
Your data never leaves the security of the data center. If a device is compromised or lost, the system admin can simply suspend the account and the data remains secured in the data center.
Availability
Power outages and hardware issues no longer put a stop to productivity, end users can simply log in from home, a secondary office site, or even the coffee shop down the street.
Agility
Deploy computing needs and resources exactly when they are needed to quickly react to changes in the market and spikes in one department or another.
Performance
Make upgrades to devices on the fly with a virtual desktop environment. Changing hard drive, CPU or RAM can be done easily and require little more than a reboot for end users.
