Government of Canada partners with Ricoh

January 23, 2020

Ricoh entered into a six-year agreement to improve the delivery of printing technology and services to the Canadian Government.

The Government of Canada has named Ricoh Canada Inc. one of three managed print services (MPS) providers selected as part of a program to significantly streamline the federal procurement process to purchase and manage printing technology and services. (CNW Group/Ricoh Canada Inc.)

The agreement is part of a Government of Canada initiative to change how it purchases and manages its office printing equipment and services to enhance security, improve user productivity, encourage greener practices and equip the public service with the latest technologies they need as part of a comprehensive managed print services programme. The process provides a ready-made statement of work framework for governmental departments to engage with approved vendors to design a managed print and content solution tailored to their specific needs.  

The agreement grants the Government of Canada access to Ricoh Intelligent Devices equipped with Ricoh Always Current Technology, which makes regular updates to devices and other applications available on demand, and as needed. With Ricoh Always Current Technology, users can download and install new features and upgrades directly to their device as they become available and have the flexibility to add only the applications they need, all while keeping data secured and protected.

The Government of Canada encouraged a collaborative procurement process during which Ricoh was an active, leading voice that engaged with key decision makers to better understand their goals and vision, Ricoh explained. It was evident that environmental sustainability was a major aspect of the Government’s evaluation of potential partners.

“The Government of Canada had a vision to break down barriers to obtaining optimised print technologies and services, and we were honoured to be invited to collaborate throughout the process, and ultimately partner for future successes,” said Glenn Laverty, President and CEO of Ricoh Canada, Inc. and Senior Vice President, Strategy Office, Ricoh North America. “The end-to-end, tailored, holistic approach that has driven success in so many Ricoh partnerships is now an integral part of the government procurement process. If a department wants to take advantage of an expertly designed, implemented and maintained MPS engagement, they now have a strong baseline level of services. The framework is already in place, and starting the conversation is easier than ever before.”
