Ricoh Smart Integration

Turn your MFP into a productivity powerhouse - RICOH Smart Integration

 

Your Ricoh copier can do a whole lot more than copy. It can help you improve productivity by simplifying and automating common document workflow tasks. If you’ve ever had to scan, email, download, convert, save to a folder, upload or organize files, you know how time consuming these manual tasks can be. With RICOH Smart Integration, you can quickly route your documents to the right place, in the right format and with the right file name and enjoy simplified printing from smartphones and tablets.

It’s easy to get started: just choose one of the RICOH Smart Integration solutions to use with your multifunction printer (MFP), and you’ll be working smarter within minutes.

Why Smart Integration?

Improve productivity by automating mundane manual tasks

It’s affordable — no new hardware, software, servers, IT support or maintenance required

It’s easy to get started — Smart Integration solutions are easy to add to RICOH Intelligent MFPs and many other models.

Get files to the right place

No matter where you need your files to go, Smart Integration helps you get them there efficiently. Email a delivery receipt to multiple people. Send your documents to a local folder, a cloud account (such as Box™, Dropbox™ or Google Drive™) or SharePoint®. Store a customer record in two systems. With automated scanning and routing processes, the manual and time-consuming steps typically needed to complete these tasks are simplified and connected so that you can send your documents to the right destination with the push of a button.

… in the right format

Once you scan a document, it often needs to be converted to an editable, searchable format so that it’s usable. Smart Integration takes care of this for you by converting hardcopy documents to editable, searchable formats with optical character recognition (OCR). Scanned documents can be converted to various file formats — including Word®, Excel®, PDF and PDF-A.

… with the right file name

Converted documents are only useful if you can find them later. With Smart Integration, you can organize documents with consistent folder and file naming conventions, as well as document metadata, making it easy to find documents when you need them.

Keep staff productive

If your staff spends too much time on mundane, manual document workflow tasks, it’s time for your multifunction printer to work harder on their behalf. With automation, you can free up their time for other important projects that better serve the needs of your business and your customers.
