Ricoh Americas Earns Spot on the 2013 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators Across the U.S.

Tuesday 17. September 2013 - Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced that it made this year's InformationWeek 500 - a list of the top technology innovators in the U.S. Ricoh was included in the top 250 for the second year in a row. The annual list was revealed last night at the InformationWeek 500 Conference.

“The theme of this year’s InformationWeek 500 is digital business. It’s a movement, rooted in data analytics, mobile computing, social networking and other customer-focused technologies that are turning companies and industries on their ear,” said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. “Every enterprise is now a digital business — or needs to become one fast. The organizations in our ranking are leading the way.”
Ricoh outlined the development and implementation of its internal corporate intranet in its InformationWeek 500 nomination. The company’s intranet enables Facebook- and Twitter-like collaboration around Ricoh’s people, activities and content that in the past was static and one-sided, speeding up execution and increasing employee productivity. Just as social computing has revolutionized human interaction, Ricoh’s intranet is empowering employees to improve execution in critical business functions using tools that most employees use in their personal life.
“In today’s dynamically changing environment, we are dedicated to helping our customers solve the toughest business challenges,” said Tracey Rothenberger, EVP and COO, Ricoh Americas Corporation. “This recognition validates that commitment and our continued leadership.”
