This is an administrative & billing office in a suburb of Dallas, TX, & another sign that IKON personnel are replacing RBS personnel in key functions. If the Dallas IKON office isn't adding admin/billing personnel, I can't imagine how overworked and overwhelmed these departments at IKON are about to become.

Ricoh Americas Corp., which sells and provides services for imaging equipment such as printers and copiers, plans to close an Irving location, according to a filing with the Texas Workforce Commission.

Some 53 people will be affected by the June 4 shutdown, according to the April 2 letter to the agency.

The letter did not disclose a reason for the closure of the office. Comment wasn't immediately available Wednesday from the West Caldwell, N.J. unit of Japan's Ricoh Co.

According to the corporate data service Hoover's, Ricoh Co. had a total of 110,000 employees and $21.5 billion in revenue last year.

Absolutely, and what is worse is as the billing, delveries are not being handled what will the customer experience going to look like?

Dallas IKON has not hired on anyone in those roles for sometime in fact they have reduced the amount of people doing those functions.

Next will be service, and hopefully they will keep most of the techs. IKON has already had several rounds of layoffs in the service department and Canon and the other dealers for Canon have ravaged the best techs they had anyway.

Most of the production guys now are from Ricoh or were from the Ricoh tech side of IKON.

Interesting,

I sell RICOH, I like RICOH products, however IKON can't turn a profit and never will, so if you can't turn a profit...... how are underestimating IKON's ability to run a business. Heck, anyone can LOSE money! It's the ability to turn a profit that seperates the men from the boys.
