Ricoh Europe has urged European businesses to more closely integrate mobile printing strategies into their overall mobility plans.

The advice follows a recent study by Quocirca which shows that almost 60% of businesses agree that employees would like to print from mobile devices, yet just 5% of organisations have the facility available.



Research by the Economist Intelligence Unit, sponsored by Ricoh, which included senior Irish executives, also reported that the workplace is set to become even more ‘virtual’ by 2020.

48% of respondents also believed that the majority of employees would work from home in the future, rather than a traditional office environment.

More than half also predict employees will procure and administer their own devices and applications, rather than the central IT function.

Alan Mason, managing director, Ricoh Ireland said: “For businesses to remain competitive, it’s crucial they support their employees to work in a more mobile, flexible way.

“This includes providing employees with the ability to access and print important business documents whether they are in their regular place of work, in another office, or on the move.

“By adopting a document management strategy that enables employees to maximise knowledge sharing and collaboration, businesses will benefit from real time decision making, meaning they can respond to customer and market needs more quickly and effectively.”
