With this transition complete & the amount of IBM intelligence they have on board, wouldn't it make complete sense for Ricoh to acquire Lexmark, a former subsidiary of IBM?
Ricoh seems to be obsessed with the printed page, unlike HP & Xerox who have acquired professional services firms to increase their reach in the I.T. space.

Of course they are focused on the printed page!.
THe revenue streams are huge & the industry is still scratching the surface.

TX:
Ricoh is a company that puts ink on paper
I think that if you look at the non-hardware solutions that Ricoh now offers there are many, many that don't involve the printed page. Indeed many of the solutions involve Capture and Storage of printed pages; management of those documents after they're stored and the processing of data streams, be they from computer (laptop, desktop and larger systems), into forms or variable data printing. The printed page is NOT dead but businesses are discovering that they are difficult to manage once they are printed.
but how much of that is "me too" to protect the base from xerox or someone else offering those solutions... the document solutions might keep the fox out of the hen house for a while. Consider that one of their core beliefs is that business is conducted through documents, so they have an array of document solutions - where IT companies think in terms of managing data not documents. From a resource perspective, imagine how cumbersome erp software would be if it was document driven rather than data driven.
