legal IT experts believe organizations including digital copiers in discovery requests must understand that they store data differently than computers. Furthermore, since they are not subject to retention schedules, some requests may yield little evidence. While the news provider reports including a digital copier in a discovery request can be successful, relying on it as a primary source of evidence is not advisable. This is especially true as many organizations have started using software designed

In Canada, I have the strong impression that GE is trying to get out of the "small ticket" copier leasing business. Just last month, we did a Balance of Payments on a GE lease with a differnet leasing vendor (MCAP). Once we were funded, we gave the customer a cheque. The customer promptly paid GE. GE came back this week asking for a $400.00 Premium fee for early contract cancellation. The customer refuses to pay it. As this fee was not documented anywhere that we can find in the original lease

This makes sense. When Ricoh Canada announced that it had integrated of all of IKON Canada's assets and liabilities in August, Ricoh Canada said that it was the first step in a worldwide integration of the IKON channel and the IKON brand, so the US is a logical next step. I can't say if the rumors regarding the integration of the Savin and/or Lanier brands , but from a supply chain perspective, it makes more sense to me to only operate and supply on brand.

It was announced on Friday (10/1/10) that IKON will fold into RBS and that the IKON name will be eliminated, with additional layoffs on the horizon. This could be the first in a series of moves to place an even heavier focus on Direct operations, which could be followed by the Lanier or Savin brand also being eliminated by 4/1/11. Has anyone else heard that the IKON name is being eliminated and RBS will be the sole 'Direct' channel?

Ricoh914 · 10/2/107:48 PM

I think the IKON name will remain until 4-1-2011. At that point it should be just Ricoh no IKON. Personally I feel it is definatly time to be intergrated.

Thanks but I was hoping to find out the reason why the Xerox 5675 is so much cheaper than the Xerox 5775 - Is it higher volume capacity?

Reply

GIntel · 10/7/1012:41 PM

The big difference between the two is the 5675 is discontinued and the 5775 is active. Same duty cycle and paper capacity with some controller changes. They are offered in different configurations so it could be you are comparing different configurations, but I would bet that whoever is selling the 5675 is just motivated to get the old model out the door.
