Information is at the core of law firms' work. Unfortunately, in many firms, collaboration and communication are slowed by outdated tools, workflow and processes. From lack of standardization in processes leaving attorneys constantly redefining specifications to issues as seemingly simple as inefficient meetings, many firms are missing out on cost savings and efficiency gains. Ricoh's solutions on display at ILTACON take direct aim at these pain points:
- Meeting Room Services from Ricoh provides end-to-end support to help optimize how one of your firm's most important assets, meeting space, is utilized. From how users reserve the room to how they use it once occupied – including communications technologies such as video conferencing, projectors and Interactive Whiteboards to drive an engaging, interactive, informative experience – Meeting Room Services can help drive collaboration to new heights.
- Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) empower attorneys and staff to share critical information swiftly and securely regardless of geographic location. No matter where an attorney's work takes them, they can stay up to date with access to the same visuals their colleagues are seeing in meetings. RICOH IWBs, which feature solutions ranging from 21.5 to 84.0 inches, can connect to dozens of devices at a time to keep information flowing.
- RICOH eDiscovery On Demand is a newly unveiled user-driven, cloud-hosted eDiscovery solution, which helps standardize on best practices for eDiscovery throughout an organization. Customizable, easy-to-use forms put the most powerful industry solutions at users' fingertips for a fraction of the cost, helping put into place efficient, effective, more automated workflows. In addition to making today's huge data volumes easier to handle, RICOH eDiscovery On Demand makes checking job status quick and easy, as opposed to in the past which often required pulling information from disparate sources. This secured solution leverages the Microsoft Azure Cloud.

"For that reason, we've focused our portfolio, including the newly unveiled RICOH eDiscovery On Demand, on making those three necessities simple and efficient by leveraging the capabilities the cloud has to offer.
