In today’s fast-paced business environment, managing IT and print devices goes far beyond simply owning hardware. Organisations face challenges around security, sustainability, operational flexibility, and cost control. Ricoh NZ’s Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) addresses all of these, providing a complete solution that ensures your technology works for your business, not the other way around.

Here’s why Ricoh DaaS is the right choice for modern organisations:


1. Predictable Costs

Budgeting for IT can be challenging when hardware, software, and support costs are unpredictable. Ricoh DaaS converts capital expenditure into a single, predictable operational cost. This subscription-based model includes hardware, software, maintenance, and support, reducing unexpected expenses while freeing finance and operations teams to focus on strategic priorities.


2. Operational Flexibility

Business needs evolve constantly. Ricoh DaaS provides the flexibility to scale your device fleet up or down, expand to new locations, or adjust workflows without disruption. This ensures your technology infrastructure can adapt quickly to organisational changes, enabling your teams to remain productive and responsive in dynamic business environments.


3. Future-Ready Technology

Technology evolves quickly, and staying ahead is critical for competitive advantage. Ricoh DaaS ensures your devices are always current, aligned with your business goals, and ready to support growth. Whether you need to introduce new technology, adapt to changing business requirements, or integrate emerging workflows, Ricoh DaaS provides a flexible, scalable, and secure technology ecosystem that keeps your organisation ahead of the curve.

4. Operational Efficiency

Optimised devices and managed services improve workflow efficiency, reduce downtime, and minimise disruptions. With Ricoh DaaS, your teams spend less time managing technology and more time focusing on delivering results for your organisation. The combination of proactive monitoring and expert service ensures that devices are always ready to perform at their best.


5. Certified Data Security

Data security is a critical concern for every business. Ricoh DaaS ensures all devices, whether being redeployed or decommissioned, undergo certified data erasure processes. This protects sensitive information, reduces compliance risk, and gives you complete peace of mind. All erasure processes are fully documented, providing a verifiable audit trail that supports regulatory compliance and strengthens stakeholder confidence.


6. Proactive Support and Maintenance

Ricoh DaaS combines remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and expert support to ensure devices perform optimally at all times. Our proactive approach minimises downtime, extends device life, and eliminates the burden of day-to-day device management for your teams. From deployment to maintenance and responsible end-of-life disposal, Ricoh manages every stage so your staff can focus on business-critical work.


7. Sustainable Device Management

Ricoh DaaS integrates with our Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) service to ensure devices are managed responsibly throughout their lifecycle. End-of-life devices are securely collected, refurbished for reuse, or recycled through certified programmes. Since the inception of the service, several devices have been processed into reusable materials. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also supports a circular IT economy, helping your organisation demonstrate genuine sustainability outcomes.

8. Measurable Environmental Impact

Ricoh DaaS delivers tangible and verifiable sustainability outcomes. By refurbishing and recycling thousands of devices, organisations reduce landfill contributions and lower their overall environmental footprint. In addition, Ricoh NZ is Toitū Net CarbonZero certified, ensuring that environmental efforts are measured against globally recognised standards. This gives your business confidence that its sustainability actions are both meaningful and auditable.
