Lifecycle Management: The Smarter, Greener, Safer Way to Manage Technology

Technology and your people are the backbone of every modern organisation. From laptops desktops, meeting rooms to mobile devices, employees rely on IT every day to connect, collaborate, and deliver results. Yet for many businesses, securely and consistently managing the lifecycle of these devices, from procurement to retirement, remains a challenge.

Retired assets, security risks at end-of-life, and growing e-waste are common pain points for New Zealand organisations alongside the increasing drive to sustainability. The result? Higher costs, increased risk, and frustrated employees.

That’s why Ricoh New Zealand’s Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) and Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions are designed to add security take the complexity out of device management, while helping businesses achieve their security, productivity, and sustainability goals.

The Device Journey – Simplified

Ricoh’s Device Lifecycle Management solution manages your devices across their entire lifecycle:

• 

  Procure – Get the right devices matched to your business and user’s needs, releasing capital.

• 

  Deploy – Ricoh securely configures, delivers, and sets up devices, so they’re ready for your team on day one.

• 

  Manage – Proactive support, updates, and monitoring ensure devices are always running at peak performance.

• 

  Retire – Certified and documented data erasure protects sensitive information when devices reach end-of-life.

• 

  Recycle – Devices are dismantled with up to 98% of materials recovered and recycled through Ricoh’s certified recycling partners.

It’s a seamless, end-to-end service designed to remove the operational burden from your IT team and eliminate CapEx from your business whilst adding security and sustainability.

Security Beyond the Device

In today’s environment, data is one of your most valuable assets, and one of your biggest risks. The lifecycle of a device doesn’t end when it leaves your desk. Without consistent certified retirement processes, it could leave with your data on the device.

Ricoh’s Device Lifecycle Management solution puts security at the core:

• 

  Devices are securely wiped using certified data erasure methods.

• 

  Full reporting and compliance documentation is provided.

• 

  IT leaders gain peace of mind knowing their organisation is protected from data breaches.

The result? Confidence that every stage of the device journey is covered, with no hidden risks left behind.

Building a More Sustainable Future

Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. In New Zealand, businesses are increasingly focused on reducing their environmental impact, aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, and meeting customer expectations for sustainable operations.

Ricoh is proud to lead in this space. By partnering with certified e-waste recyclers, Ricoh ensures devices are responsibly processed at the end of their lifecycle.

• 98% of device materials recovered and recycled
• Plastics, metals, and components repurposed for future use
• Landfill waste significantly reduced

For Ricoh customers, this means managing devices responsibly isn’t just good for the planet, it’s good for business reputation too.

Empowering End-Users with the Right Technology

Beyond security and sustainability, Ricoh’s Device Lifecycle Management solution and DaaS models are designed to empower employees with the technology they need, when they need it.
