Every story has a beginning. The story of RDS dates back many years to Gustavo Hermida's successful management of Ricoh's New York operations. Argentine Gustavo Hermida tells Ricoh Family how he became top salesman for Ricoh Corporation in New York.
Gustavo Hermida is the founder and CEO of RDSTeam.com (RDS) Team. RDS Team is the premier source for multifunction copiers, printers, fax machines and business solutions including Cloud computing, networking solutions, document management, and IT solutions among other technological concerns to businesses both large and small.
Printers have been around for quite some time and every business has at least one. They are practically a standard piece of office equipment in every home as well. They are so common now, perhaps we should refer to them as an everyday electronic.
There are a number of different document-heavy industries, and if your business spends a significant amount of money printing and copying, you need to learn of ways to save money on printing. The setup of your office and the investment of various tools has the ability to impact your bottom line in a positive way.
For most businesses, the copier is the workhorse of the office. If the copier is out of operation for any extended period then some office functions simply stop. This is especially true if your office is using a multi-functional machine that handles the office printing, faxing and copying needs.
Setting up an office with equipment is an expensive proposition, but partnering with the right equipment supplier can make it easier and more affordable than you may think. There are several ways of economizing when outfitting your office with printers, while at the same time getting reliable, eco-friendly equipment.
Which is better for business, the laser printer or the ink jet printer? The debate has raged for some time. Initial costs: The basic laser printer and the basic ink jet printer cost about the same (the prices for laser printers have come way down over the last few years). However, at the basic level, only the ink jet printer can print color. Laser printers can be purchased for around $130. You can buy an inkjet for as little as $60 or $70.
Imaging equipment is a universal necessity among businesses. Whether it’s a simple printer, or a fancy MFP, every business needs a device to print professional-looking documents. The list of factors involved in gaining the right piece of imaging equipment is long. Do you need color, or will monochrome do? How fast do you need the document ready? How much are you willing to invest? One other important factor is whether a refurbished piece of equipment might be beneficial to your company.
Although color certainly offers its advantages, monochrome printing dominates many office environments for very practical reasons. Oftentimes, monochrome printing is simply all that is needed, due to business requirements or budgetary constraints. Knowing the benefits of monochrome printing can help you save time and money.
There is no reason not to embrace the technological advances of cloud-based services, specifically in your IT network. For example, your business can utilize these cloud services to gain an edge against the competition, and you can do it without worrying about the maintenance yourself.
Going green can mean a lot of different things for a lot of different businesses. Many think that going green is simply flipping a light switch, or tossing a plastic bottle into a blue bin. However, the process of going green at the business level is actually multi-faceted and often includes Managed Print Services (MPS). Some simple changes to your printing systems can help you save the environment, as well as some extra cash. Managed Print Services can aid your business at being more eco-friendly.
Every business needs a reliable phone system. Phone systems do more than allow you to make and receive important calls. They offer an identity for your business and convey a sense of professionalism.
When people think of color printing, they often associate it with high costs and inefficiency. However, thanks to recent advancements in printing technologies, color printing is now more affordable than ever. When you consider the newfound affordability of color printing with its benefits, you’ll likely find that it would be an excellent part of your printing environment.
Document management is incredibly useful for businesses. Digitizing the paper-driven processes in your workflow will help save time, resources, and energy—al of which result in saved money. Furthermore, a document management system will simplify workflows that have become cumbersome and ineffective.
When it comes to being environmentally friendly, there’s often an assumption that such efforts require huge payouts. However, leasing offers unique opportunities to “go green” while actually saving money. At RDS, all of our printers are eco-friendly and are designed to maximize your business’s efficiency.
