Ricoh
Ricoh is one of the world’s leading printer manufacturers. In this example, Ricoh attempt to convey how they can help reduce print running costs. Businesses sometimes put ink jets on each desk as this is convenient for employees, and ensures confidentiality. Networked laser printers are much cheaper to run, but typically don’t provide the same level of confidentiality or convenience.
Ricoh solve these problems by ‘locking’ print jobs until owners go to the printer, and allowing print jobs to ‘follow’ the owners to any printer – so they are just as convenient and easy to use as having printers on each desk. The reworking of this short PowerPoint segment demonstrates how to present ideas visually for maximum impact.

Joe McGuinness, Framework FinancialThe finished presentation was impressive and professional looking. m62 replaced the text with graphics, which really helped to emphasise our message. It really works well to present now. We have had nothing but positive feedback, and the presentation has helped us to win several bids.
