OREANDA-NEWS. October 3, 2012. Ricoh Australia has acquired the IT services business of IMC Communications effective 1 October, bolstering its strategy to be a complete technology services-based organisation.

 18 years to some of Australia’s largest companies including Network Ten, Bankwest, SBS, Lloyds International and Amalgamated Holdings.

 Les Richardson, Managing Director, Ricoh Australia, said the business acquisition of such a well-respected company adds managed IT services to Ricoh’s existing capability of Managed Document Services (MDS).

 “We have positioned ourselves as a services-focused provider, and this acquisition strengthens our offering significantly,” said Mr Richardson.

 Matt Dixon comes over from IMC Communications and will head up the new Ricoh Managed IT Services Division of Ricoh Australia as its National Manager, IT Services Group.

 “It is an exciting opportunity for IMC Communications to become part of a truly global and visionary organisation, said Dixon. “We bring high-level expertise and experience in network management and systems integration to a company renowned for its technology, customer service and innovation.

 “We believe our combined offering to the market will be well received,” said Dixon.
