São Paulo, Brazil, May 8, 2025- Ricoh LATAM announced today the acquisition of Go2neXt, a Brazilian company recognized for its expertise in managed technology services and the creation of intelligent and collaborative spaces. Go2neXt will continue to operate under its current name as a Ricoh group company.

Founded in 2011, Go2neXt operates throughout Brazil and is responsible for projects in other Latin American countries. Based on a consultative vision of its clients' business challenges, Go2neXt's team of experts designs, implements and manages digital innovation projects. The goal is to offer the most advanced user experience to the company's customers and employees, making the concept of “Workplace Experience” a reality.

Behind this result is a sophisticated range of services and technology organized in layers that are completely transparent to the customer; this includes advanced audio solutions, digital signage and lighting systems. In addition, the technology layers are based on collaboration platforms, cybersecurity solutions and a comprehensive network, computing and communications infrastructure that can be located on-premises or distributed across multiple clouds.

This milestone reaffirms Ricoh LATAM's commitment to customers in the region through the ongoing evolution of its portfolio and talent, seeking to generate exceptional technological experiences in the workplace and automating processes that increase business productivity.

Tokyo, April 30th, 2025 – Ricoh announced it has been awarded Dell Technologies Partner Program Titanium Black status for 2025. Titanium Black is the highest status within the Dell Technologies Partner Program. This elite group of Dell's most strategic partners is embracing the AI revolution and supporting customers' digital transformation journeys.

«We are delighted to have been awarded this prestigious status by Dell Technologies», said Alberto Mariani, Chief Digital Investment Officer at Ricoh Europe.

This accreditation further reinforces our strong growth across key areas such as data center, storage, and AI, as well as our continued commitment to innovation and delivering customer-centric solutions.

Mexico City, Mexico, April 21st, 2025 – Deloitte's Global Human Capital Trends 2025 survey revealed that the main drivers for investing in new technologies are enabling the workforce to do more and do it faster and reducing costs. However, the most strategic motives identified by respondents include enabling collaboration between people and machines to generate joint value, facilitating the creation of new types of value by the workforce, and improving employee well-being.

In this new scenario, edge technologies for real-time data and agile decisions, collaborative tools that strengthen hybrid work, increased investment in security to protect data in distributed environments, and solutions that optimize resources and increase operational efficiency by automating processes.

These dynamics are redefining the role of the CEO, who today leads not only technology adoption, but also the cultural evolution of his or her organization, from the office to a digital ecosystem. Modernizing workspaces is no longer an option, but a strategy to increase productivity, attract talent, and respond with agility to market changes. Turning the workplace into a center of experience has a direct impact on the competitiveness of companies in an increasingly challenging environment.

Ricoh LATAM proposes a comprehensive vision to accompany organizations in their adaptation to the new work environment. The company responds to these four key trends with a unique approach that combines technology, strategy, and experience: it promotes the use of real-time data through Edge solutions to improve decision-making; it strengthens hybrid work with tools that integrate digital collaboration; it implements automation systems that optimize resources and operational processes. It also develops security solutions adapted to distributed environments. This proposal is not limited to implementing technology but seeks to transform the employee experience as an axis for improving productivity and competitiveness in the region's companies.

In Latin America, where economic growth has been limited with an average of only 2% in the last decade, according to the IMF, the workplace takes on a strategic role. Modernizing work environments has a direct impact on three key fronts: it improves productivity, responds to changes in employment dynamics and allows the integration of technologies that accelerate digital transformation. In this context, the design of the workspace ceases to be operational and becomes a factor of regional competitiveness.

In this context, Ricoh LATAM launches an innovative proposal of technological solutions and managed services to create more agile and connected work environments, transforming the traditional office into a digital space adapted to the challenges of today. This value proposition was presented at the Ricoh Summit 2025, an annual event that brings together around 500 people from 14 Latin American countries, along with strategic allies such as Ingram Micro, Crestron, Kramer, Zebra, Intcomex, LG, Biamp, Wesco | Anixter, and many more technology leaders.

“Today, companies face the great challenge of redesigning their work environments to respond to a new reality: more demanding employees, more complex hybrid models, and a constant pressure to increase productivity. Transforming the workplace is no longer an option, it is a strategic decision that directly impacts the well-being of talent, operational efficiency, and business competitiveness. At Ricoh LATAM, we are leading this change, accompanying organizations co-creating solutions that integrate people, processes, and technology in a sustainable and scalable way.”, explained Diego Imperio, President and CEO of Ricoh LATAM.

Ricoh Workplace Security: Protection and Efficiency for the Workplace of the Future

Organizations need solutions that enable them to ensure operational continuity without compromising security. This prompted Ricoh to design a security model specifically for the modern workplace: flexible, integrated and people centric. Workplace Security was created in response to the challenges companies face when managing physical and digital assets in hybrid environments, and as part of a broader vision that links technology, protection and productivity in a single ecosystem.

One of the most notable launches during the event was Ricoh Workplace Security, an end-to-end solution developed in direct response to the new challenges of the modern work environment. In a context where organizations operate in hybrid models, with distributed information flows and environments increasingly exposed to risk, Ricoh designed this proposal to protect critical assets without sacrificing operational agility. The solution combines hardware, software, and professional services to strengthen physical and digital security, automate key processes, and ensure regulatory compliance, all with a focus on efficiency and employee experience.

What does this solution include?

• High-definition IP video surveillance cameras, with advanced analytics (motion detection, facial recognition, people counting).
• Physical access controllers, such as biometric readers and RFID cards.
• Intrusion sensors and environmental detection (motion, glass breakage, smoke, gas, temperature).
• Monitoring stations and control consoles, with real-time centralized surveillance capabilities.
• Secure network infrastructure, including PoE switches, UPS for operational continuity, and high-performance servers.

Ricoh Workplace Security enables the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud services, not only to strengthen physical security but also to provide a more connected and automated environment tailored to the needs of modern businesses.

"The future of work demands a balance between technology, security, and employee experience. At Ricoh, we are committed to companies accelerating their digital adoption with solutions that create more agile, secure, and people-centric work environments, impacting employee motivation and productivity," concluded Diego Imperio, President and CEO of Ricoh LATAM.

Ricoh also acquires intellectual property, contributing to the competition and collaboration with multiple stakeholders and promoting its effective utilization.

Under the 21st Mid-Term Management Strategy, launched in fiscal 2023, Ricoh is enhancing its data-driven intellectual property processes and developing talent capable of driving innovation. A key ESG target for fiscal 2025 is for digital services-related patent applications to account for more than 60% of total filings—aligning with Ricoh's goal for digital services to contribute the same percentage to overall sales.

Ricoh remains committed to innovation excellence by creating, acquiring, and leveraging intellectual property that protects and drives the growth of its business.
