Embedded Software Architecture (ESA) 

Customised Java-based solutions hosted on Ricoh MFP Devices and Laser Printers

In the modern office environment, traditional standalone single-function output devices like copiers and printers have evolved into networked multifunction input/output devices. Office equipment is now an essential component within the communication framework of computer networks, and Ricoh wants to take them even further.

To improve efficiency around office workflows, Ricoh has created "Embedded Software Architecture", a J2ME-compliant application development platform, to meet the unique business requirements of businesses.

Embed applications on multiple Ricoh Devices

Ricoh's "Embedded Software Architecture" open platform offers optimum versatility. For example, an embedded Java application might scan a document from an MFP Device, identify the title, and automatically send it to the appropriate location.

Gain full benefit from customised Java Application development

Ricoh MFP devices and Laser Printers can now be built into an organization's existing IT infrastructure with powerful results.

Customised Java-based solutions hosted on Ricoh's "Embedded Software Architecture" provide the platform necessary for Systems Integrators, Independent Software Vendors, and In-House Developers to build tightly integrated solutions streamlining customer processes and document handling.

Application development is dramatically enhanced

Ricoh's "Embedded Software Architecture" is an open, scalable platform with multiple benefits: It is Java-based, an object-oriented development language with rich network interfaces; allows for tighter integration with MFP devices and Laser Printers; and developed applications can be easily and cost
