Exton, PA (Feb. 4, 2020) – Premier, a health care improvement company, has signed a group purchasing agreement with Ricoh USA Inc. to create frameworks for streamlined, pre-negotiated, discounted document management solutions and other services.
The new agreement lets Premier members take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for any of Ricoh’s vast offerings, from facilities management to IT support to document management. The framework makes it more intuitive and cost-effective for Premier members to leverage Ricoh’s unique broad and deep understanding of the challenges facing health care organizations, as well as its vast portfolio of solutions and services tailored to address those challenges.
“This agreement is a direct result of a strong 20-year partnership we have with Premier, working directly with their leaders to create savings for members by giving them access to our dedicated support team who are experts in document management and workflow improvement,” said Scott Dabice, vice president, pricing and strategic markets, Ricoh USA Inc. “Our partnership has grown more than tenfold since its start, demonstrating our ability to help health care organizations in a variety of settings – from acute care facilities to dedicated surgical centers and clinics – tackle their challenges and meet their document management goals.”
Ricoh’s health care services empower digital transformation, helping improve data capture and access, care collaboration and information governance. The Ricoh-Premier relationship began in the document management space more than 20 years ago, and the current framework empowers Premier members to secure attractive rates – leveraging existing contract templates – for any of Ricoh’s offerings, from forms management to revenue cycle administrative solutions, enterprise content management to interoperable fax-replacement communication, and everything in between.
