Japan: Ricoh migrates on-premise workloads to the cloud

Ricoh, a Japanese company specializing in imaging and electronics, has moved its on-premise workloads to the cloud as a part of the company's GLIDER data infrastructure project which aims to consolidate data from sales, inventory, and operations from more than 50 separate companies that make up the group into a centralized system for processing and analysis.

“We have chosen to modernize our current Informatica PowerCenter solution to an AI-powered, cloud-native Informatica’s IDMC because of IDMC’s platform neutrality, multi-cloud support, superior functionality and performance, including the ability to accelerate the conversion of workloads from PowerCenter to IDMC in a matter of minutes while supporting seamless and timeliness of our business operations across the globe,” said Yoshinobu Hamanaka, Ricoh's deputy general manager of process, IT and data management, digital strategy department, corporate IT Management Center.

Taito Kozawa, country manager and president of Informatica Japan, added: “Informatica Japan is pleased to support Ricoh in their data integration project, enabling the customer to drive data transformation at a global scale to achieve operational excellence across their group of companies."
