RICOH Company, Ltd. has agreed to work jointly in software research and development with the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI). Exploring the framework of next generation office work using Web technologies, the goal is to develop related business software in three years.
The mainstream of office work style is described by concurrent operations sharing duties organically among two or more units on a project basis. RICOH Company, Ltd. will examine the new practice of using the Web to share information mutually among researchers in the company as well as among companies.
