IKON Office Solutions Ranked Top Legal Document Management Service Provider

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions, today announced that IKON Office Solutions, a Ricoh company, has won the Best Document Management Service Provider category in a survey recently conducted by the New York Law Journal.

"Winning this category is not only a great honor but it is also a validation of the work we have done to align our document management offerings with the needs of the legal industry," said Mark Davey, Vice President, Legal Enterprise Solutions for IKON. "When we launched IKON Legal Enterprise Solutions we wanted to leverage all our expertise and experience to provide end-to-end customized solutions for our customers.  Being voted Best Document Management Service Provider in such a prestigious publication tells us we are on the right track."

IKON is the largest provider of legal document services in the United States and is trusted by top law firms and Fortune 1000 Corporate Counsel to handle complex litigation requests and document management challenges.  

The New York Law Journal Rankings are not a scientific survey of the marketplace but rather a popular vote. This year, over 2,000 readers cast votes. The voting was conducted via online ballot. The ballot was compiled by the sales and marketing teams of the New York Law Journal. Readers were notified of the ballot through direct emails and online advertisements linking to the ballot across ALM's network of websites. The ballot consisted of 42 categories encompassing the areas of Technology, Research, Accounting, Insurance, Financial Services, Litigation Support, Education, Recruiting and Staffing.  In total, over 350 firms were listed on the official online ballot and voters were also given the option of writing in any firms not see listed; almost 400 firms received votes via the write-in option. Once voting was completed, the ballot was scrubbed of all non-eligible, non-end-user votes. The final totals and rankings reflect only the votes cast by those end-users.

IKON Legal Enterprise Solutions offers a comprehensive portfolio of document management products and services designed to help law firms and corporate counsel manage their entire document workflow, from on-site scanning, copy and mail center management to off-site imaging and processing and other litigation support services, including IKON Litovation Solutions.  IKON Litovation Solutions integrates a suite of best-in-class technologies that provides customers with customized support throughout the entire electronic discovery process
