The End Of The Day With Ray! RICOH FY25 Global Strategy? Why Is Operating Profit Consistently Low

June 02, 2026

As RICOH consistently produces low operating profit it makes one question, does RICOH actually have a global strategy? It seems they are not paying attention to trends which can only be observed by tracking and managing the details of what I describe as same store sales.

The End Of The Day With Ray! Part 2 Konica Minolta, & Retired BTA Lawyer! Did He Forget 2023 Concern

May 29, 2026

In this continuing story I wanted to share more thoughts on why I believe the Retired BTA Lawyer had zero reasons to bless the new Konica Minolta U.S. Dealer contract. One reason actually comes directly from an article that quoted the retired BTA Lawyer in 2023 warning of the intentions of MEGA Dealers developing national service footprints! It seems he forgot why he was concerned in 2023 when in 2025 he blessed the new KMBS Contract. A new contract which literally open the door for that very activity. As we see MARCO and KMBS causing BIG Concerns with KMBS dealers as KMBS is ripping away from the dealers KMBS national service contracts and giving them to MARCO. I also discuss my concerns of the nepotism regarding the BTA legal service. Also how I see some actors creating good ole boy clubs which I believe to be very threatening to the scrutiny the industry needs as it navigates through its greatest disruption.

May 26, 2026

After watching an interview with a couple of MARCO leaders one being their CEO regarding MARCO's National Service Footprint I wasn't surprised that the guy with the hat didn't address Konica Minolta Business U.S. Ripping away national accounts from dealers and giving them to MARCO. Instead what I saw was a distraction conversation attempting sell dealers on why dealers should consider using MARCO's national service footprint themselves to facilitate managing the dealers national accounts. To that I think - WTF!!! So in this episode I share more for the dealers to think about. As I see this as a major concern for the overall dealer community which should be addressed. .
