According to him General Director of IPM, a Ricoh Company, for Spain and Portugal, Miquel Solerthe current competitive environment is «a complex moment, in which a high demand for new technologies coincides, important European funds to allocate to innovation projects and supply problems, and interruptions in the supply chain, aggravated by the pandemic first and the war later. Our positioning and excellent certification, as specialists in Dell-EMC and VMware environments, allows us to respond to the challenges of the largest entities around the world”.

The projects financed with European funds are still in the approval process, although we have already begun to execute part of what has been generated in the last quarter. In addition, at an international level, some investments have been paralyzed that we believe will end up arriving, without a doubt, in the coming months.
