NORWALK, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) received top honors from channel publications and
their readership for its strong partner program, leadership and innovative
technology. 

For the third consecutive year, Xerox was named "overall winner" for workgroup
color printers in CRN`s 2009 Channel Champions Awards, taking the top spot in
all three sub-categories - "expected sales," "competitive pricing," and "product
margins, SPIFs and rebates." In addition, the company`s multifunction printers
received an award in the "support satisfaction" sub-category for multifunction
printers. 

"The quality of a vendor`s partner program determines how profitable its
partners will be. So for their commitment to their partners, and their efforts
to build quality programs, we congratulate Xerox for helping to drive greater
revenue in the channel," said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and
editorial director, Everything Channel. 

Other recent Xerox accolades include:

* Recognized as one of North America`s top information-technology vendors and
awarded a five-star certification in Everything Channel`s 15th annual 2009
Partner Program Guide.

network color laser printer category. VARs rated vendors of SMB products in 15
different categories in this study completed by Everything Channel's Institute
for Partner Education & Development (IPED). 
* Named one of the "Best Channel Vendors" by Business Solutions. The magazine
partnered with Penn State University to conduct a Web-based survey of their VAR
subscribers to rate their vendor partners in multiple categories including
product reliability, product features and service/support.

Reseller Sales for Xerox, was listed as one of CRN's Channel Chiefs among 150
