confirms that we are achieving our mission of helping to increase

Since its inception in 2003, BERTL's "Readers' Choice" awards
distinguish the highest caliber of office equipment manufacturers as
surveyed by end-users, IT managers and business decision makers. The
award for "Total Solutions Provider" queried BERTL readers about how
adept a manufacturer was at responding to requests for new IT
functions as well as thinking "beyond the box" in understanding the
specific needs of a customers' network topology, server architecture
and software release levels to deliver a complete document workflow
package.
BERTL's "Readers' Choice" awards are the cumulative findings
gathered from thousands of BERTL surveys over the past year to
determine "the most outstanding manufacturers" in the digital imaging
marketplace. Unlike other industry awards which are chosen by a small
group of industry pundits, BERTL's "Readers' Choice" awards are
decided by its readers, the most experienced, technically savvy and
discerning digital imaging equipment buyers and users in more than 50
countries worldwide. Survey respondents rated the quality of products,
service, reliability and functionality of equipment among other
categories, with 32 digital imaging equipment manufacturers included
in the survey.
