BERTL'S Best Awards
Keeping with the times and the demands of its end users BERTL left behind the simple speed
and feed productivity, artificial reliability tests and theoretical SRP pricing lists and
focused on the user and the business dynamics when putting together this year's "Best of the Best."
While it may be easy to divide up the market into speed groupings, it can often place devices
of very different capabilities side by side. Workflow demands, geographic location, security
considerations, document production needs, and user group management are all important factors
that change from environment to environment.
Four of BERTL's 2007 award categories are based on these key work environments: desktop, workgroup,
departmental and production.
Other award categories include:
Best Range/Line Awards - Common design attributes, service issues, device/network management and
usability issues will all be treated with far greater credence than merely a selection of outstanding
features on one product in the range.
Best Solution Awards - BERTL recognizes some key software integrated solution manufacturers that help
position MFPs as a multi-faceted solution designed to make a business process or workflow more productive,
cost effective or efficient.
Best Innovation Awards - BERTL is always eager to promote new technology that, in its expert opinion,
is likely to help shape the way the market will look in a year or two.
Best Wide Format Awards - BERTL, as the leading authority on wide format analysis, has recognized the
best that the wide format industry has to offer in order to help both first time corporate and experienced
wide format specialists keep up with this rapidly developing marketplace.
