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 2010 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.
