Wrapping up an award-winning year, Xerox Corporation earned 10 new honours from leading independent testing organisations and IT publications last month - bringing its total number of worldwide product awards in 2005 to 318.
The company launched 49 office and production products in 2005, attracting international recognition for the quality of its technology, software and services.
Most recently, Buyers Laboratory Inc., a leading independent testing lab, honoured Xerox with three 'Pick of the Year' awards for the Phaser 8550 colour printer, Phaser 6120 colour laser printer and WorkCentre M118i multifunction system.
BLI also gave a five-star rating to Xerox's FreeFlow SMARTsend Pro office document scanning and routing software. The 'Pick of the Year' designations are awarded following a battery of tests that compare and rate competitive products.
Xerox also received PC Magazine's 'Best of the Year' award in the peripherals category for the Phaser 6300DN colour printer and three 'Editor's Choice' awards for the Phaser 8500/8550, Phaser 6300/6350 and Phaser 7400 colour printers from Better Buys for Business, a leading research firm and authority on office imaging equipment.
Rounding out the awards and honours for 2005, users of office multifunction systems ranked Xerox No. 1 in performance and effectiveness, according to an annual survey published in Industry Analysts Inc.'s Office Products Analyst report.
In addition, Digital Output magazine recognised Xerox as one of its 50 'Top Product Innovators' because of the "award-winning technology" of the Xerox iGen3 110 Digital Production Press.
Xerox received awards in more than 20 countries for its colour and black-and-white printers, office scanners, digital copiers, multifunction systems, and high-speed digital production systems.
