VARBusiness Selects Oki Data Americas as a Tech
Innovator Company of the Year for its C8800 Series Wide-Format Color
Printers
OKI Printing Solutions’ C8800 Series earns
top honors in the Printing & Imaging category by setting new benchmark
in value for wide-format color printing
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 12, 2007 --
Oki Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI®
Printing Solutions brand, today announced the industry-leading magazine VARBusiness
recognized the company as a 2007 Tech Innovator Company of the Year for
its C8800 Series wide-format color printers in the Printing & Imaging
category.
The C8800 Series dramatically reduces the cost, complexity and space
requirements for wide-format printing with a machine that has a
footprint up to 38 percent smaller than other products in its class1.
Viewed as a business “game changer,”
OKI Printing Solutions’ C8800 Series was
recognized by judges for creating a new category of affordable
wide-format color printers that are compact enough to fit on a desktop.
It provides customers with unmatched value, powerful performance and
media versatility on demand, boasting HD Color technology and tabloid (11”x17”)
color printing capabilities.
“Coming from the most respected experts in the
channel business, this honor acknowledges OKI Printing Solutions’
dedication to providing its channel partners with competitive,
industry-changing solutions,” said Candice
Dobra, Vice President, Product Marketing, Oki Data Americas. “The
C8800 is sold exclusively through the channel and not only delivers
outstanding margins but also gives the channel an advantage over their
competition in the lucrative SMB space.”
The VARBusiness Tech Innovators project is the means by which
channel partners assess the technical innovation and development efforts
of vendors. Products were judged in two stages –
by a CMP Channel team of technology editors, which is VARBusiness’
parent company, and then by a select panel of judges from the
solution-provider community. Products were scored based upon
price/performance, technological impact for the channel, revenue
potential (margins and services) and support for channel partners.
The C8800 Series is supported by OKI Printing Solutions’
new ProfitOPS partner alliance, which is designed to reverse the
shrinking profits experienced by solution providers across the industry
by providing innovative, strategic business planning processes and
aggressive upfront discounts to infuse new life into the printing
business. The five key market points of entry, including managed
services, device consolidation, on-demand printing, technology migration
and custom print and imaging solutions, form the foundation of a
professional services portfolio that will drive new business
opportunities and greater profitability.
VARBusiness will recognize Oki Data Americas and the other
category award winners during a ceremony held at the 2007 CMP XChange
Tech Innovators conference in Miami, FL. at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa
on Monday, October 8.
