ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 3, 2009 – Avanti Computer Systems was named Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) 2008 Automation Business Partner of the Year in Automation for its continued contribution to Xerox, its customers and the printing industry.
Having already received the designation “Optimized for Freeflow”, Avanti completed two additional integrations into the Xerox Freeflow Workflow Collection for both Freeflow Output Manger and Freeflow Print Manager, bringing the number of integrations into Xerox’s Freeflow to five.
“Xerox customers now have the ability to implement a completely touch less workflow by leveraging Avanti and Xerox’s Freeflow suite.” Says Patrick Bolan, Avanti’s President and CEO. “Printers realize they can’t touch a $500 digital job ten times and expect to make any money. Automation provides an immediate return on investment by reducing both labor costs and turnaround time.”
The Xerox Business Partner of the Year awards are presented annually by the Xerox Global Business & Strategic Marketing Group, which brings to market the full portfolio of Xerox document solutions, software and systems for production and office environments. The awards honor business partners that contributed most significantly to the business success of Xerox and its customers.
