The Managed Print Services Association (MPSA) announced the winners of its 2023 MPSA Leadership Awards. Winners and honorable mentions were recognized in six categories at this year’s live stream awards ceremony, held virtually on October 17 at 3 p.m. ET.
The MPSA Awards were established in 2010 to honor those companies that have excelled in various areas related to the managed print field. Winners serve as shining examples to the community regarding their commitment to and expertise in MPS. The last awards ceremony was hosted via Livestream on November 1, 2022.
MPSA members and non-members alike were encouraged to submit applications for evaluation and scoring by an esteemed judging panel consisting of industry leaders. Chosen from the MPSA membership and led by members of the MPSA Executive Committee to ensure impartiality and adherence to guidelines, the panel vetted and scored awards submissions. The company scoring highest in each category was deemed winner of the respective award, with honorable mention going to the company with the second highest score.
“We appreciate that we have had more participants for submissions than in previous years,” said MPSA President Eric Crump, “and are pleased that the group of highly competitive entries included multiple international submissions. We’re looking forward to recognizing these outstanding achievements and encourage the managed print community to join the celebration at the live stream event to learn more about the winning submissions and why they were selected.”
