VARs recently decided – for the fifth time in the past six years – that Xerox’s workgroup office color printer division was the best out there, according to the reputable VARBusiness Magazine.  The recognition was published and based on results from the magazine’s annual survey of over 5,400 solution providers and VARs.  

The Annual Report Card published by VARBusiness Magazine names great partner programs in 15 product and service categories.  Xerox got its recognition on August 21 at a ceremony that was part of the XChange ’07 Conference in Orlando, Florida.  Xerox earned the highest scores of any color printer vendor in product innovation and support.  

The Annual Report Card has earned a reputation for being the true test of the VARs community and a real representation of how they view and use products.  Because Xerox has received honors for so long, obviously it is a company that has created loyalty and has become a trusted advisor for partners.

Xerox offers many new programs that provide more options and growth opportunities for VARs in their partner programs.  Last September, Xerox introduced PagePack, a cost-per-page pricing program that lets VARs provide flexible, affordable monthly contracts based on the number of pages customers print.  Also new is the IT Advantage Program that lets VARs use higher-end systems and helps increase profit.  

Many experts believe that partnerships have become more important than ever for VARs recently because of new opportunities in color printing and small and mid-sized business markets.  Xerox is poised to continue to provide great opportunities for VARs.
