VISIONEER RECOGNIZES XEROX WITH“THE ED FRANCIS AWARD”
FOR MOST STRATEGIC PARTNER
Pleasanton, Calif., January 30, 2006 – Visioneer, Inc., a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, today announced that Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) was selected to receive the inaugural “Ed Francis Award” for 2005. The award was presented to Harry Williams, vice president and general manager of Xerox’s Intellectual Property Operations during a celebration at Visioneer’s inaugural customer event, PartnerVision 2006 from January 25-27 in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Ed Francis Award for exceptional channel partners is given in memory of Ed Francis, who was Director of Licensing at Xerox Corp and a longtime friend and supporter of the channel.
In 2003, Visioneer combined its leading scanner technology with the Xerox brand recognition to develop the Xerox DocuMate series of workgroup scanners. In 2004 and again in 2005, the Xerox DocuMate 252 and DocuMate 272, respectively, were ranked by AIIM as best desktop document scanner. In 2005 the Xerox DocuMate 262 was given an Editors’ Choice Award from PC Magazine for its price/performance, ease-of-use and best document management software.
“Ed provided the vision, enthusiasm and pure heart to make the Xerox trademark licensing program a reality,” said Williams. “His exuberance for what was possible and what could be achieved was motivational and inspirational to everyone he worked with. No idea was too big for Ed. While he will be sorely missed, this award in Ed’s honor will allow his name to live on.”
“We are delighted to be able to honor Ed’s memory in this small way as we celebrate his contribution to both Visioneer and the channel in general,” said Murray L. Dennis, president and CEOat Visioneer. “He was a true channel champion in everything he did and will long be remembered as a source of inspiration for those of us who live and work this business in the years to come…”
