VISIONEER AWARDS TECH DATA“DISTRIBUTOR OF THE YEAR”

Pleasanton, Calif., January 30, 2006 – Visioneer, Inc., a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, today announced that Tech Data Corporation was named its Distributor of the Year for 2005.  Tech Data is a leading IT products distributor and has been selling Visioneer products since 1999.  The award was presented to Wendy Linsky, vice president, Peripherals, Supplies & Accessories Product Marketing at Tech Data during a celebration at Visioneer’s inaugural customer event, PartnerVision 2006 from January 25-27 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Tech Data was chosen for the highest scanner sales performance in the United States and grew their Visioneer business by 173 percent over the prior year.  This was achieved through exceptional growth in the 20/20 VAR program combined with a strong business partnership based upon marketing, support and world-class scanning solutions.

“Tech Data has significantly contributed to the success of Visioneer in 2005,” said Don McMahan, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Visioneer.  “The focus and attention we received from their Document Imaging Specialized Business Unit (SBU) really drove our growth in the VAR segment and had a lot to do with our success.  We are honored to present them with our Distributor of the Year award and look forward to even more joint success and growth in the future.”

“Tech Data and Visioneer have long collaborated to provide outstanding support for our mutual customers,” noted Linsky. “We’re proud of the success our efforts have generated.”
