Avanti-lgToronto's own Avanti Computer Systems was named Xerox 2011 Print MIS Business Partner of the Year for its continued contribution to Xerox, its customers and the printing industry as a whole. The award was presented to the company at the recent Xerox Partner Summit in Tampa, Florida.


The Xerox Partner Conference is an opportunity for Xerox to recognize the partner community and highlight their partners of the year. With over 100 industry-leading software and hardware providers participating in the Xerox Business Innovation Partner Program, Avanti said in a news release that it was honoured to receive this recognition in the Print MIS category for the fourth time.

"The running of a the print shop has changed dramatically over the years," says Stephen McWilliams, EVP of Avanti. "Ten years ago, a shop would have 10 jobs that had to get out in the next 10 days. Now they have 10 jobs that need to get out in the next hour! The only way to do that, without throwing people at the problem, is through automation. Xerox customers realize Print MIS plays a key role there."
