The Managed Print Services Association (MPSA) has announced the opening of the 2022 MPSA Leadership Awards. Since 2010, the Leadership Awards program recognizes MPS leaders, innovators and dedicated members of the MPS community who have demonstrated industry leadership by looking toward the future, respecting the past and serving their profession while welcoming diversity of thought.

Submissions are now being accepted for the 2022 MPSA Leadership Awards in seven categories. Online forms for each category can be found on the MPSA Awards webpage. Submissions are evaluated and scored by a judging panel comprised of industry leaders and members of the MPSA Executive Committee.

Entries are accepted until July 31, 2022, and winners will be announced in a virtual ceremony.

The awards program is accepting submissions in these categories:

• Best MPS Software Provider — Recognizing an organization that develops software for the MPS sector, whether sales management, device management, user management, service management or billing.
• Best Independent MPS Provider — Recognizing an organization selling MPS, but not owned by a manufacturer. The organization may also be offering additional solutions around document management, document workflow and/or business document processes.
• Best MPS Professional Services Provider — This award recognizes an organization with more than one full-time employee providing training, research, financing or consultancy.

• Best MPS Infrastructure Provider — Recognizing an organization that has no reseller agreement with end users, but provides a necessary combination of components to create a successful program (e.g., distribution, parts, supplies, break/fix services, etc.).
• Best MPS Industry Collaboration — Recognizing advancements made by one or more companies that developed new products, training or programs that further the advancement of MPS. This award is intended to recognize the best collaborative effort by multiple organizations.
• Best MPS Support by an OEM — Recognizes an OEM that supports its dealer channel that sells MPS. The organization may also offer support through pricing, programs or additional solutions around document management, document workflow and/or business document processes.
