The MPSA Awards were established in 2010 to honor those companies that have excelled in various areas related to the managed print field. Winners serve as shining examples to the community regarding their commitment to and expertise in MPS.

MPSA members and non-members alike were encouraged to submit applications for evaluation and scoring by an esteemed judging panel consisting of industry leaders. Chosen from the MPSA membership and led by members of the MPSA Executive Committee to ensure impartiality and adherence to guidelines, the panel vetted and scored awards submissions. The company scoring highest in each category was deemed winner of the respective award, with honorable mention going to the company with the second highest score.

"We appreciate that we have had more participants for submissions than in previous years and are pleased that the group of highly competitive entries included multiple international submissions," said Eric Crump, president, MPSA. "We're looking forward to recognizing these outstanding achievements and encourage the managed print community to join the celebration at the livestream event to learn more about the winning submissions and why they were selected."
