Toshiba Recognized For Six Awards Including Color Reliability, Service & Support, Speed of Installation, Running Costs, Value and Training

Denver Colorado, (December 18, 2006) – Further underscoring its technological leadership, Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) is proud to announce that it again has received top honors in Business Equipment Research and Test Laboratories’ (BERTL®) prestigious Readers’ Choice Awards program. Now in its third year, the awards recognize those office equipment manufacturers deemed “most outstanding” as surveyed by end-users and purchasing decision makers. TABS was recognized with six awards, including:

Color Reliability – Reseller Platinum Award
Training – Reseller Platinum Award
Onsite Service & Support – End User Gold Award
Running Costs – End User Gold Award
Speed & Efficiency of Installation – End User Gold Award
Value for Money – End User Gold Award

BERTL’s Readers’ Choice Awards are the cumulative findings culled from thousands of BERTL surveys over the past year to determine “the most outstanding manufacturers” in the digital imaging marketplace. Unlike other industry awards which are chosen by a small group of industry pundits, BERTL Readers’ Choice Awards are decided by its readers, the most experienced technically savvy and discerning digital imaging equipment buyers and users in the world. Survey respondents rated the quality of products, service, reliability, and functionality of equipment among other categories, with 23 digital imaging equipment manufacturers included in the survey.

“TABS is particularly proud to receive six BERTL Readers Choice Awards because it’s Toshiba’s end-users who have rated our services so highly,” said Steve Rhorer, vice president marketing, TABS. “Toshiba prides itself on its commitment to developing products that create a higher quality of business and increase productivity. These awards validate that we’re meeting the needs and demands of our customers.”
