Re: Cannata Awards Recipients
I wanted to respond to the "Best Software & Services Providers" Award. It's my understanding and I could be wrong, is that a dealer survey is sent to "x" dealers with the above questions. There were four nominees that I heard of and they were: ACDI FM Audit Paper Cut Square 9 Where is DocuWare, Nuance, Print Audit, PSIGEN, MWAI and the others? Which got me to thinking. Is Cannata using the same pool of dealers every year for the voting? I'm thinking maybe yes, because these players in...

Re: Cannata Awards Recipients
I agree Rick Taylor has done a superb job at KM but I think he does win it every year. Rightfully so in my opinion, but I also believe Cannata uses the same dealers every year. Since I met them a couple years ago and we use 4 or 5 partners on the lists now we have been included in the voting for the last 2 years.

Re: Lease Equipment Return Summit
This should be an interesting meeting. I will be there and will be more than happy to fill you in on how the meeting goes. I am very curious what the dealer community has to say about this issue. I have spoken to dealers and some are very adamant that only the originating dealer has the ability to allow the return of equipment early for a customer. They want help in protecting their customer base.
