FREMONT, Calif., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- ABBYY USA, a leader in recognition, data capture and linguistics technology today announced Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) as the most recent partner in its Partner Education Program, further strengthening the long-standing relationship between the two companies by leveraging and extending Toshiba's existing dealer training program. For the past four years, Toshiba has offered the ABBYY recognition technology with its line of digital copiers and has received positive feedback from its dealers. The ABBYY Partner Education Program empowers Toshiba digital copier dealers with additional information and opportunities to expand their offerings with award-winning FineReader OCR software.
"As one of the most favored manufacturers in the industry, Toshiba continues in its leadership position by providing our customers with solutions that make sense," said Kay Fernandez, director of product and solutions marketing for TABS. "With the specialized training provided in ABBYY's Partner Education Program, our dealers will add much more value to our award-winning digital copiers and expand business opportunities for customers interested in document recognition and conversion."
The ABBYY Partner Education program demonstrates its ongoing commitment to its hardware partners by providing resources, information and lead referrals to help increase cross-sell opportunities for digital copiers, scanners and other hardware with ABBYY's OCR and PDF conversion software. The program features product training, webinars, technical support resources, marketing collateral support, lead referrals and a customized reseller kit that includes a not-for-resale package of ABBYY FineReader Corporate Edition(R) or ABBYY PDF Transformer(TM).
"Toshiba is one of the few organizations with a built-in dealer training and education program and we're pleased to utilize it in conjunction with our Partner Education Program," said Joe Budelli, vice president of business development for ABBYY USA. "We take the program a step further by making more in-depth information and marketing collateral readily available to better educate Toshiba copier dealers about the solution-oriented combination of digital copiers coupled with OCR technology."
