PHOTIZO GROUP AWARD 2013 MPSA LEADERSHIP AWARD
Midway, KY - Photizo Group has been awarded the 2013 MPSA Leadership Award in the category of Professional Services Provider. Photizo has been recognized by the Managed Print Services Association (MPSA) for its Partner Transformation Assessment Practice.
The MPSA Leadership Awards were established in 2010 to honor those companies that have excelled in various areas related to managed print services. According to the MPSA, “Winners serve as shining examples to the community of their commitment to and expertise in managed print services (MPS).”
As part of its Partner Transformation Assessment Practice, Photizo provides assessment services that aid clients in transforming their business to a services-led organization. The practice offers a wide range of MPS assessment services, including the Rapid Assessment and Measurement Profile (RAMP); MPS Provider Scorecard; Planning Objectives, Winning and Retention Readiness (POWRR) Assessment; and MPS Channel Program Assessment.
Our rigorous and expansive MPS assessment practice is the only research-based, global assessment practice that spans from channel providers to OEMs. This point of differentiation, I believe, is what sets Photizo apart from the competition,” said Ken Stewart, Director of MPS Advisory Service at Photizo Group.
Photizo Group’s assessments begin with an extensive database of key metrics compiled from MPS customers and top resellers around the world. These benchmarks provide Photizo with a unique insight into conducting provider and OEM channel program assessments. Through the assessment process, Photizo can work with the client to approach the business in a holistic way, benchmark real versus perceived abilities, and allow the client to chart a more accurate course to their success.
“Most resellers think they are much better equipped to provide services and MPS than they really are. Our job is to help them understand their 'real' capabilities from an objective standpoint versus other 'best in class' resellers and chart a course to successful growth,” said Edward Crowley, CEO of Photizo Group.
Leading OEMs across the globe such as Canon Europe, Ricoh Europe, and Ricoh Americas have incorporated Photizo’s assessment practices into their programs.
Photizo Group will be officially recognized at the MPSA Leadership Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, July 30, 2013, at CompTIA’s ChannelCon event at the Peabody Orlando Hotel in Orlando, Fla.
