Altron Bytes Document Solutions (BDS), the largest Xerox distributor in the world, has won the Xerox Middle East & Africa (MEA) Partner of the Year Award, the Xerox Managed Print Excellence Award, and a shared award for Xerox Production Excellence for 2018.
The awards were presented at the Xerox MEA Partner Conference that was held in Madrid, Spain in April 2019.
This is the second time in four years that Altron BDS has won the Xerox MEA Partner of the Year Award, having also won the Xerox Office System Group Award in 2017, the Xerox Managed Print Services and Xerox Partner Print Services (XPPS) X-Factor Award in 2016, and four major awards in 2015 including the Overall Xerox Middle East and Africa Partner Award.
The Xerox MEA Partner of the Year Award is contested across 80 countries and given to the partner who best exemplify among other criteria: revenue growth, account management, balanced operational performance, robust business plans and strong brand representation and stewardship. Market coverage, service modernisation, business model evaluation and value proposition are also evaluated.
