Line of the Year Awards
Annual Line of the Year Awards salute the companies that provide a broad range of hardware or software and have products that consistently performed above average throughout testing. Much consideration is also made by Keypoint Intelligence analysts and technicians in areas such as ease of use, features, and value, across an entire portfolio for that product area: A3, A4, Scanner, and Smart Workplace Solution Lines of the Year are the most prestigious awards that Keypoint Intelligence offers.
Pacesetter Awards
Based on comprehensive questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and a proprietary rating scale, Pacesetter Awards recognize those vendors that have shown market leadership in categories covering technologies, services, and key vertical markets. Topics are on a rotating basis, with an eye toward what’s most important in the here and now. Keypoint Intelligence’s Workplace or Production Market Insights studies, in which company survey responses are analyzed, help decide Pacesetter Awards.
Picks & Other Awards
Picks from Keypoint Intelligence stand alone in the industry and are hard-earned awards derived directly from lab performance and competitive analysis. Hardware or software that undergoes testing must meet certain criteria to be considered a Pick contender.
