Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging hardware, software, and services, today announced that Panasonic has won the coveted BLI 2019 Scanner Line of the Year award. Given once a year, this award recognizes the OEM whose product line as a whole stands above the rest in terms of the breadth of offerings and the prowess individual scanners exhibited in Buyers Lab’s testing.
“After another year of testing, Buyers Lab’s lab technicians and analysts agree that Panasonic’s portfolio of scanners proved to be the most impressive,” said Joe Ellerman, Keypoint Intelligence’s Manager of U.S. Lab Operations. “Each device that we tested this year was exceptional for its class, and the lineup received strong ratings in the Media Handling, Ease of Setup, Drivers/Software, Productivity, and OCR Performance categories. Four of those devices earned a Pick Award during Summer 2018, too.”
To determine the Scanner Line of the Year award recipient, Buyers Lab analysts consider current scanners in the OEM’s line that have been submitted for lab for testing. To judge the overall quality of the line, analysts look at the overall rating a scanner received after testing, as well as the ratings in key categories such as Reliability, Productivity, Media Handling, Image Quality, Ease of Setup, Drivers/Utilities, OCR Performance, and Value.
“Panasonic’s portfolio of scanners addresses a lot of demands from the marketplace in the digital transformation era,” said Lee Davis, Keypoint Intelligence’s Editor of Scanner/Software Evaluation. “Customers want to be able to extract specific information from any kind of document they scan, convert them into searchable, editable electronic images that look crystal clear, and send them anywhere, anytime—and they want it all with the touch of one button. These are the core competencies of Panasonic’s devices.”
