Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab (BLI), the world\u2019s leading independent tester of document imaging products, announced that Alaris, a Kodak Alaris business, has been honoured with the BLI 2018 Scanner Line of the Year award.<\/p>\n
BLI analysts bestow the coveted Line of the Year honour once annually to the vendor whose product line is determined to be the best overall, with models at every level that excel in BLI\u2019s rigorous two-month laboratory evaluations.<\/p>\n
\u201cBLI\u2019s testing and analysis have shown that Alaris delivers a line packed with intelligent, automated features that help businesses optimise the way they integrate paper-based information into their mission-critical workflows,\u201d said Jamie Bsales, Director, Workflow Solutions at BLI.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis, plus the lab-proven reliability of Alaris scanners, has earned the global solution provider BLI\u2019s prestigious Scanner Line of the Year award for the third consecutive year and the fourth time overall.\u201d<\/p>\n
To determine the Scanner Line of the Year award recipient, BLI analysts consider current scanners in the OEM\u2019s line that have been submitted to BLI\u2019s lab for testing. To judge the overall quality of the line, the 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 set-up, drivers\/utilities, OCR performance and value.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlaris continues to set the standard for what a scanner needs to be in the age of digital transformation,\u201d said Lee Davis, Editor for scanners and solutions at BLI.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current portfolio – from its 20-ppm desktop scanners to high-speed, 210-ppm high-volume production units – addresses a growing need for intelligent, connected capture solutions. The opportunity for packaged offerings to be built around third-party software integrations to drive greater efficiency in applications such as invoice processing and customer on-boarding is huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to the Line of the Year award, Alaris was honoured with three other awards in BLI\u2019s Winter 2018 Picks season for devices tested in the preceding six months.<\/p>\n
The Alaris S2000 Series was chosen by BLI analysts as winner of a Winter 2018 Pick for Outstanding Departmental Scanner, the Kodak i3300 Scanner won a pick as Outstanding Light Production Scanner, and the Alaris Passport Flatbed Accessory was recognised with an Outstanding Achievement in Innovation award.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis makes Alaris by far the most-awarded scanner manufacturer in BLI\u2019s 60-year history,\u201d said Bsales, \u201cwith 29 Pick and Outstanding Achievement awards to its credit, along with the four Line of the Year honours.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlaris has a rich legacy of helping businesses manage digital transformation,\u201d said Siddhartha Bhattacharya, Vice President Global Marketing, Alaris.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing recognised by the analysts at Buyers Lab for our imaging science expertise is always gratifying and humbling. This time is significant because it\u2019s the first set of awards for our flagship Alaris S2000 Series Scanners. These new devices represent the future of intelligent connected capture and are a core element of the Alaris IN2 Ecosystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe name is new but our Alaris line of scanners are built with the same unwavering commitment to productivity, reliability and quality that our customers and partners have depended on for decades. The Alaris brand stands for innovation and an unrelenting drive to make business more agile and efficient.\u201d \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
