The results are tabulated on site and awards are presented during a luncheon presentation at the conclusion of each XChange Conference.
Exceptional work in several different aspects of Ricoh s channel program earned the company the "Best Partner Program" Award. Facets of the program that were rated include offering its partners compelling incentives, strong technical assistance, marketing and sales support, as well as cost effective and time efficient training programs. In addition, the effectiveness and user-friendliness of a company s channel Web site and the communication of product lines and programs contributed to conference delegates recognizing Ricoh as a leader in business partner programs.
