This month we celebrate individuals in the document imaging industry who are making a difference. You may be familiar with some of the people we’re recognizing, or you may be reading about them for the first time. It’s a diverse mix that we’re acknowledging.
Some of these individuals are the thought leaders and individuals whose knowledge and opinions their peers and others in the industry value. Some have done and continue to do a terrific job of running their organizations and building a business. Others are contributing to their organizations behind the scenes, but still making a difference. If you attend industry events you’re likely to see some of these folks there, hosting panels or seminars, sitting on panels, and networking with other document imaging industry professionals. Some of the individuals who are making a difference are active on social media or are contributing blogs and articles to industry publications, and some of them I consider my most valuable sources for information about all segments of the document imaging industry.
We had a great time putting this feature together over the past three months, but we couldn’t do it without an enormous amount of help. We received input from dozens of individuals from every segment of the industry, including OEMs, services, solutions, and supplies providers, as well as dealers and industry analysts. Those who heeded our call for recommendations responded with enthusiasm. Since the plan is to make this a regular yearly feature we hope more individuals from the document imaging industry will offer their input for next year’s edition.
There was a fair amount of consensus on many of the difference makers profiled in this issue. If you’re plugged into the industry, some of these selections aren’t going to surprise you all that much. We also received recommendations for people who we might not have considered initially, but after reading the reasons why they were recommended, we were convinced that they are indeed making a difference as well.
In addition to the difference makers we’re profiling in print, be sure to visit www.enxmag.com or read our weekly newsletter in May where we’ll identify other individuals from the industry who should also be on your radar.
Thanks for reading.
