Manatee School District is using a Web-to-print solution to get teachers to send jobs to the in-plant rather than copying them themselves.

Xerox works with software and hardware providers to create integrated solutions that extend the capabilities of Xerox products. The awards recognize leading partners in two categories: workflow software and document feeding and finishing solutions.
