CompTIA's annual event garners support for Xerox, as its partner reward program wins a Best of Breakaway Award.

Xerox Corp. was honored for its Peak Reseller Program at the recent CompTIA Breakaway 2009 event with the Best Partner Program award.

The Best of Breakaway awards were chosen by more than 400 technology resellers and solution providers in attendance at the annual event hosted by CompTIA, a major trade association for the IT industry.

Todd Thibodeaux, president and chief executive officer of CompTIA, says Xerox's partner program "shined through" at this year's event. "Xerox's commitment to the channel ... was recognized by resellers."

PagePack 3.0

Xerox's award came on the heels of the company's PagePack 3.0 rollout.

PagePack is a suite of three managed print service programs aimed at helping channel partners manage their customers' printing infrastructure. A video about the product is posted through Bizzmail.

The PagePack program enables management of entire fleets of printers and multifunction printers--no matter what the brand. For example, PagePack offers support for Xerox devices while PagePack NX manages HP monochrome devices.

Certified channel partners can use PagePack FM to manage a customer's entire fleet. PagePack FM provides detailed reports about a business's fleet of print equipment and network usage patterns. Additionally, partners have access to third-party supplies and repair and maintenance support for competitive equipment at favorable terms negotiated by Xerox.

"The channel community is ready to adopt a managed print services program like PagePack 3.0," says Tom Gall, channel marketing manager at Xerox. and

To offer PagePack FM, partners must complete an accreditation and mentoring course, covering areas key to a managed print services deployment, such as assessment, design, implementation, and management. The Xerox PagePack 3.0 Certification Program will be held in Boston, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Chicago starting Sept. 14.
