Friday 08. February 2013 - Photizo Group announces that OKI Data Americas has signed on as its first Diamond sponsor of the Transform Global Conference, which will take place May 6-9, 2013 at the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Transform Global is the premier imaging industry event, drawing members from the channel community, dealers, consultants, and imaging executives worldwide to attend. The conference will feature a multifaceted agenda, exploring various topics surrounding hardware, supplies, services and digital workflow. Tim Brien, director of Managed Print Services (MPS) at OKI Data Americas, will deliver an opening address at the welcome reception on May 6. OKI Data is the first and only company to achieve Diamond sponsorship status at a Transform conference.
In addition to its Diamond sponsorship, OKI Data America will host an exhibit in the Workflow Pavilion, which is a brand new feature at Transform Global. The Workflow Pavilion will highlight products, ideas and industry advancements that will influence and shape the office of the future and workflow transformation. This innovative pavilion will explore the latest research and technologies surrounding smartphones, tablets, software, videoconferencing and total managed services – including integrated network, print, document management & verticalized solutions.
“With today’s proliferation of industry changes – in technology, solutions, hardware and services – the emergent office of the future is closer than anyone realizes,” Brien continued. “The long-term impact on how we will work, how we will manage, the business processes, practices, systems and tools we will use is undergoing a significant and dramatic transformation – one that will change the office landscape and environments for decades to come.”
Transform Global provides attendees and sponsors with the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and receive cutting-edge education, diving beyond managed print services and into the future of imaging. The year of 2013 marks the fifth year of the Transform conference series and the event will feature industry leaders, experts and analysts, end-user case studies and channel success stories of transformation.
OKI Data Americas was a Platinum sponsor for the event in 2012 and 2010, and a Silver Sponsor in 2011.
“As our first and only Diamond sponsor, OKI Data Americas has demonstrated a paramount understanding of where MPS is headed and it’s obvious that they are keeping up with the fast-paced evolution of the imaging industry,” said Ed Crowley, Photizo Group founder and CEO. “We are thrilled that OKI Data Americas signed on for another year of sponsorship and I am confident that their expanded commitment to bringing continued education to the MPS dealer and reseller community will further cultivate success for both Photizo Group and OKI.”
“OKI Data is both excited and honored to represent and support the Transform Global conference as its Diamond partner,” said Tim Brien, Director of MPS for OKI Data Americas. “The Transform Global Conference is our must-attend event of the year.”
