LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., January 12, 2009 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging and office solutions, today announced it has been selected by Business Solutions Magazine (BSM) as one of the best channel vendors for 2009. In conjunction with Penn State University, BSM conducted a Web-based survey of their Value-Added-Reseller (VAR) subscribers to rate their vendor partners in the following categories: Service/Support, Channel Friendly, Channel Program, Product Features, Product Reliability, Product Innovation, and Adequate VAR Margins.

During the nearly month-long survey, more than 17,000 votes were cast, making it one of the largest and most detailed surveys of its kind. Scores were calculated by BSM editorial staff and Penn State University, with overall vendor scores determined by adding the cumulative scores of the seven categories and dividing that score by the number of VAR subscribers who rated them. Vendors were broken down into a variety of technology categories for the survey and those who received too few votes were excluded from consideration.
