Panasonic System Networks Company of America today announced receipt of Better Buys for Business Scan-To-File Guide's 2011 Editor's Choice Awards for its KV-S1045C high-output workgroup scanner, KV-S3105C high-volume, high-speed A3 scanner, and KV-S5055C high-volume ledger-size scanner.

Non-partisan and advertising-free, Better Buys for Business rigorously evaluates competing scanners from every major vendor before awarding its highly coveted Editor's Choice annual awards. In addition to exceeding expectations during testing and office environment simulations, winning models must earn top ranks in end-user surveys covering such critical areas as equipment performance, ease of use, and brand satisfaction.

"We are honored that BBB's editors have recognized our scanner division with a 'Triple Crown' of Editor's Choice awards for 2011," said Panasonic System Networks Company of America President Bill Taylor. "Winning even of one these awards is a major achievement in our industry, and winning three of them in a single year is, frankly, a notable validation of Panasonic's engineering, production and marketing vision for its scanner solutions."

"An Editor's Choice award is our way of telling buyers which products are outstanding in the real world and provide the best performance and the best value in their category," BBB editor Melissa Pardo noted. "Editor's Choice Award winners are truly best-in-class solutions."

Winning an Editor's Choice award, Ms. Pardo added, identifies a scanner "as a benchmark of high quality, exceptional performance and real value" based on Better Buys for Business' more than 15 years of experience in equipment research and analysis.
