ENX Magazine is proud to announce the 2020 list of Difference Makers, based upon nominations we received from our readership earlier this year. Full profiles will be included in the May/June print issue of ENX Magazine, which will be mailed during the first week of June (see related article below).

This year’s list includes a rich representation of a wide variety of players in the office technology universe, from dealers and OEMs to distributors, suppliers, consultants and other purveyors of hardware, software, managed services – the entire business ecosystem. And while the definition of a difference maker is quite subjective, the common denominator among the honorees is their willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty and help ensure a positive outcome not only for customers but their companies and key partners as well.

We would like to thank all of those individuals who took the time out to nominate our Difference Makers, and to the honorees themselves, we offer a hearty congratulations – as well as our eternal gratitude – for making the document technology industry one of the leading industries in the nation. We certainly could not have achieved that status without you.
