Customer News

Lexmark's MPS revenue grew in excess of 25 percent in 2011 – an estimated two to three times the market – a strong testament to the company's industry-leading services offerings. A multi-year, multimillion dollar MPS win extending Lexmark's services with Anheuser-Busch into North America highlights the company's ability to provide a broad range of capabilities and execute with high standards across the globe.

Additionally, Perceptive Software closed on numerous customer agreements, reflecting the company's domestic and international expansion in this high growth market.

  • Lexmark signed a five-year agreement with Anheuser-Busch to provide world-class MPS, deploy a standardized fleet of innovative printers and MFPs, and improve business processes for the leading American brewer. The agreement scope spans Anheuser-Busch locations across the U.S., including corporate offices and breweries, as well as Labatt Brewing Company locations in Canada.
  • Perceptive Software recently won multiple new international customers, gaining footprints with major organizations in the healthcare, education, financial services, technology, manufacturing and distribution sectors in the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Colombia and South Africa.
  • Continuing the company's momentum in the healthcare sector, Perceptive Software also won several more customers, including France-based Vitalite Health Network Pharmacies. Perceptive Software continues to expand its higher education customer base, having signed several new U.S. colleges that will integrate ImageNow with their Datatel Colleague student information systems.
