July 23, 2009 - For the sixth consecutive year, Advance Business Systems has earned an Elite Dealer Award from OfficeDEALER Magazine. Presented annually to the nation’s top dealers of office equipment and products, the distinction recognizes Advance’s exceptional customer service, workplace environment, business innovations and community involvement.

“Being acknowledged as one of the industry’s leading dealers for six years running is a great honor that’s shared by everyone here at Advance Business Systems,” said Chief Operating Officer Jeff Elkin. “As honored as we are by the award, the most important accolades are those of customers. Everyday, we strive to earn them with superior service, break-through solutions and leading-edge technology.”

Advance was selected from 300 nominations from across the county and will be featured in the August issue of OfficeDealer Magazine.

Qualifying Advance for the award were its innovative products, such as its managed print and document management services, which reduce customers’ costs while boosting their efficiency.

Advance’s strong internal culture was also a factor. For the past several years, the company has been a finalist in the Baltimore Business Journal’s Best Places to Work competition.

Celebrating 45 years in business, Advance Business Systems is privately owned and operated and is the leading independent document solutions provider in Maryland. Advance provides custom solutions for electronic document management, managed print services, networked digital copiers, printers, scanners, wide format equipment, fax solutions and paper shredders.

With annual revenue approaching $40 million, Advance continues to receive national recognition for their commitment to providing outstanding service, as well as sales awards, from all of the manufacturers they represent: Savin/Ricoh, Canon, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Muratec, Docuware, and KIP. Advance is a manufacturer’s certified service training center, one of the few in the entire U.S.
