Xplor Announces 2023 Dr. Keith Davidson Lifetime Achievement Award

Lutz, FL — November 15, 2023: Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association, today named the recipients of the 2023 Lifetime Achievement Awards. These awards were presented at the 2023 Xplor CCM Summit, on Tuesday, November 14th during the awards ceremony in Orlando, Florida.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was established in 2007 and is given to an individual, or individuals, whose efforts and contributions have significantly changed the course and development of the digital document industry. This award is open to Xplor International members as well as non-members.

The award was renamed last year to honor Dr. Keith Davidson, EDP who passed away. Dr. Davidson was the original Executive Director of Xplor for 11 years and is responsible for much of the influence of the association. In his honor, Xplor has officially renamed the award to the Dr. Keith Davidson Lifetime Achievement Award.

The 2023 recipients are:

Roger P. Gimbel, EDP, has had a long and distinguished history in the Document Industry. His father founded a successful chain of copy shops in New York City in the 1950’s and with his father’s premature passing in the 1970’s, he was thrust into taking over, diversifying and growing the business in additional areas, such as doing Facilities Management for AT&T.

At its’ apex, he had 3 partners in Global Document Solutions, approximately 700 employees, offset, print-on-demand and digital transactional print technologies.

20 years ago, he reinvented himself again, selling his interest in Global Document Solutions and setting up a consulting business, which continues today with 17 consultants advising clients on a broad range of document processes and technologies.

He is a founding member of IPN, the International Printers Network, which connects printers and print work across the globe.

He has been involved in Xplor for over 25 years, has attended and supported regional and global events, most recently as a Platinum Partner. He has also supported the development of our college students through contributions to the Xplor Member Scholarship program.

Scott Baker, EDP, has exhibited exceptional leadership in the technology marketing industry for over 30 years. His knowledge and expertise in technology marketing, strategy development, planning, international channels, and strategic relationships have made him a true visionary and expert in his field.

Throughout his career, he has demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of various industries, including enterprise level software, document accessible solutions, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Direct Marketing (DM), Managed Print Services (MPS), Customer Communications Management (CCM), Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Printing and Publishing, and the Finance sector.

His most significant contribution is his unwavering dedication to sharing knowledge and insights. Scott has been a consistent presence at Xplor events, attending and presenting for nearly a decade.

His commitment to Xplor and industry the in general extend beyond mere participation. Scott

served on the Board of Directors, playing a pivotal role in shaping the association’s direction. He is a global subject-matter expert on customer communications management (CCM), and his visionary approach has influenced the development of critical concepts such as Enterprise Communications Processing (ECP), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Enterprise Content Management (ECM), and Variable Data Publishing (VDP).

As Executive Vice President of Crawford Technologies and during his tenure as VP, Worldwide Channels at Quadient (formerly known as GMC), he has played instrumental roles in shaping the success of these organizations.

“Our 2023 recipients represent the best the industry has to offer,” says Skip Henk, President/CEO of Xplor International. “We thank them for all of their contributions to Xplor and the industry in general.”

Lutz, FL — October 12, 2023 – Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association, today announced the recipients of its 2023 Technology and Application of the Year Awards. The awards will be presented at a ceremony Tuesday, November 14, 2023, during the CCM Summit event at the Rosen Centre hotel in Orlando, Florida.

Application of the Year Award:

The Application of the Year Award is presented to an individual, a company or an organization to recognize outstanding achievement in the imaginative application of current technology and/or unique implementation of existing document and communication systems. This award is open to members and non-members alike.

Xplor will award one honorable mention in addition to the 2023 winner.

  • The winner of the 2023 Xplor Application of the Year is Solimar Systems, Inc. & Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic dynamically creates personalized patient booklets, in both print and electronic formats, delivering critical information that improves the patient experience and the quality of time with nurses.

    The Automated workflow eliminated the need for manual booklet kitting, packaging and mailing allowing nurses more time to spend with patients. The system-generated packets ensure current material versioning and customization for each patient. The new automated workflow freed up many hours and eliminated pre-printed materials.

  • An Honorable Mention is being awarded to Papyrus Software for its innovative Papyrus DocuFlow solution for rapid digitization of forms, documents and processes. The Papyrus DocuFlow makes it easy to migrate and design forms for digital and replaces emails and manual processes with automated workflows and case management. The DocuFlow wizard automatically converts PDF interactive forms into Web forms, accelerating digital transformation and enabling businesses to offer products and services to any customer on any device to complete and digitally sign.

Technology of the Year Award:

The Technology of the Year Award honors an individual, company or organization that has conceived and developed an original concept leading to a significant advancement in the industry.  This can be a new program, product, or technology that notably enhances the capabilities of document and communication systems. This award is open to members and non-members alike.

This year, Xplor will present two honorable mentions, in addition to the winner of the award.

  • The winner of the 2023 Xplor Technology of the Year is Crawford Technologies’ SmartSetup. This product is an efficient, no-code software solution that simplifies the indexing process for document onboarding and application migration projects. By leveraging SmartSetup’s capabilities, businesses can significantly increase productivity, eliminate errors, simplify complex projects, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
  • An Honorable Mention is being awarded to Smart Communications for SmartIQTM. Forms automation software from SmartIQTM allows organizations to modernize any form process—guiding internal stakeholders and end-users through an automated digital experience that will reduce abandonment rates and inaccurate data, accelerate end-to-end processing time, create highly secure processes that protect customer data and empower business users across the enterprise.
  • A second Honorable Mention is being awarded to Messagepoint for their Intelligent Content Hub. This leverages proprietary AI through the Messagepoint Advanced Rationalization and Content Intelligence Engine (MARCIE) which acts as an intelligent assistant to accelerate the ingestion, migration, consolidation, and optimization of content. These capabilities were a groundbreaking industry first within the CCM industry and are available in Messagepoint, Rationalizer, and an API-based content intelligence service known as Semantex.

“As always the nominations were impressive and the Awards Committee found their task of selecting winners for each award to be challenging,” says Skip Henk, EDP, President and CEO of Xplor International. “Congratulations to our 2023 award recipients and thank you to all who took the time to submit a nomination.
