Keypoint Intelligence Recognizes Xerox with Pacesetter Award

Xerox has been awarded the 2025-2026 Pacesetter Award in Manufacturing from Keypoint Intelligence, the global market research firm known for its in-depth evaluations of document imaging and technology vendors. This award recognizes Xerox for its comprehensive approach to solving the complex document, compliance, and workflow challenges of the modern manufacturing industry.

“Manufacturing clients are looking for technology partners who understand both the factory floor and the front office,” said Terry Antinora, senior vice president and head of product and engineering at Xerox. “We’re committed to delivering innovative solutions that help manufacturers simplify daily operations so they can concentrate on serving their customers and strengthening their business.”

Keypoint Intelligence’s Pacesetter Awards identify the document imaging original equipment manufacturers that best align their products, services and go-to-market strategies with the needs of clients in specific vertical markets. Xerox was selected for this year’s award for manufacturing based on a combination of product portfolio strength, workflow automation capabilities, regulatory support, and sector-specific service delivery.

“Manufacturers need more than print hardware—they require integrated platforms that are durable, intelligent and compliance-ready,” said Keith Haas, Analyst at Keypoint Intelligence. “Xerox has distinguished itself with robust multifunction printers, workflow software, and services like Xerox ConnectKey and CareAR that directly address the traceability, auditability and mobility demands of today’s manufacturing environments.”

According to Keypoint Intelligence, Xerox stood out in the manufacturing category for its:

Regulation-ready MFPs suitable for harsh industrial environments
Integrated audit trails, version control, and secure document workflows
App-based automation for SOP routing, approvals, and compliance documentation
Industry-trained consultants and scalable deployment support

Manufacturing operations are increasingly complex, often spanning multiple sites and governed by strict compliance protocols. Xerox ConnectKey-enabled multifunction printers simplify document capture, approvals, and SOP management on the production floor, while remote fleet management ensures high uptime across facilities.

Beyond print, the CareAR Assist and CareAR Instruct platforms allow for real-time visual guidance and documentation, critical for maintenance logs, quality assurance checks and employee training in distributed environments. These capabilities, combined with the company’s deep IT Solutions and workflow automation experience, allow manufacturers to reduce manual tasks, ensure traceability, and stay audit-ready.

Xerox continues to leverage decades of experience in document workflow, managed services, and platform innovation to meet the needs of highly regulated, document-intensive industries. This recognition in manufacturing adds to the company’s ongoing leadership across vertical markets
