Independent experts from a cross-section of industries cast their votes. And when the ballots were counted, Xerox came out a winner ─ times two ─ in this year’s Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards. We took the top spot in the product category for two of our innovations.
Our Merge parking management system is a first-of-its-kind, citywide smart parking solution. It enables guided parking, predictive enforcement, meter and pay-by-cell management, and demand-based pricing – all layered with analytics. Merge cuts drive time spent looking for parking and, in the process, reduces congestion and pollution. What’s more, with Merge, parking costs have gone down.

Results show that our tool cuts print volumes by 20 percent and increases two-sided printing by 60 percent.
