The Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of individuals, teams, and organizations shaping the future of technology across all industry sectors. More than 700 nominations from organizations of all sizes in 37 nations and territories were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of tech-related categories.
"By inventing and commercializing the patented Encompass Tag & Assessment Generator (eTAG), Matt addressed a longstanding challenge in print fleet management, replacing labor-intensive, on-site asset registration with a mobile, self-service platform that dramatically improves speed, visibility, and operational efficiency," states one Stevie Awards judge. "The innovation's success is reinforced by strong customer validation, a granted U.S. patent, industry recognition, and measurable business value for both Toshiba and its enterprise customers. Coupled with his leadership in technical services and commitment to community service, Matt exemplifies innovation that is practical, scalable, and commercially impactful."
Matt Bull's Self-Service Support Invention
eTAG, the industry's first and currently only mobile, remote, self-service printer registration technology, works by intelligently cataloging every printer's make, model, and location within an organization's fleet, while facilitating remote and QR-generated supply and service requests.
Toshiba's patented technology delivers asset tag labels directly to printers to quickly manage organizations' fleets online without the need for costly and time-consuming on-site visits. Though recently introduced, eTAG is already enabled on thousands of devices at hundreds of Toshiba client locations.
"Matt is a true innovator as well as an inspiring leader for us here at Toshiba," says Toshiba America Business Solutions President and Chief Executive Officer Larry White. "By developing our eTAG software, he has singlehandedly streamlined the printer registration process for our service team and clients."
