GSM
TestLab
to make annual awards
Adding to it's recent announcement to perform test reports
on hardware and software, GSM has further announced the
concept of the GSM
TestLab.
It has also announced the GSM Awards which are to be
awarded at the start of each year. The winners for these new
hardware and software awards, will be drawn from tested and
review items from the preceding year.
Says GSM's executive editor John Baker, "It's not BAFTA and
it's not The Oscars, but we hope that the GSM Awards will
become as important and well known in our own industry".

Hardware test report imminent
Canon's new
imageFORMULA DR-2510C scanner first to
feature
GSM kicks off 2008 with its first ever Test Report. To be
modelled on the JD Power (motoring) test reports, it is
hoped that the industry will come to see test reporting of
hardware as much a standard for information management, as
it is for industries such as photography and automotive.
'GSM Test Report 001: Canon 2510C Scanner'
will be out in the next issue of the magazine (49) due to
hit IM industry desks at the start of March.
To encourage subscriptions and advertising tie-ins, there
will be a minimum two month hold-back before the
report is published online.
