“Toshiba’s eTAG software helps organizations’ IT teams operate better by more effectively tracking and managing their print fleets,” says Merit Awards Executive Director Marie Zander.  “We celebrate such innovative spirit and are delighted to present Toshiba with our 2026 Gold Merit Award for best Business Technology.”

Self-Service Support

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, enabling organizations to quickly manage their fleets online without costly, time-consuming on-site visits.  Though recently introduced, eTAG is already enabled on thousands of devices at hundreds of Toshiba client locations.

“Team Toshiba is immensely honored to receive the 2026 Gold Merit Award for best Business Technology,” states Toshiba America Business Solutions Vice President of Managed Print Services Scott Robinson.  “eTAG is now activating our client print fleets online in a matter of days, which previously took weeks.  The net result is a significant time and cost savings for our clients.”
