Toshiba America Business Solutions announced today that innovator Matt Bull has been honored with a Silver Stevie® Award for Technology Excellence, the latest in a long line of Stevie Award recognition. Matt Bull Stevie Award names him Employee of the Year in the 2026 Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. Furthermore, he was awarded the Matt Bull Stevie Award for his leadership as the lead inventor of eTAG® (Encompass Tag & Assessment Generator), a solution that makes asset tagging simple for organizations of all sizes.
The prestigious award recognises Bull’s role in modernising print fleet management with practical technology innovation. Additionally, his patented solution simplifies the complexity of traditional asset registration, while also enhancing operational efficiency for enterprise customers. As companies continue to adopt digital workplace technologies, innovations such as eTAG® enable faster, more efficient device management.
The Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence honours exceptional accomplishments by individuals, teams and organisations that are shaping the global technology industry. The awards attracted more than 700 nominations this year from organizations in 37 countries and territories. Thus, the competition demonstrated innovation across a range of technology sectors and business 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.”
eTAG® Simplifies Print Fleet Management
eTAG® remains the industry’s first and currently only mobile, remote, self-service printer registration technology. The platform intelligently identifies each printer’s make, model and physical location across an organization’s fleet. In addition, the technology enables remote service requests and QR code-based supply management through a streamlined digital process.
Toshiba’s patented platform prints asset tag labels directly from connected devices. Therefore, organizations can register printers quickly without requiring costly on-site technician visits. The solution also improves fleet visibility while reducing manual administrative work.
Toshiba Recognizes Innovation and Leadership
Although Toshiba introduced eTAG® recently, the technology already supports thousands of devices across hundreds of customer locations. As a result, enterprise organizations benefit from faster deployment, simplified maintenance and improved service responsiveness.
“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.”
The Silver Stevie® Award further strengthens Toshiba’s reputation for technology innovation and customer-focused solutions. Meanwhile, Bull’s achievement demonstrates how practical software development can improve business operations through automation and digital transformation. As enterprise organizations seek smarter workflow solutions, innovations like eTAG® continue to redefine print fleet management while delivering measurable operational value.
