Lexmark International, Inc. has been recognized as a Leader in smart multifunction products (MFPs) by the IDC MarketScape 2013 Smart MFP report, which analyzes the strategies and current capabilities of companies providing smart MFPs.

In addition, the report notes that "Lexmark holds a leadership position in managed print services as well as extensive software ecosystem."
