New York, New York – Mimeo.com, the leading online printing and distribution company, today announced that is has been selected as the winner of the 2011 Business Transformation Award. The annual award honors innovative firms in the commercial printing, publishing, in-plant, and digital communications services markets that have recently transformed their businesses to better serve their customers, the industry, their community, or their corporate interests. This year's winners were chosen by a team of eight industry judges, working independently, to score each nomination.  The award was presented at a ceremony that was held on March 23 in conjunction with the ON DEMAND 2011 Exposition and the Publishing Xchange Conference.
