This weekend’s CMP XChange solution provider conference featured an announcement by CRN of the 16th annual Channel Champions award winners.  This study for solution providers analyzes ideas about products and services.  Solution providers including VARs and tech integrators use the results to choose and evaluate vendors.  

CRN offers solution providers important information and analyses that help them improve and support their sales.  CRN has established itself as the most known and credible source for solution providers.

The CRN Channel Champions program for solution provider is the largest market study of its kind.  The study includes 2,000 solution providers answering questions about services between December 2006 and January 2007.  Solution providers are chosen from the subscriber list randomly and pre=qualified to make sure their experience was relevant.  The VARs and technology vendors selected by solution providers had to be only those with which the solution providers had worked.

Solution providers had to rate how critical the individual evaluation criteria was.  In order to get the total score for the particular vendor, the scores were ranked based on the relative importance of the criteria.

The full list of Channel Champions will appear in the May 7th issue of CRN.  For more information on this story for solution providers, including a list of the CRN Channel Champions, please visit the attached link.
