The three “I’s” of success are innovation, ingenuity and indomitability. The most successful solution providers are those who are pushing the boundaries of technical innovation in building holistic systems, devising and executing on business strategies and goals, and, of course, exhibiting sheer determination in propelling their businesses forward.
| Nearly 200 solution providers were nominated by their peer and vendor partners for the honors |
The VARBusiness VARs of the Year are solution providers that exemplify these principles. They are making strides to improve their businesses and business models, service their customers better and leverage their vendor relationships to raise the bar for themselves and their peers.
In this special report, VARBusiness recognizes solution-provider excellence in eight categories: Solution Innovation, Services Delivery, Custom Systems, Sales & Marketing Excellence, Business Ingenuity, New Ventures, Partnership and Value To Customer.
The editors of VARBusiness judged and selected the VARs of the Year from a broad field of candidates. Nearly 200 solution providers submitted entries or were nominated by their peer and vendor partners for the honors. The awards, now in their second year, were more competitive than ever. Selecting these eight standouts was like finding a superstar solution provider among a field of brilliant stars.
Judging eight solution providers as the best shouldn’t detract from the excellence achieved by the other nominees in the VARs of the Year running. VARBusiness editors pained over the nominees, and went through several runs of judging to narrow the list to a core of superior players.
The VARBusiness VARs of the Year are more than just superior solution providers; they are role models and trailblazers for others to follow.
