Citrix Systems Named 2012 CRN Channel ChampionHonored as the top vendor in the financial factor subcategory for server and desktop virtualization |
Santa Clara, CA - Citrix Systems was named a 2012 Channel Champion by CRN in the financial factor subcategory for server and desktop virtualization at an awards ceremony during the XChange Solution Provider conference on March 6, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. CRN’s annual Channel Champion awards are based on the results of a series of surveys conducted with top solution providers.
The CRN Channel Champions survey is the largest and broadest-based technology integrator market study in the industry, measuring the overall perceptions of vendor products and services by IT Solution Providers. Awards are presented to vendors based on the perception of their Channel partners in the areas of technological satisfaction, support satisfaction and financial benefits. The end result is a list of the most partner-friendly vendors in the channel, serving as a valuable resource for technology integrators when evaluating vendors and their programs.
“By winning the Channel Champion award, Citrix has received a very honorable distinction,” said Kelley Damore, Vice President and Executive Editor at CRN. “What makes this award so special is that fact that vendor winners are voted on by solution providers based on their dedication to supporting and maintaining a strong channel program. Citrix received this award as a direct result of the company’s ability to develop and grow solid, mutually beneficial relationships with partners. We congratulate Citrix on this recognition.”
A sample list of Channel Champions award winners and related study was published in the April 23, 2012 issue of CRN magazine and online at www.crn.com.
