This program recognises the standout work of managed service providers, system integrators and value-added resellers across metro and regional locations, complemented by start-ups, specialists, and homegrown independent software vendors. Innovation at vendor and distributor levels is also magnified, recognising leading champions of the channel, creative thinkers, consistent performers, and market leaders. To achieve this, the Innovation Awards will honour the channel across seven categories, spanning Partner, Tech Partner, Innovation for Good, Start-up, Personal Innovation, Vendor, and Distributor categories as well as the Hall of Fame.
