Nominations are closing soon for the inaugural Channel Asia Innovation Awards in 2019, with the deadline for submissions set at Monday 16 September.
Reflective of IDG’s increasing commitment to the region, the Awards will recognise excellence across the ASEAN channel, honouring outstanding work across customer value and innovation, spanning reseller partners, vendors, distributors and individuals.
Specifically, the Awards will celebrate the channel across seven categories - Partner Value; Emerging Tech; Vendor Value; Distributor Value; Personal Innovation; Channel Choice and Hall of Fame.
All Awards will be judged through the lens of value -
- How are partners adding value to customers?
- How are vendors adding value to partners?
- How are distributors adding value to the channel?
Under the theme of ‘All Eyes On You’, the celebration dinner will be held in Singapore on Thursday 14 November.
Partners
In acknowledging the importance of partners across ASEAN, both Partner Value and Emerging Tech categories are open exclusively to partners, spanning value-added resellers, managed service providers and system integrators, in addition to born-in-the-cloud players, start-ups and independent software vendors (ISVs).
Specifically, Partner Value will recognise excellence across Enterprise; Mid-Market and SMB, while Emerging Tech will acknowledge the channel within the segments of Cloud; Security; Digital Transformation and Smart Technology (i.e. artificial intelligence, machine learning and the Internet of Things).
Nominations for these awards should demonstrate how a partner has delivered business outcomes through thinking ahead of the curve and delivering cutting-edge solutions, that go beyond traditional IT deployments.
All winners and finalists will be announced and promoted via Channel Asia media platforms, providing the opportunity to shine a spotlight on your skill-sets and specialist expertise across the wider technology industry.
