THE PRESTIGE IN WINNING A COMMS NATIONAL AWARD IS SECOND TO NONE

As a two-time Comms National Award winner, I'd recommend that any channel player looking to legitimise their go-to-market message takes part in 2010. Our suppliers like the fact that their products have won Unified Communications awards, our staff love the recognition for their hard work, and customers are happier to do business with Charterhouse as they know we've got a track-record of excellence, acknowledged by independent industry judges. It's the best night out of the year as well!
Cambell Williams, Marketing Director, Charterhouse Voice & Data

Westcon was delighted to win the CN Awards Distributor of the Year award for 2009 which we felt was a clear reflection of our efforts and achievement in making a tangible difference to our customers' businesses. To do this in such challenging times was even more satisfying. The award has validated these efforts - giving a clear sense of accomplishment and reward to our employees and has helped us to demonstrate our capabilities to our partners.
Runa McLeod - Marketing Director, Westcon

These awards are highly valued by my organisation and others in the industry, as they are independently judged and they are also seen as highly credible by our customers and prospective customers.  We find them very useful in both gaining new business and building confidence within our existing customer base.

We were delighted to win the CN Awards Service Provider of the Year award for 2009. As a channel-only organisation Griffin is only successful when our partners can grow their own businesses with our products and services. I would like to thank every reseller that nominated Griffin and all of our staff for their passion, integrity, enthusiasm and hard work.

"Winning the Comms Networking awards again in 2009 was one of the highlights of the year. The focus on the customer benefits of the solutions entered, the insightful way in which the entry forms are structured and the impartiality of the judging process make these awards the most prestigious to win. The quality of the entries in 2009 raised the bar once again. Winning two awards in such a challenging year provided our Anglia colleagues and winning customers with a welcome morale boost".
David Hurley, Managing Director - Anglia Business Solutions Ltd

Siptel won the 'Enterprise Unified Communications Solution of the Year' category at the Comms National Awards 2009, which was a tremendous accolade. The awards are renowned for their rigorous judging from a panel of well-respected, independent IT experts, and the competition is fierce, so our complex integrated Unified Communications solution truly gained the recognition it deserved. It has added value to our marketing campaigns and enhanced our burgeoning reputation as we continue to successfully build the business. Siptel's single most important aim is to facilitate business communication, from inception of an idea through to completion of a project and this award has only served to reassure our clients that our aim is being realised.
We look forward to returning this year!
Steve Rasmussen, Managing Director, Siptel

In an economic climate where many companies significantly reduced or cut their marketing spend completely, Blue Chip continued to invest heavily in both our PR and Marketing activities. Winning Marketing Campaign of the Year was a fantastic achievement that demonstrated our dedication to marketing and is indicative of the standard of campaigns we produce.  This is something that has clearly resonated with vendor organisations that we work with, as financial support for marketing campaigns and their eagerness to run promotional exercises has increased since. It is as no surprise that consequently Blue Chip's business has continued to grow, while competitors that were once considered to be solid, close down around us.

"Winning the ‘SME hosted solution of the year 2009' category at the Comms National Awards has given Outsourcery a highly credible stamp of approval which identifies us as the company of choice to our partners and customers alike. As a Microsoft Gold Partner with 7 competencies and the UK's No.1 provider of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, Outsourcery is pioneering a path for SMEs to enjoy the sophisticated technology previously reserved for large corporations. Our status as a Comms National Awards winner demonstrates that we are well equipped to deliver the cutting edge technology and provide the exemplary service that our partners and customers expect from us."
Piers Linney, Joint Chief Executive Officer, Outsourcery.

The Comms National Awards is a professional and extremely well organised event offering the chance to meet key personnel from leading vendors and channel players. Winning the award has enabled us to showcase our ability to deliver a solution that has been positively recognised by both the client and by the highly regarded panel, and therefore provides us with a valuable testimonial for prospects. The stamp of the award logo itself has opened doors and enabled further opportunities in the managed service arena. The event also helps us to identify business opportunities as well as threats. It provides us with a better understanding of the changes in the channel and how our peers and vendors are developing unique solutions. Also, and let's not overlook this, the awards are the ideal occasion to have a few well earned drinks with peers.
