Excellence awards are announced. While the winners rejoice, we have one word for

panel of judges. They are informed that the names of the candidates and they are

There are several qualifying parameters that DQ Channels has put in place to
ensure that only the best partners win the awards. One of the first things that
are considered is the overall reach of the solution provider, including its
service network, which denotes how well it can service its clients on a
pan-India level.
Additionally, the SP's commitment to post-sales service is also recorded,
gauged from the investment made in improving its service infrastructure in terms
of manpower addition, training and certifications acquired. The SP's long-term
commitment to business as well its domain expertise is also considered. The
quantum of business helps the panel decide whether it has been successful in
growing with the market.
The panel
DQ Channels made sure that panel had a good participation from vendor companies
who sell largely through solution providers, as well as distributors, to arrive
at a balanced decision. This time, the panel comprised Vivek Malhotra, Director-Sales
and Channels, South Asia. Lenovo; Binod Panda, GM-Enterprise Storage and
Computing, Ingram Micro India; Ajay Verma, Director-Channels and Alliances,
Symantec India as well as Hrishi Parthasarathy, Partner Development Manager-Lead,
Microsoft India.
There are four categories of awards, with one runner-up each. The 'Most
Comprehensive Solution Provider' award was for the SP who has the most
comprehensive solutions, spanning different technologies, in his portfolio,
which demonstrates that his company is proficient in cross selling. Under 'Best
Deployment', the panel had to judge which SP had successfully deployed the
most unique and innovative project in 2005-06.
Candidates for the 'Best Service' award had to have a wide service
network and a good service capability built into his company's corporate DNA.
Then there was the 'Fastest Growing Solution Provider' for SPs who had
registered a consistent growth over the past three years.
The final and most coveted award was the 'Most Successful Solution Provider'
with one runner-up, which is given to a SP who has superseded his peers and is
successful across all categories.
The finalists
After a lot of brain storming and throwing the names of candidates back and
forth, the panel finalized on the award winners. And DQ Channels is proud to
present the name of these companies.
