BlackSpider Honoured by Channel Partners at CRN Awards
BlackSpider Technologies, the only 100% channel-focused managed security services company, was voted Specialist Vendor of the Year (services category) at the CRN Awards.
The company’s new channel programme, launched only four months ago, was lauded by the judges and readers of the magazine and trounced the competition: “In the [Specialist Vendor of the Year] Services category, there was good support for all the vendors, but BlackSpider won by a considerable distance on both the reader and judges votes. The company is clearly giving value to the reseller community and getting the recognition it deserves.” Simon Meredith, CRN - http://www.channelweb.co.uk/crn/features/2146540/channel-players-pick-champions
The award comes a week after BlackSpider won the coveted IT Services Supplier of the Year Award at the Computing Awards.
John Cheney, CEO, BlackSpider Technologies, comments: ”Our success at both of these awards ceremonies caps what has been a very exciting year at our company. We are delighted that our channel partners recognise the value of BlackSpider to their business and that they voted for us in such numbers to win.”
