LOS ANGELES, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Last night at an
awards ceremony during the XChange Solution Provider conference,
Everything Channel, a UBM company, honored the CRN Channel

Channel Champions survey is the largest and broadest-based
technology integrator market study in the industry. CRN received
more than 100 vendor ratings across 21 product and service
categories. The survey was conducted between December 2009 and
February 2010. Solution Providers were chosen at random from CRN's
subscriber list and were pre-qualified to ensure that they worked
in the category, were familiar with the products and had a
significant relationship with the vendor(s) being rated. Many
respondents were qualified to rate more than one vendor. CRN
specified that VARs and technology integrators rate only those
vendors with whom they had either a strategic partner type of
business relationship, when possible. Vendors rated in each
category were chosen on the basis of market share data provided by
major research firms. In the case where market share data was not
available, vendors were chosen by CRN senior editorial staff
recommendations. VARs and technology integrators were asked to rate
the relative importance of the individual evaluation criteria. To
derive the overall score for each vendor, the raw satisfaction
scores were weighted according to the relative importance of the
evaluation criteria. The 2010 CRN Channel Champions winners are as
follows: Technical Support Financial Satisfaction Satisfaction
