APC a Channel Champion for 15th straight year

NORTH KINGSTOWN – APC by Schneider Electric has been honored as a CRN Channel Champion in the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – Data Center Power Management category.
It was the company’s 15th consecutive victory in the annual awards program, sponsored by the Everything Channel’s CRN. Rankings are based on a survey that analyzes solution-provider perceptions of vendor products and services.
“For the last 18 years, solution providers have come to rely on the CRN Channel Champions study as a way to evaluate the leading technology vendors in the channel today,” Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director at Everything Channel, said yesterday in announcing this year’s honorees. “We congratulate the winners for delivering high quality solutions that satisfy business partners.”
Channel Champion honors are based on rankings in an annual survey that CRN describes as the industry’s largest and broadest-based technology-integrator market study. This year’s survey rated more than 100 vendors in 29 key product and service categories.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition for the 15th consecutive year, and are pleased that our partners recognize our continued commitment to providing the best products, solutions, and programs to keep them successful,” Rob McKernan, APC’s vice president for North American channels and alliances, said in a statement.
“APC continues to advance its programs to meet the changing needs of our partners. Now more then ever, our partners have the opportunity to provide users with complete power and cooling solutions to accommodate dynamic and changing needs within their IT environment.”
