Reseller Hot 50 honours channel icons

The stakeholders of the channel gathered together for the second edition of Reseller Hot 50 Awards, which was held at H Hotel in Dubai last evening. Fifty companies in the channel were recognised and awarded for their relentless efforts in providing optimal value to their customers while simultaneously ensuring profitability for themselves and their partners.Chosen by the Reseller ME editorial team, the winners ranged from vendors, distributors, systems integrator and retailers.

The event also witnessed the launch of a novel CSR activity called ‘Imagine Possibilities’, which is a shared initiative by  StorIT and CPI Media Group. It aims to encourage the regional IT fraternity to participate in professional networking and social events that can help in generating funds for philanthropic causes such as the recent Typhoon Haiyan or any other misfortune or natural calamity.
