Businesspeople celebrating

TBI, Intelisys, AT&T, More Recognize Top Channel, Vendor Partners

  • Written by Craig Galbraith
  • June 12, 2019
Several companies were among those both handing out awards and receiving them.

It’s been a full year since we offered up a roundup of the top vendors and channel-partner businesses in the industry.

These are the best of the best, as determined by suppliers, master agents and more. Even we here at Channel Partners got in on the act, doling out awards to partners showing excellence in digital services delivery, top channel execs and best in show at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo.

In the gallery below, see who picked up hardware in the first half of 2018 from such companies as Intelisys, Green Cloud Technologies, TBI and many more. Some of these same businesses on the giving end of honors also were on the receiving end. Get caught up on who’s leading the way in the channel.

Of course, we couldn’t cover every acknowledgement of top partners in the business, but this hits some of the highlights. Miss our last “Best of the Best update? It’s here.

Follow executive editor @Craig_Galbraith on Twitter.
