AT&T Inc. recently announced the recipients 40 in all of its new Solution Provider Champion awards at the 2007 AT&T National Alliance Channel Kickoff meeting in Dallas.

The AT&T National Alliance Channel program focuses on providers who work with the carrier to serve midsized- to large-businesses that operate nationally.

National Solution Provider Champions combine their own program management and services capabilities with AT&Ts network management, customer care and billing, AT&T said.

Some of the recognized champions include Alliance Datacom LP, Spohn & Associates Inc., Technology Brokerage Group LLC, and Telecom Brokerage Inc.

The National AT&T Solution Provider Champions designation represents quality, reliability and excellence, said Celine Azizkhan, National Alliance Channel chief. As a result of their dedication, our National Solution Provider Champions are able to deliver on their promise to meet their customers business technology needs, and AT&T is proud to recognize the achievements of this select group.

AT&T solution providers offer a range of AT&T services, including VPNs, hosting and security services.
