Alliant Honored with 2014 Channel Partners 360 Award


Alliant Technologies is pleased to announce it has been selected as a winner of the 2014 Channel Partners 360⁰ Business Value Awards.  The designation came from Channel Partners magazine, a resource for indirect sales channels offering IT and telecom solutions.


Fifty winners were honored during an awards ceremony on February 26 at the Spring 2014 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. These winners will be featured in Channel Partners' March digital issue, May/June print issue as well as an Immersion Center at www.channelpartnersonline.com/360. The 2014 program was underwritten by AT&T.

 
"The response to last year's inaugural Channel Partners 360° awards has been overwhelmingly positive," said Khali Henderson, Editor-in-Chief of Channel Partners. "Unlike other programs that honor size and sales, this program recognizes the business value that partners are providing to their customers from holistic solutions." We are pleased to be able to honor twice as many solutions providers that are delivering on this promise in 2014.”

 
Phil Towle, Alliant’s Senior Vice President of Sales, attended the conference to receive the award on Alliant’s behalf.  “Alliant’s Continuous Infrastructure Service™ combined with our role as a charter member of AT&T’s Emerging Business Market division has put us in a position to offer customers a comprehensive and turnkey way of consuming IT infrastructure”, said Towle.  “We are honored to be recognized by Channel Partners for this achievement.”

 
To determine the winner of Channel Partners 360⁰, companies completed an application that asked them to demonstrate how they are addressing the convergence of IT and telecom services and how they are creating business value for their customers.

 
Channel Partners editors and an expert panel evaluated and scored all applications to determine the Top 50 candidates that exemplify the Channel Partners 360° values.
