Dell Wins Big in CRN’s 2017 Annual Report Card Survey

“What’s extraordinary today… is table stakes tomorrow,” John Byrne, president of Dell Global Channels, said at Global Partner Summit this past May.

That phrase has become a bit of mantra around our offices these days. And with a laser-focus on forward momentum and excellence, we find it all the more important to pause and celebrate our current success. In that vein, we are ecstatic to share some recent recognition of Dell technology and programming.

Dell was recently recognized as a Best-in-Class Channel Provider in CRN’s 2017 Annual Report Card (ARC) awards program, which is based on results from a comprehensive survey Solution Providers. Vendors with the highest ratings are named to this prestigious Annual Report Card list. This is 32nd year of the ARC program.
