The top 100 Solution Providers . . . and all that jazz

CDN’s Top 100 Solution Providers – Update

Join the ITBusiness Group at a special event on Thursday, Nov. 6 as we celebrate Canada’s top solution-providers.

Computer Dealer News has commissioned Evans Research Corp. to determine the Top 75 Canadian Resellers and

the Top 25 Independent Software Vendors. The list will appear in the Nov. 21 issue of CDN.

The event will have a special jazz theme and about 200 guests are expected. Confirmed sponsorships are in place and include Hewlett-Packard, Ingram Micro and NEC Mitsubishi, Microsoft, Symantec and Maxtor.

As a value-added component, Bruce Stuart, President of ChannelCorp, a leading international educator and consultant, will moderate a three-hour afternoon session that will bring together our sponsors and a representative group formed from Canada’s Top 100 resellers. Stuart will offer insight into the characteristics that define the most successful solution-providers.

ITBusiness Group: Technology Marketing Solution Provider.

CDN’s Top 100 Solutions Provider Night is only one example of a number of events that will be brought to you by the ITBusiness Group in coming months.

Events are now being planned around the topics of Web services for readers of Computing Canada and the Role of the CIO for readers of EDGE magazine. Stay tuned for more details.

IT Business Reports

The fall IT Business Report: Storage From A to Z, picks up from where this spring’s storage issue left off, with articles focusing on storage protocols, appliances, the endurance of tape as a medium and storage security strategies. We still have some advertising opportunities available. The Report prints in November.

Following up on this year’s successful launch of the IT Business Report series, we will again be looking at the topics of security, Linux, storage and others in 2004.
