The ASCII Group Awards Pax8 the Coveted 2019 ASCII Cup

Posted on

The ASCII Group, a membership-based community of independent North American MSPs, VARs and solution providers, is pleased to announce the winners of its annual ASCII Cup, with awards given to the ASCII Cup winner, Top 10 Vendors, and SMB IT Success Summit Top Distributor of the Year.

The awards are presented each October to technology companies that have showcased channel goodwill and a commitment to helping ASCII members grow their IT businesses. Winners are voted upon by attendees at regional events, and the Cup and awards were presented at the ASCII Success Summit on October 25, in Boston, MA.

At each regional event, ASCII Success Summit attendees vote for the vendors in 12 different categories: Best Education; Best Partner Incentives; Best Overall Presentation; Best Rapid Pitch; Best Keynote Presentation; Most Innovative Solution; Best Market Opportunity; Best Partner Support; Best Channel Program; Best Revenue Generator; Top Distributor; and Best Partner Involvement.

The winners at each Summit are selected based on the total number of votes by the MSPs, VARs and solution providers in attendance; at the end of the year, the winner of The ASCII Cup is determined by tabulating the results of all submitted ballots. The 2019 winners of The ASCII Cup, Top 10 Vendors and SMB IT Success Summit Top Distributor of the Year were announced at a private industry gathering.
