Bethesda, Md.-based The ASCII Group has announced the winners of its annual ASCII Cup awards program. The ASCII Cup winner, along with the rest of the Top 10 Vendors of 2021, receives an award. The organization presented the awards at the ASCII Success Summit on Dec. 9 in Anaheim, Calif. The ASCII Group is a membership-based community of independent North American MSPs, MSSPs and solution providers.
The ASCII Group presents the awards each fall to technology companies that have demonstrated channel goodwill. In addition, recipients demonstrate dedication to helping ASCII members grow their IT businesses. The winners are voted upon by ASCII members at regional events.
The ASCII Group’s Key Categories
At each ASCII Success Summit, attendees vote for vendors in 12 different categories. Those categories are as follows: Best Overall Presentation, Best Partner Incentives, Best Education, Best Keynote Presentation, Most Innovative Solution, Best Market Opportunity, Best Partner Involvement, Best Rapid Pitch, Best Channel Program, Best Revenue Generator, Best Partner Support and Best in Show.
The ASCII Group selects the winners at each event based on the total number of votes by the MSPs and solution providers in attendance. At the end of the year, the ASCII Group determines the winners by tabulating the results of all submitted ballots.
Solutions Granted is the 2021 ASCII Cup Vendor of the Year while Pax8 is the first runner up. ThreatLocker comes in third place. Nerdio comes in fourth place. Datto takes the fifth-place spot. Mailprotector takes sixth place. Huntress comes in seventh place. Acronis earns a spot in eighth place. Zomentum comes in ninth place. CaaB comes in 10th place.
Jessie Devine, Director of Channel Development at The ASCII Group, commended the winners. “We would like to extend congratulations to Solutions Granted on winning the 2021 ASCII Cup,” Devine said. She added, “We also wish to recognize the Top 10 Vendors and all the companies that participated at our Success Summits this year.”
Devine concluded, “We are appreciative of the value that all our sponsors bring to ASCII membership, and we commend their commitment to deliver state-of-the-art, channel-focused solutions.”
