The 23rd year of the VARBusiness Annual Report Card (ARC) was a big one for Toshiba. The computer manufacturer was awarded as Company of the Year in Notebooks/Mobile Computers Category. The company also took top honors in the Support and Partnership categories. This is quite a feather in Toshiba’s cap considering the competition.
The ARC ceremony was held on August 18 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Dallas, Texas.
The VARBusiness Annual Report Card works like this: VARBusiness conducts a survey of more than 5,000 consulting organizations, systems integrators, solution providers, IT value-added resellers (VARs), and software developers. The results are compiled and the top companies in 18 major product categories are recognised for their achievements.
“We are honored that our Preferred Partners have selected us for such a distinction in two categories,” said Jeff Barney, general manager and vice president, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “This honor validates Toshiba’s commitment to serving our Preferred Partners’ needs, proving that efforts such as the reintroduction of the Satellite Pro laptop brand and increased reseller rebates are making the impact we’ve hoped for.”
“Toshiba was selected as the overall notebook winner of the 23rd annual VARBusiness annual report card for their dedication to its Preferred Partner program,” said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director of Everything Channel, the event sponsor. “In the past year Toshiba focused on improving its partners’ profitability by providing innovative and highly reliable solutions for the Preferred Partner Program.”
Among the new programmes being offered by Toshiba is a new trade-in and recycling scheme which encourages customers to recycle their old systems and get credit toward a new Toshiba product.
