Acer America has been named the winner in the Notebooks/Mobile Computers category of the 2023 CRN Annual Report Card (ARC) Awards. The ARC Awards recognize the top technology vendors in the industry for their groundbreaking products, services, and partner programs. This award is considered one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry and highlights vendors committed to growing the IT channel through technology innovation and partner relations.
According to CRN, Acer dominated the Notebooks/Mobile Computers category and received the highest scores in all four criteria: Product Innovation, Support, Partnership, and Managed and Cloud Services. Acer secured a conclusive win in the mobile computing category, finishing more than 6 points ahead of the next competitor.
Philip Burger, Vice President of U.S. Channel Sales for Acer America, expressed gratitude for the recognition and emphasized the close collaboration between solution providers and Acer's sales, marketing, product, service, and operations teams. Burger stated that Acer will continue its commitment to fulfilling the needs of solution providers and commercial customers.
The ARC Awards are based on research conducted by The Channel Company, with an invitation-only survey. This year, 3,300 solution providers across North America rated 68 vendor partners on four criteria. The results provide vendors with valuable input and insight into their standing with partners, which can be implemented into their channel strategies going forward.
Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company, commended the vendors for delivering industry-leading products and services that contribute to successful channel partner relationships. He highlighted that the Annual Report Card Awards not only recognize the winners but also provide vendors with useful feedback to enhance their channel strategies.
