The awards, in over 25 categories, are distributed to leading players, who have shown competency in producing, integrating, or distributing top-notch solutions and services. Selection for awards is based on jury review of nominations given by partners and clients of the respective winners and editorial judgments of The Integrator, one of the prominent publications of JNS Media. The well-organized gala awards night followed by dinner had given space and time for channel partners to network and enhance their business opportunities for the months and years to come!

“JNS Media perceives these occasions as the most appropriate opportunity to raise its forte further and reconnect with its patrons. The massive strength we had amassed from the teamwork would be invested in similar and bigger events,” said Vivek Sharma, CEO, JNS Media International.

“We are coming up with SME Champions – a leviathan confluence of the small, medium, and large enterprises – and it gives an exceptional opportunity for tech-solutions providers, financial institutions, and logistic service providers to understand the needs of their enterprise customers and tailor solutions according to it. This most dynamic medley of value exchange is fully backed by publications, gala award nights, Golf tournaments, and CSR initiatives.”

JNS Media hints at a resetting of the agenda of VAR, a pioneer publication of the volume-based ICT market, also empowering it to cover the electronics and telecom arena beyond the conventional IT segment.

These awards are the most comprehensive in the region in terms of recognitions across different ICT technology solution segments. They are also the only one focused on the value add ICT segment. The awards survey was hosted online and saw a significant rise in number of votes from the SI database across the region vis-a-vis past years. The winners were decided on the maximum votes polled in each category by participating nominees. A modest weightage was also given to the nomination write-ups submitted at the time of nominations.

There were also a few Editor’s choice awards that decided select recognitions based on market intelligence available to the editorial team.

The Awards are held by The Integrator magazine, the unrivalled leader in channel publications catering to the value add ICT segment and which is published by JNS Media International MFZE. The Integrator Awards come under the broader banner of the ICT Champion Awards initiative that include the highly popular VAR COC (Choice of Channel Awards) that have concluded 10 editions to date.

Mr. Vivek Sharma, CEO of JNS Media International and publisher of The Integrator said, “The Integrator ICT Champion Awards follow a comprehensive methodology in helping recognize the best performances over the past year. It is heartening to see that the ICT value Business is continuing to show resilience and growth, which these awards applaud.”

One of the highlights of the evening’s gala event also included a brilliant but brief sketching session by a gifted young artist from Zambia that was much appreciated by attendees. Mr. Victor, the artist dealt with his handicap of losing his power of hearing at the tender age of three and has discovered his talents with the paintbrush. The organizers of the Awards are also thankful to Mr. Jude Pereira, Managing Director, Nanjgel Solutions who announced his willingness to sponsor the further education of Mr. Victor in a wonderful and spontaneous gesture.
