The Distri-Award from IT-Business provides IT resellers and system houses with a neutral assessment of which supplier offers the best overall range. This year, IT-Business is once again conducting the survey together with IDC, the world's leading provider of market information in the field of information technology and telecommunications. The survey will run until 30.09.2012.
