PHOENIX - Feb. 28, 2013 - Channel Partners magazine, which focuses on the communications industry's indirect sales channel, is pleased to announce that Converged Communication Systems have been selected as a winner of the inaugural Channel Partners 360° Awards.

Twenty-five winners were honored during an awards ceremony on Feb. 27 at the Spring 2013 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. These winners will be featured in Channel Partners' March digital issue, May/June print issue as well as an Immersion Center at www.channelpartnersonline.com. The 2013 program was underwritten by AT&T.

"Unlike other programs that honor size and sales, the Channel Partners 360° Awards recognizes channel partners who are taking a holistic approach to delivery technology solutions that create business value for their customers," said Khali Henderson, Editor-in-Chief of Channel Partners. "We are pleased that our first honorees include an outstanding group of solutions providers."

To determine the winner of Channel Partners 360°, companies created a "Partner Profile" that detailed how the applicant addresses the convergence of IT and telecom services and how the company creates business value for its customers. Channel Partners editors and an expert panel evaluated all Partner Profiles to determine the top 25 candidates that exemplify the Channel Partners 360° values.

"We appreciate the recognition of this award, especially being in a class in which only the top 25 partners in the United States were honored. The Channel Partners 360 award focuses on the breadth and depth of a provider's services, something that holds tremendous value to the end user. Our clients continually demand the one stop IT solution, and we consistently deliver new and innovative solutions to meet their demands," said Kevin Rubin and Steve Melchiorre, Managing Partners of Converged Communication Systems.
