Channel Partners magazine, a resource for indirect sales channels offering IT and telecom solutions, is pleased to announce that Converged Communication Systems and Stratosphere Networks has been selected as a winner of the 2014 Channel Partners 360° Business Value Awards.

Fifty winners were honored during an awards ceremony on Feb. 26 at the Spring 2014 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 https://www.channelpartnersonline.com. The 2014 program was underwritten by AT&T.

"The response to last year's inaugural Channel Partners 360° awards has been overwhelmingly positive," said Khali Henderson, Editor-in-Chief of Channel Partners. "Unlike other programs that honor size and sales, this program recognizes the business value that partners are providing to their customers from holistic solutions." We are pleased to be able to honor twice as many solutions providers that are delivering on this promise in 2014."

Converged Communication Systems and Stratosphere Networks prides itself on offering comprehensive technology services for business of all sizes and industries. They provide full maintenance and support, including desktop support, business continuity, disaster recovery, remote and on-site support, network monitoring and ongoing maintenance services. Stratosphere Networks also offers proactive 24/7/365 and on-site technical support.

To determine the winner of Channel Partners 360°, companies completed an application that asked them to demonstrate how they are addressing the convergence of IT and telecom services and how they are creating business value for their customers.

"We are proud to be recognized once again for the Channel Partners 360 Award for our innovation, solutions and customer focus," said Kevin Rubin and Steve Melchiorre, managing partners of Converged Communication Systems and Stratosphere Networks. "Our dedication and commitment to IT, cloud and telecom services allows us to provide the unique skills and services each client needs to be successful and grow in their industry."
