AVG Technologies, a leading provider of Internet security software, today announced it has been named a winner of Everything Channel’s ‘The Best of IT ChannelVision Awards’ for Best System Builder Solution: Software. The awards are a proven springboard to increased brand awareness and product credibility in the IT channel.

The IT ChannelVision Awards are the only awards in the channel voted solely by the attending system builders and solution provider decision-makers who directly influence their customers’ technology buying decisions. After two days of boardroom presentations and one-on-one meetings, the decision-makers vote on the products and services presented at the show.

AVG was selected as a winner because it provides its channel partners with innovative technology and the necessary support to ensure companies can offer superior performance in the field of data security and privacy. AVG’s partners and distributors are authorized to manage multi-tier relationships and are specially trained in the AVG product line to provide local dealer, customer and technical support.

“The channel has become an increasingly important part of our business. AVG has made major investments to meet the unique needs of our partners and support them in successfully delivering on their customers’ security needs,” said Rick Carlson, managing director of AVG’s North America operations. “We are extremely pleased with this latest recognition, a proof point that our commitment to the channel is producing concrete results. We will continue to work closely with our worldwide partners, to best meet business and technological objectives.”

AVG has also recently garnered the top spot of being voted the #1 Alternative Brand by VARBusiness Magazine, a strategic print component of Everything Channel’s integrated media platform. Winning channel-oriented accolades further validates AVG’s strong dedication to delivering unparalleled solutions and support to its partners.
