AVG Awards Gala celebrates exceptional partners of 2014

Our hugely successful Cloud Summit in Phoenix for partners and managed services providers (MSPs) came to a fitting conclusion with a dinner to celebrate the winners of the AVG 2014 Awards Gala.  AVG’s first ever event of this kind celebrated top performing partners from all over the world that were judged to have shown outstanding commitment, entrepreneurship and technical proficiency in protecting and managing their customers’ critical business systems during 2014.  It was a great thrill to be able to honor so many partners for their exceptional contribution to our success this year and I am proud to hold up their accomplishments as standards of excellence for every partner to follow.

We had over 150 nominations from around the world contesting awards in eight categories. Each nomination was judged by our panel of AVG CloudCare™ and Managed Workplace® experts.  I saw dozens of examples of the highest caliber from familiar, long-standing names to new cloud-oriented start-ups working on some highly innovative and exciting projects across the globe.

Winners were selected on the basis of such criteria as their outstanding levels of professionalism to customers, their market influence and their exemplary use of the AVG cloud-based security and remote monitoring & management (RMM) business solutions portfolio.
