Each year, the results of these surveys create the ARC, which reflects the level of commitment vendors have to the channel and to their solution provider partners. "We are very excited to bring top channel executives and leading solution providers together for the Annual Report Card event; it is one of the most eagerly awaited channel events of the year," said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel. "Being named an Annual Report Card Company of the Year is one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry. In addition, we will announce which technology executive will be named Everything Channel's Executive of the Year. We look forward to this prominent event."
