The Top Midmarket Product winners were selected through a nomination process from Everything Channel editorial, Solution Providers and Chief Information Officers (CIOs) of midsize companies. The groups collectively nominated more than ten products per category based on how well their technology fits a midsize enterprise, customer service and the technology vendor's commitment to Solution Providers serving midmarket customers. For each category, a smaller subset of the nominating group selected the winner and runner-up. All the winning products were approved by Everything Channel editorial.

"With midmarket IT spending growing, vendors are aggressively targeting the CIOs of midsize organizations," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "The vendors on this year's list have positioned their technology for midsize enterprises and have proved their commitment to the technology channel. Congratulations to all of the vendors on this year's list."
