Channel Partners magazine, a resource for indirect sales channels offering IT and telecom systems and services, is pleased to announce Stratosphere Networks has been selected as a winner of the 2015 Channel Partners 360° Business Value Awards.

Fifty winners were honored during an awards ceremony on March 16 at the Spring 2015 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. These winners will be featured on a Channel Partners Immersion Center at https://www.channelpartnersonline.com.

"The response to the third year of the Channel Partners 360° awards was overwhelmingly positive," Art Wittmann, content director of Channel Partners, said. "Unlike other programs that honor size and sales, this program recognizes the business value that partners are providing to their customers from holistic systems and services."

Stratosphere Networks is an IT managed service provider based out of Evanston, Illinois. They focus on delivering comprehensive technology services and solutions to continually meet their clients' needs. They also provide support and maintenance to businesses nationwide, with both in-house and remote capabilities.

"We're very pleased to have received the Channel Partners 360° award once again," Steve Melchiorre and Kevin Rubin, managing partners at Stratosphere Networks, said. "We see our clients as more than just numbers in our sales reports, so to be recognized for our efforts in the business value that we provide them is a gratifying feeling. We plan on continuing this trend for years to come."

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.

Channel Partners editors and an expert panel evaluated and scored all applications to determine the Top 50 candidates that exemplify the Channel Partners 360° values.
