Meet the winners of the 2022 CRN Impact Awards

Last night, more than 200 decision makers from Australian IT providers celebrated stand-out IT projects, platforms and innovations at the 2022 CRN Impact Awards. 

The awards recognised standout IT projects involving Australian IT partners, integrators, MSPs, consultants and distributors.

The winners and finalists achieved everything from getting innovative products through the R&D phase and scaling them in market, to solving complex challenges and joining with fellow IT providers to create formidable alliances.

They were also part of rollouts worth hundreds of millions of dollars that will benefit tens of thousands of people, helped organisations avoid outages that would otherwise have affected hundreds of thousands of people, amongst other accomplishments.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2022 CRN Impact Awards.
