The 2020 CRN Impact Awards finalists revealed!

CRN is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2020 CRN Impact Awards, which span 11 categories charting success in business transformation, empowering deployments of networking solutions, infrastructure, new software, security architectures and more. 

Formal judging to determine the winners is now underway, with a panel of industry experts selected by CRN pouring over the finalist entries now.
