After carefully evaluating nearly 300 individual product entries, the Windows IT Pro judging panel has selected the finalists for the Best of TechEd 2012 Awards. Editors, authors, and technical editors from Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazine will be interviewing vendors onsite at TechEd 2012 in Orlando to complete the judging process and select winners in each of the categories listed below. Products will be evaluated based on strategic importance to the market, competitive advantage, and value to customers.
In addition to the categories you see here, we will be choosing a Breakthrough Product at the show. TechEd attendees will also be able to vote for their own favorite products with the Attendees’ Pick Award. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony to be held on Thursday, June 14, 2012.
Congratulations to our finalists!
