About the Event

Here comes DIGITAL EDGE ENTERPRISE CHANNELS SUMMIT & AWARDS 2022. This annual event strives to galvanize and recognize India’s enterprise channel entities comprising of IT Distributors, VADs (Value Added Distributors), VARs (Value Added Resellers) and Enterprise Solution Partners for making their contributions towards transforming India into a digital power house. India’s IT channels have played significant role in delivering solutions to enterprises & organizations enabling them automate their internal and external processes. Also, the role of technology vendors is equally central as it is them who provide products & systems via Channels that go into creating data centers and IT infrastructure as a whole. They put huge resources and efforts into training and adequately skilling distributors, sub-distributors, VARs and enterprise solution partners. It is the perfect synergy that allows them into addressing the automation market here in India. But then, it’s the technology leaders – CIOs and CISOs – who release orders for procuring the required IT products from channels – and at times from distributors directly – and their final deployments at designated sites. Therefore, Digital Edge aspires to bring Channels, Vendors and Technology Leaders at a single platform, where latest technologies are discussed and best practices are deliberated upon, and where they’re publicly recognized and felicitated with citations and awards. Interestingly, channels would have the ultimate say in recommending the names of CIOs/CISOs for getting recognized with awards.

Why Should You Attend?

The event, which primarily recognizes and felicitates Channel Entities, Vendors and Channel-Recommended CIOs/CISOs, provides a broader platform where they can exchange views, ideas, experiences and thoughts, which would further fine-tune the contours of the digital journey of India. The DIGITAL EDGE ENTERPRISE CHANNELS SUMMIT & AWARDS 2022 would have several keynote speakers, who would talk on the way IT industry has been evolving, especially during the COVID-stricken times. The event brings in great opportunities where IT Channels, Vendors and CIOs/COSOs can strengthen their existing relations and mint newer ones with members of the IT fraternity in the country. The event also stages several panel discussions on latest technologies and trends shaping the enterprise IT world. Let the entire IT ecosystem feel and celebrate the sense of togetherness at the Digital Edge Enterprise Channels event!
