But all this hasn’t slowed the pace of IT innovation. From well-established IT giants to startups with breakthrough ideas, vendors have continued to develop products that meet the rapidly evolving needs of their customers and channel partners amid such megatrends as digital transformation and business automation, cloud computing, hybrid work practices, the incorporation of AI into business decision-making and the growing wave of sophisticated cyberattacks. So which new and updated products are creating the biggest opportunities for solution providers who work on the front lines with customers? To help soution providers identify products that are truly innovative and offer value for their customers, the 2023 CRN Tech Innovator Awards showcase offerings that can provide game-changing advances in IT—and partner growth opportunities—across a broad range of technologies. The winners and finalists were chosen by CRN staff from among over 250 applications.
