Manage Protect is finalist in Best Emerging Technology Initiative category of ARN IT Industry Awards 2010

Online security and productivity SaaS provider, Manage Protect, has been selected by a panel of industry experts as a finalist at this year’s ARN IT Industry Awards in the Best Emerging Technology Initiative category.

The ARN IT Industry Awards celebrate the ICT industry’s best vendors, distributors and resellers, as well as recognising green channel excellence and personal innovation within the industry.

The finalists in the Best Emerging Technology Initiative category were Citrix Systems, Eaton, EMC, Veeam and Manage Protect.

Manage Protect was the only SMB-sized finalist as well as the only Australian-owned finalist. The other finalists were all US-headquartered global companies, with three being NASDAQ or NYSE listed public companies with employees numbering in the thousands.

Andrew Johnson, Manage Protect’s Managing Director said, “We are proud to be a finalist in this important Best Emerging Technology Initiative category and associated with such high calibre organisations. I believe that as a three year old Australian start-up, Manage Protect is punching above its weight. Our result in the ARN IT Industry Awards is recognition of our expertise and capability.”

Manage Protect was recognised as the Victorian winner of the iAwards Start-up category in August this year.

“This award is another validation and recognition of our best-of-breed SaaS services and our 100 per cent channel partner strategy,” concluded Johnson.
