Asyst Solutions shortlisted in the CRN Channel Awards

London, UK - 28th September 2007 - Asyst Solutions has been shortlisted in the CRN Channel Awards for 'Integrator of the Year'. The City-based provider of business and accounting software decided to enter this new category following its outstanding success in integrating systems across a broad range of industries.

Judges were looking for companies that were true integration partners and could demonstrate why and how they were integrating technology for the benefit of their customers. Asyst's entry was supported by well known names such as Holt JCB, providers of heavy equipment to a range of industries including the agricultural and construction sectors, and not-for-profit organisations Nottingham University Hospitals Charity and Friends of the Elderly.

Jon Jorgensen, managing director for Asyst Solutions, commented, "Integration is the key to better business. By taking a 'joined-up' approach to streamlining processes, organisations will see automation of tasks and in many cases the elimination of data re-keying, freeing staff up to carry out more productive work.  The integration of systems has achieved much success for our customers, which I believe is testament to our shortlisting for this award."

Now in their 14th year, the Awards were open to a broad range of organisations who operate in the IT and software channel including resellers, solution providers, system builders, distributors and vendors.

According to the organisers, a record number of 'high quality' entries were received this year, which the judges said made it 'very difficult to create each shortlist'. Online voting is now taking place to help decide the overall winners. The results will be announced at a celebratory evening at Battersea Park Events Arena in London on Thursday 22nd November.
