PSNI Global Alliance, the global network of premier technology integrators and service providers, have awarded Shure, Biamp, Samsung and WESCO | Anixter its “Quality Cup” award for 2021 following a year of outstanding AV industry contributions.
“During the pandemic challenges of the past year, PSNI’s Preferred Vendor Partners have once again excelled, and these accolades reinforce the incredible work and support they continue to provide to our CSP network around the globe,” said Chris Miller, Executive Director for PSNI Global Alliance. “It is through their on-going commitment and dedication to the highest operational standards that we continue to grow together.”
The awards, based on the results of a global ranking survey of PSNI Certified Solution Providers (CSPs) worldwide, measured overall satisfaction in key areas of PSNI’s Preferred Vendor Partners (PVPs) performance.
