ConnectWise won awards for overall Best of Show and for Best Product - Software. The 2010 CompTIA Breakaway wrapped up August 12 in San Antonio, Texas; more than 1,000 industry leaders attended this year's event and voted in the six Best of Breakaway categories. In addition, Breakaway sponsors were invited to enter the PitchIT video contest by submitting three-minute videos showcasing their new products, and ConnectWise won the award for Coolest New Product.

"These awards have our entire community of partners buzzing, and for good reason," said Arnie Bellini, ConnectWise CEO. "Winning awards thanks to the votes of solution providers and other IT Nation peers is far sweeter than being selected by third-party observers. No one understands the strength of our tools, knowledge, services and support more than those who use it to run their businesses."

Earlier this month ConnectWise was named among the top products of 2010 by Business Solutions magazine, which followed several other awards earlier this year for the company, products, and executives, including: Best Channel Vendors in Managed Services by Business Solutions magazine; voted the Best Revenue Generator for the IT Industry by solution provider attendees at the LA 2010 ASCII Success Summit; receiving the MSP 100 award; CEO Arnie Bellini named to the Channel Chief list by CRN magazine for the second straight year; and Jeannine Edwards and Linda Brotherton recognized by CRN for their accomplishments in the technology industry for two years in a row.
