SEATTLE, Dec. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2nd Watch, a leading professional services and managed cloud services company, has received the Cloud Services Provider of the Year award from Channel Partner Insight (CPI), which provides leaders of resellers, distributors, MSPs and other specialist consultancies with exclusive analysis of the fast-changing channel sector in Europe and the US. 2nd Watch received the award, which recognized the company for its work helping the largest brands adopt and use cloud infrastructure, at CPI’s 2019 Channel Innovation Awards (CIA) ceremony last night in New York City.

The CIAs are for solution providers, distributors and vendors that are galvanizing the channel and advancing new ideas and opportunities.

The Cloud Services Provider of the Year award is designed for solution providers that can demonstrate their skill and ability to drive client success. As part of its award application, 2nd Watch detailed its work with AIG, Coca-Cola North America, Covanta, and Crate & Barrel. 2nd Watch was the only winner in the category.

2nd Watch provides an array of cloud-related services, including consulting, assessment, design, migration, security, and management of clients’ IT infrastructure. 2nd Watch has been recognized by Gartner for the past three years in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure Professional and Managed Service, Worldwide.

We are excited to recognize 2nd Watch’s contributions as a leading channel player and look forward to monitoring their continued growth and success.”

“We are honored and excited to accept this award from Channel Partner Insight,” said Jeff Aden, Co-founder and EVP at 2nd Watch. “It demonstrates our clients’ successes over the past year, but more broadly our employees’ ability to innovate and execute over the past decade.
