This new CRN list serves as a handbook of marketing programs, support and resources for channel partners from the IT vendors that put a high priority on partner marketing efforts. The guide will be featured on CRN.com and in the August issue of CRN, and will serve as a critical resource for the many solution providers now looking for marketing-savvy vendors that can help them drive demand for products and services.

Star2Star was chosen for the guide because of the company's channel-only focus and for its award-winning partner program, which includes a comprehensive partner marketing program.
