WEST KINGSTON, RI -- (Marketwire) -- 03/13/13 -- Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, was named a 2013 Channel Champion by CRN in the overall category of Power Protection and Management at an awards ceremony during the XChange Solution Provider conference on March 12, 2013 in Orlando, FL. Schneider Electric has won this honor for the 20th consecutive year. CRN's annual Channel Champions awards are based on the results of a series of surveys conducted with top solution providers; the awards are presented to vendors receiving the best ratings in the areas of technological satisfaction, support satisfaction and financial benefits.

The CRN Channel Champions survey is the largest and broadest-based technology integrator market study in the industry, measuring the overall perceptions of vendor products and services by IT solution providers. The end result is a list of the most partner-friendly vendors in the channel, serving as a valuable resource for technology integrators when evaluating vendors and their programs.

"Winning CRN's Channel Champions awards for 20 years is an incredible honor for Schneider Electric and demonstrates the unwavering commitment we have toward the channel in providing the best capabilities, products and support available in the market," said Rob McKernan, president, North America, Schneider Electric IT Business. "Our many strong, long-standing channel partnerships speak to our dedication in growing and changing to meet the evolving needs of the market without sacrificing the excellence that our partners have come to expect, and we thank all of our channel partners for the privilege of working with them so collaboratively through the years."

"To receive a Channel Champion award is a distinct honor," said Kelley Damore, Senior Vice President and Editorial Director, CRN. "The win is a testament to a vendor's dedication to supporting and maintaining a strong channel program. As such, this award is a direct result of their ability to develop and grow solid, mutually beneficial relationships with partners. We congratulate these leading technology vendors on this recognition."

A sample list of Channel Champions award winners and related study will be published in the April 2013 issue of CRN magazine and online at www.CRN.com.
