The Best In Show award was one of only two awards given out at the end of the event. The Best In Show award recipient was selected by the 770-plus MSP and VAR attendees of the show out of the products and solutions exhibited by more than 45 vendors at the three-day Autotask CommunityLive 2011 event.

"We are honored that Axcient was chosen for this award by the MSPs, VARs, and IT Solution Providers at the Annual Autotask event in Miami," said Justin Moore, CEO of Axcient. "Winning Best in Show is a testament to the quality of our innovative product, our commitment to our partners, and the tireless dedication of our team."

Autotask and Axcient recently completed an integration of the two market leading solutions that enables MSPs to seamlessly open and access Axcient backup and recovery events through the service tickets in the Autotask PSA tool. This automation saves MSPs time and money and allows them a deeper insight into their data protection events.

"Axcient made a tremendous impression at our event," said Len DiCostanzo, Sr. VP of Autotask. "They showed us, and the broader Autotask Community, that Axcient is investing in its partnership with Autotask for the benefit of our mutual customers."
