Blue Chip Short-Listed for Prestigious CRN Awards

Sept. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Award-winning IT specialist, Blue Chip, has been short-listed in the ‘Services Provider of the Year’ category of the prestigious Computer Reseller News (CRN) Awards, 2010.
Blue Chip Managing Director, Richard Cook, said: “Being short-listed for these awards is no mean feat.  The judges look closely at every aspect of the business and then ask for validation through a case study, illustrating how we have helped one of our many customers to save money and streamline their business, whilst improving service to their own customers.  
“We also had to demonstrate how we are fundamentally qualified to receive this award, including interrogation of our business model and structure, as well as analysis of how our services have helped our customers to manage their businesses effectively and achieve significant cost savings. We are delighted to be short-listed and through to the next stage of the awards.”
Blue Chip’s entry cited its ability to deliver four core services to guide customers through a complete project lifecycle as a basis for winning the award: Support Services (helping SMEs manage their IT more effectively and bringing knowledge and expertise to IT pros within Mid-Tier businesses); Managed Services (driving down the cost of managing large estates within enterprise environments whilst generating a culture of best practice and improvement); Project Services (delivering change in IT consistently and reliably); and Training Solutions (offering training courses, consultancy services and an exam centre).  

But it is Blue Chip’s excellent customer service that it feels really sets it apart - delivered from the top down, via a service-centric Board of Directors, high ratio of Service staff and dedicated, in-house Service Desks.

Blue Chip will now go through to the second stage of judging, which will take place on 27 September behind closed doors.  Winners will be announced on November 18 at Battersea Park Events Arena, London.
