This study will help Channel Insider and eWEEK Strategic Partner recognize the best products in the channel in 2006. It’s all part of our collective efforts to encourage manufacturers to keep the channel in mind as they develop products in the future.

We’ll be publishing the results online and in eWEEK in May.

In this ballot—which should take you no more than 10 minutes to complete—we first ask that you identify the product categories you’re involved with at work. Then we’ll take you randomly to no more than five categories, where you’ll be able to rate specific products in each category.
