Last night, we presented our Annual Report Card awards, honoring the top vendors in 18 technology categories. The highlight of this year's XChange '09 event, in Washington, DC, the ARC Awards are determined by our extensive surveying of each vendor's own solution provider partners, and scores vendors on product innovation, vendor support, and program quality.

Jennifer Bosavage has all the winners, including:

"Cisco Systems nabbed three technology categories: Networking Infrastructure - Enterprise, Unified Communications and Wireless Infrastructure... Likewise, Hewlett-Packard won three overall awards: Volume Mainstream Business Servers, Workgroup Color Printers and Midrange High-End Servers."

In addition, Keith Goodwin, Cisco's Senior VP of Worldwide Channels, won Everything Channel's top vendor executive award, the Channel Executive of the Year. (This post lists all the past Execs of the Year.)

Full report cards will be published this fall, but last year's ARC report includes all the Annual Report Cards dating back to 1996.

UPDATE: Now you can see all the action, in our ARC Awards slide show.
