2 weeks until SolarWinds’ Annual IT Pro Day Awards
Excitement grows for the much anticipated SolarWinds’ Annual IT Pro Day Awards 2021.
Few will dispute that this year has placed a historic amount of pressure on the IT Leaders, who have had to implement remote work strategies, accelerate cloud migration, and face an unprecedented increase in cyberattacks. With this in mind, it is more important than ever that those IT leaders are recognized. Therefore, Solarwinds has launched nominations for its second IT Pro Day Awards program to celebrate these individuals. SolarWinds will announce the winners during IT Professionals Day on 21st September 2021.
“IT Pro Day will always be about celebrating the unsung heroes of IT. After more than a year of being front and centre and playing a pivotal role in some of the biggest shifts for businesses around the world, this year our award program is designed to honour those individuals who say ‘Bring IT on’ as they continue to take on whatever is thrown their way,” said Chrystal Taylor, Head Geek™ at SolarWinds. “The SolarWinds IT Pro Day Awards program, now in its second year, is an opportunity to recognize the knowledge, expertise, and creativity that tech pros exhibit every day to tackle the hurdles they face and thank them for their hard work as they continue to support businesses through digital transformation.”
