World class #vendors to be recognised at #WVA12

Calling all telecom hardware and software companies. Entries for the 2012 World Vendor Awards are now open!

The third annual World Vendor Awards build of the success of 2010 and 2011, recognising excellence and innovation amongst the companies driving forwards the global telecom industry.

For 2012 we have a new look, new venue and most importantly a thoroughly refreshed list of categories, recognising the big issues including cloud, small cells, and revenue assurance.

The World Vendor Awards are a unique proposition, the only awards aimed solely at telecom vendors, recognising their successes and most importantly using the power of Total Telecom to promote this success to a global audience of telecom operators and service providers, the buyers of your equipment and services.

This year we are looking for even more entries, from even more companies, those who think they can do as well or better than Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Comviva, Ciena, and IMIMobile, to name just 5 of last years winners.

Now is the time to get writing, so visit the website www.worldvendorawards.com to view the categories and download the brochure.

And remember, if the successes of telecoms hardware and software companies matter to you, why not talk to us about sponsoring the 2012 awards. You will not only benefit from positioning your company as a leader in the sector, but will benefit from a fantastic marketing campaign that will position your brand to the entire global telecom industry - have a look at last years Winners Brochure to get more of an idea of who has been involved.
