Toronto, Ont. – October 11, 2011 – Compugen Inc., Canada’s largest privately owned IT solutions and services provider, is pleased to announce major peer recognition at 2011 Channel Elite Awards ceremony held in Toronto on 29 September 2011.

Winning Gold in the Enterprise Solution category, Compugen’s managed desktop solution for a Western Canadian enterprise was delivered by Compugen’s Managed Services Team. Its purpose was to allow 4000 users in 60 locations in Northwestern Canada to experience more reliable computing, and it encompassed the complete lifecycle of an asset from acquisition through end-of-life disposition, assisted by an innovative leasing arrangement negotiated through Compugen Finance. Aggressive service SLAs and planned refresh cycles have improved the customer’s efficiency and saved considerable time and money.

In response to this recognition, Harry Zarek, Compugen’s CEO and President, said, “We acknowledge with pride the peer recognition that our industry partners provide through these awards, which recognize a number of significant achievements for Compugen and its customers with three distinct awards. These achievements represent the work of talented teams of great individuals, with the backing of the whole Compugen organization. A special thank you to our vendor partners who work with our specialist teams to design the solutions, and to our services and managed services organizations that deliver them.”
