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 Silver in the Enterprise Solution category, Compugen’s VDI solution for a Western Canadian School Division enabled access by end users to a pool of virtual desktops, accommodating the unique requirements of frequent bursts of log-in activity throughout the day as students move from home to school, to library, classroom, and back. Driven by a need to control costs associated with managing the desktop images while making access available to all qualified users, the school division used Compugen’s VDI solution to achieve its interim objectives along the road to full end-user access within its budget constraints, at approximately half the anticipated fully burdened cost per end-user desktop.

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.”
