The Business & Technology Supplier of the Year is awarded to a supplier or distributor that has shown significant growth year over year and is fully engaged and invested in day-to-day operations with Novation as well as its Alliance staff to ensure the success of their contracts. Specific criteria used to evaluate awardees includes sales growth, member usage, participation in Alliance events, overall engagement with Novation in operations and management of the contract, and support of Alliance members through a field-based sales team.
