ViewSonic Named a Winner for CRN’s 2023 Tech Innovator Award

Brea, CA (Jul 18, 2023) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, announces that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named the company a Winner for the 2023 CRN Tech Innovator Awards. ViewSonic is being recognized for the LDP216-121 all-in-one Direct View LED Display in the Displays Category.

This annual award program showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel across 37 different technology categories, in key areas ranging from cloud to storage to networking to security. To determine the 2023 winners, a panel of CRN editors reviewed hundreds of vendor entries—including solution provider testimonials—using multiple criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner needs.

ViewSonic LDP216-121

The ViewSonic^® 216-inch LDP216-121 is a 4K All-in-One Direct View LED Display and offers the latest development in LED packaging technology, with Chip-on-Board (COB) LED panels that feature multiple LED flip chips bonded directly to the substrate without bonding wires. Compared to Surface Mounted Device (SMD) technology, COB LEDs provides ultra-fine pixel pitch, enhanced resolution, and higher luminous efficiency with less power consumption. With jaw-dropping screen size, ultra-slim bezel, and detachable system control box, the LDP216-121 provides a stylish, minimalist design perfect for corporate lobbies and boardrooms, school auditoriums and gymnasiums, retail spaces and more. Installation can be done in either portrait or landscape mode, and for even more versatility, two of the LDP216-121 displays can be easily installed side-by-side to form an ultra-wide 32:9 video wall of epic proportions.

“CRN’s annual Tech Innovator Awards acknowledge technology vendors committed to new and updated products that are creating the biggest opportunities for the solution providers and strategic service providers working on the from lines with customers,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “Congratulations to each one of this year’s CRN Tech Innovator Award winners. We are proud to recognize these best-in-class vendors that are driving transformation and innovation in the IT space.”

“To be awarded with a win from CRN’s Tech Innovator Awards is a great achievement for us, especially with the LDP216-121 DvLED display,” said Jeff Volpe, president of ViewSonic. “Our team worked hard to develop this product. We wanted to bring an eye-catching and intense display to market that can be deployed easily and provide an additional portfolio boost to the offerings of our reseller partners.”

The Tech Innovator Awards will be featured in the August issue of CRN and can be viewed online at crn.com/techinnovators.

Demand for Visual Solutions Drives Strong First Quarter for ViewSonic Canada

May 5, 2022

Advancements in hybrid work and EdTech fueling demand for collaboration solutions, driving revenue growth for ViewSonic and its channel partners

Toronto, ON (May 5, 2022) – ViewSonic Canada, a subsidiary of ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, today announced strong first quarter performance driven by demand for its visual solutions across hybrid work and EdTech markets. In the transition back to the office and classroom, visual engagement solutions that connect people wherever they are, have proven to be critical enablers. This demand accompanies ViewSonic’s best-in-class partner program and one of the industry’s widest arrays of visual solutions encompassing hardware, software, service integration and best-in-class support. To support accelerating market demand, the ViewSonic Partner Program has been continually expanded with financial rewards and incentives to help drive partner growth at every stage of business.

“With 40% year-over-year growth, and 33% year-over-year for the quarter, our visual solutions are proven enablers for anywhere operations, digital learning and creating the digital spaces that are so essential for collaboration, content creation and sharing,” says Deidre Deacon, General Manager and Channel Chief for ViewSonic Canada. “From our strong partner network and robust inventory to more competitive pricing and expanded channel programs, we’ve exceeded growth expectations in Q1 and are on track for continued performance as we look towards closing the second half. Creating more opportunities for national, regional and market-focused VARs is our focus as we deepen our reach into growth markets for visual solutions and help drive partner profitability.”

In the first quarter, ViewSonic introduced a range of new visual solutions across all categories including commercial displays, interactive flat panel displays and whiteboarding software, desktop and gaming monitors, and projection display systems. The company’s depth and breadth of displays include the latest interactive and touch technology, in screen sizes for every application – from 15”to 98”. The company also expanded its bounty programs to include both virtual and in-person demo options that can be booked online 24/7, providing even more flexibility and paths for partners to build margin.

Gartner forecasts that by the end of 2023, 40% of organizations will move to anywhere operations blending virtual and physical experiences for increased productivity and customer reach. With its breadth of collaboration solutions that unlock the potential of anywhere collaboration and distributed workflows, ViewSonic and its partners are positioned for continued growth. Financial incentives at the core of its channel program provides ViewSonic’s partners with monthly rewards and rebates on focused lines of business, volume pricing opportunities and access to extensive digital resources through an accessible, easy to use online partner portal.

"As the pandemic subsides, innovative new digital spaces where people can interact are emerging across hybrid work, e-learning and commercial markets,” says Deacon. “We’re only starting to scratch the surface on realizing the true potential of collaboration solutions in connecting people in these new digital spaces, driving content creation, sharing and productivity. To support this innovation and enable continued growth, we’re expanding our national sales team with the addition of a new senior team member. Based in Vancouver, B.C., Don Kwan will support help us reach aggressive revenue targets in enterprise, commercial and education sectors for the western region. With a strong first quarter in the books and a track record of year-over-year growth, our team couldn’t be better positioned or more excited for the opportunities ahead.”

To support accelerating market demand, the ViewSonic Partner Program has been expanded with financial rewards and incentives to help drive partner growth at every stage of business.

ViewSonic’s industry leading collaboration solutions, accompanied by our partner program that scales to support all business needs, enables national, regional and market-focused VARs more opportunity to expand into growth markets where they may not previously have had access.”

In its Strategic Trends for 2021, Gartner forecasts that by the end of 2023, 40% of organizations will move to anywhere operations blending virtual and physical experiences for increased productivity and customer reach. With deep channel offerings and performance rich collaboration solutions that unlock the potential of distributed workflows crucial to today’s workplaces, ViewSonic and its partners are positioned for continued growth at a pace that YOY has outperformed the monitors category*.

"I am really pleased with the new ViewSonic partner program and portal," said Matt Parmet-Romanko, Vice President of Operations for Parmetech Inc. "Submitting SPIFFs is easier now and we can self-serve whenever we need to. The special pricing is awesome and the view into my customers' activity is something we've been waiting for. When I place an order, the portal will update me once it has shipped, freeing up my reps to continue to focus on their selling activities."

It specializes in providing industry-leading office equipment & technology, print management and designing workflow improvements for its clients. On its partnership with ViewSonic, Parmet-Romanko says, "We've had a lot of success with ViewSonic's ViewBoard IFP50 Series, large format, interactive flat panels. We will continue to expand our offerings of ViewSonic's interactive displays in education, focused on K-12 where we see opportunities to expand. ViewSonic's products have also enabled us to go after new markets. I can trust anyone at ViewSonic to go in front of my customers, completely comfortable that the customer will be handled well. ViewSonic is also very knowledgeable in the display space and responsive to our needs. If we have issues, ViewSonic will stand by us. We really feel like we're part of the ViewSonic family."

ViewSonic conducted a partner survey in Q1 2021 to rank the channel program features of most importance to its partners: 92% of respondents highlighted the need for access to on-demand, virtual and in-person demo programs that can be booked online 24/7. All respondents surveyed agreed on the importance of being able to grow within a tiered partner program structure specifically geared to scale and support business needs.
