The Chesapeake Regional Tech Council (CRTC) demonstrated that technology is leading the race to recovery as TechAward winners emerged with great success to demonstrate impressive growth and community service in a year hit hard by severe economic downturn. More than 300 technology executives and leaders filled The Westin Annapolis to celebrate the winners and enjoy an inspirational keynote by World Class Sailor, Television Commentator and Author, Gary Jobson.

After reviewing the nominees, the CRTC announced that the 2010 Tech Company of the Year Award went to Vision Technologies (Vision).  Based in Glen Burnie, Vision provides IT/IP support services to federal and enterprise clients in all 50 states, Europe and South America, focusing on enterprise architecture design and implementation, network infrastructure, security, help desk services, and data center support services.

Contributing to the selection was Vision's growth in 2009. Up 57%, from $35 Million to over $55 Million, Vision added over 110 employees. Vision now provides services to IT customers in 18 states on a daily basis, and delivers systems nationally on a scheduled basis for government and commercial clients.

A fourteen-member selection committee chose award winners after a rigorous two-month nomination and blind selection process. Top nominees in four categories vied for the honor last night, and one additional award was appointed.
