Advantage COO Receives 2025 Technology Advisor Award

Technology Advisor 101 Awards Recognize Excellence in Tech Purchasing—Advantage COO Eric Wansong Among 2025 Honorees

The Technology Advisor 101 Awards highlight top industry leaders who make a profound impact on the rapidly evolving landscape of technology purchasing. These individuals are celebrated for their agnostic approach to vendors and distributors, with a relentless focus on delivering exceptional customer experience and results. With 84% of IT buyers relying on third-party partners today, these professionals play an indispensable role in the operations of organizations around the world.

We are proud to announce that Eric Wansong, Chief Operating Officer of Advantage, has been inducted into this select group of honorees as a 2025 Technology Advisor 101 Award recipient. Channel Futures has recognized Eric’s exceptional leadership and dedication to Advantage’s mission of optimizing connectivity lifecycle management services for global enterprises—a distinctive value proposition that has solidified Advantage as the world’s most globally sophisticated tech advisory firm.

Under Eric's leadership, Advantage has experienced significant growth and success. His efforts to streamline operations have allowed our teams the ability to efficiently scale and expand key service offerings, including a cutting-edge expense management program featuring automated bill pay solutions, and a comprehensive service desk program, enabling full end-to-end support for Advantage clients' entire connectivity estate. Eric has also been instrumental in the launch of Command Center℠ 2.0, a newly enhanced iteration of Advantage’s proprietary technology lifecycle management platform, which Channel Futures dubs Advantage’s “secret sauce” for overseas success.

Reflecting on this recognition, Eric shared, "I appreciate the recognition, but it's the entire Advantage team and our application of our Technology Lifecycle Optimization Methodology that is really worth recognizing. I've always believed in working for my team rather than the other way around, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see how the collective effort has led to such remarkable outcomes. The positive mindset and proactive spirit we've cultivated at Advantage have been key drivers of our success, and I’m truly grateful to be part of the team."
