ManageEngine announced this year’s “Time to Say Thank You” contest honoring hard-working sysadmins around the world as part of the 14th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day on Friday, July 26, 2013.
Users can show love for their sysadmins with a public declaration of “thanks” and give them a chance to win a $1,000 gift card. Visit sysadminday.manageengine.com before July 25, 2013, to enter.
When was the last time your system crashed or a virus scare swept through your company? If you can’t remember, thank your sysadmin. Wherever critical devices and apps run flawlessly, day in and day out, you’ll find sysadmins operating behind the scenes to make life easy, simple and smooth for the rest of us. SysAdmin Day is the time to bring these workplace heroes front and center and express our genuine appreciation for all they do on our behalf.
"Sysadmins are the people in the trenches, working their butts off to make the rest of us look good. They deserve kudos," said Raj Sabhlok, president of ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corp. "The response to our SysAdmin Day contest held in the US, UK, Australia and Canada last year was tremendous. So this year, we decided to make the contest global and open it up to sysadmins worldwide. We hope to get a lot more participation from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America. After all, hard-working sysadmins in those regions deserve kudos, too."
"I am thrilled that ManageEngine is joining the celebration. ManageEngine’s 'Time to Say Thank You' contest is a perfect way to bring recognition to sysadmins," said Ted Kekatos, founder of System Administrator Appreciation Day. "Due to the nature of their responsibilities, many sysadmins work long hours, nights and weekends. SysAdmin Day was started as a simple way to celebrate the profession."
