MindTouch wanted to recognize other companies and people that work hard to provide excellent support to their customers; to do so SupportAwards.org was created to allow people to nominate their favorite company/agents that they believe deserve recognition.

The winners of the R.E.C.S.S. for the individual industries then went on to another one week round to determine the best customer support/service department and agent across all industries.
