SNS has won multiple awards in recognition of its innovative technology solutions for creative media production teams.

At SNS, we are passionate about empowering creative teams with the tools they need to create amazing content, faster, from anywhere. Seeing the impact of our work acknowledged by esteemed organizations in the media and entertainment industry over the years is truly an honor. 

While these awards are certainly gratifying, we view them less as bragging rights and more as validation that we’re on the right track, developing solutions that resonate with the needs of our customers. And for that, we are incredibly proud.

Here’s a look inside the trophy case at SNS.

NAB Show Product of the Year Awards

The NAB Show Product of the Year Awards highlight standout products and technologies in the media and entertainment industry. We’re thrilled to have earned seven (7) NAB Show Product of the Year Awards in recent years, including recognition across various categories such as cloud computing, storage, media automation, and remote production.

Cloud Computing & Storage Product of the Year Award Winner, 2022-2025

SNS has earned a win in this category since 2022.

It started with the EVO Suite earning the title in 2022, then EVO Cloud won the same category in 2023, making headlines as SNS’s first fully cloud-hosted workflow solution. The following year, SNS clenched another win in recognition of the travel-friendly edit server and cloud edge device, MOD powered by EVO, completing a “three-peat” in the category.

In 2025, SNS continued the tradition, earning its fourth win in Cloud Computing & Storage. This time, the award went to EVO Shared Storage, the high-performance shared storage solution purpose-built for creative media production teams.

“This string of victories is a tremendous honor and a testament to the relentless innovation and hard work of our team,” said Ryan Stoutenborough, president at SNS. “It demonstrates our commitment to developing on-premise and cloud-based solutions that empower a collaborative and efficient workflow for content creation.”

Media Supply Chain, Automation, & Management Product of the Year Award Winner, 2025

EVO’s built-in transcoder and automations engine, Slingshot, was a winner in Media Supply Chain, Automation, and Management at the NAB Show 2025 Product of the Year Awards.

Included at no additional cost, Slingshot automates repetitive manual tasks like media backup, sync, transfer, replication, indexing, transcoding, and more. By automating a variety of processes in the media supply chain, Slingshot empowers teams to dedicate their time to high-value creative work instead of repetitive, manual tasks. 

Remote Production Product of the Year Award Winner, 2022, 2024

Pioneering shared storage solutions for media professionals since 1998, SNS witnessed the dramatic rise of remote production workflows and took immediate action. We’re proud to be at the forefront of this shift in the industry, bringing innovative solutions that help creative teams collaborate across any distance.

In recognition of the importance of remote production workflows and the innovation that powers them, SNS earned NAB Show’s Remote Production Product of the Year Award in 2024 and 2022 for MOD powered by EVO and the EVO Suite, respectively.

“Modern media production happens everywhere,” said Eric Newbauer, CTO and co-founder at SNS. “We have continually evolved our workflow solutions to enable teams to collaborate effectively and produce exceptional content, faster, regardless of location.”
