Channel Standouts: The 2021 CRN Tech Elite 250
The Tech Elite 250 is comprised of solution providers in the U.S. and Canada that have the highest partner levels from the IT industry’s leading vendors including AWS, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and VMware. Here is a sampling of that list.
Making The Grade
As the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting recession forced businesses and organizations to rapidly shift the way they operate, many relied heavily on their solution providers to help them adapt to the new normal.
To do that, solution providers had to be at the top of their game, prepared to meet their customers’ rapidly evolving needs with the right technology combined with the right business skills. The solution providers best positioned to do that are the ones that maintain the highest levels of training and certification from the IT vendors they partner with and occupy the top tiers within those vendors’ partner programs.
CRN’s annual Tech Elite 250 recognizes solution providers in the U.S. and Canada who have achieved the top levels some of the leading IT vendor partner programs.
Some of the solution providers on this year’s list have made the Tech Elite 250 every year since its 2011 inauguration. They include C Spire Business in Birmingham, Ala.; Computer Design & Integration in Teterboro, N.J.; DynTek Services in Irvine, Calif.; Edge Solutions in Alpharetta, Ga.; Emtec in Jacksonville, Fla.; Sirius in San Antonio; and Structured in Clackamas, Ore.
