NEW YORK, April 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Logicalis US,
an international IT solutions and managed services provider
(www.us.logicalis.com), announced today that CRN, a brand of
The Channel Company, has named Logicalis to its 2017 Tech Elite 250
list for the seventh consecutive year. This annual list honors an
exclusive group of North American IT solution providers that have
earned the highest number of advanced technical certifications from
leading technology vendors scaled to their company size.
As enterprise and mid-market organizations continue along the
path toward digital enablement, the key to success in the IT
department no longer lies simply in the technology it provides, but
more importantly in the user experience IT is able to deliver. As
CIOs focus less on technology and more on becoming internal service
providers, they are relying more heavily on solution providers to
guide them in the right direction to achieve their organization's
business goals, something which significantly raises the bar for
solution providers when it comes to certifications and real-world
expertise.
"Being recognized by CRN and included in the Tech Elite
250 for the seventh year in a row provides an important
acknowledgement of Logicalis' extensive capabilities," says
Mike Martin, Senior Vice President
of Solutions and Services, Logicalis US. "By building strong
relationships with our partners, investing in the development of
our solution architects and consultants, and taking the time and
effort to attain the highest levels of technical expertise and
certification possible, Logicalis has proven itself to be a worthy
digital enablement partner and a trusted advisor to our
clients. We are honored that CRN has recognized these
efforts and has once again included Logicalis among this elite
group of solution providers."
To compile the annual list, The Channel Company's research group
and CRN editors work together to identify the most
customer-beneficial technical certifications in the North American
IT channel. Companies who have obtained these elite designations –
which enable solution providers to deliver premium products,
services and customer support – are then selected from a pool of
online applicants.
"This exclusive, ambitious group of solution providers boast
some of the most advanced IT certifications available from top
technology suppliers," says Robert
Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "They have adapted
impressively to major changes in the IT channel, especially the
shift to a more services-driven market, by expanding their skill
sets and sharpening both their technical and customer service
expertise. Congratulations to our 2017 list, whose robust
investment in their organizations has earned them yet another elite
designation—the CRN Tech Elite 250."
Coverage of the Tech Elite 250 will be featured in the April
issue of CRN and online at
