"The channel is constantly evolving as existing models are being tested and new ones are created," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, UBM Channel.  "All the companies on this year's list have only been in business since 1999.  Some have transformed their business to meet the demands of a changing market.  Others didn't have the baggage of transitioning from hardware to services to recurring revenue and have been able to build a business on an entirely new model and leverage new technology platforms.  Regardless of how they got here, we congratulate each company for making this year's list."

"We are indeed honored to have again been included on what has become one of the industry's coveted tributes," said Chris Greendale, Founder and CEO, Cloud Technology Partners.  "It underscores not only the incredible success Cloud Technology Partners has enjoyed and its notable and exponentially growing roster of Fortune 500 clients, but the inexhaustible global demand for innovative cloud solutions."
