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.

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.

"The fact that Converged Technology Group has been recognized as one of the top 250 solution providers in North America for six consecutive years is evidence of our commitment to providing best-in-class solutions that will give our customers the competitive edge they need today," says Leo E. Galletta, President and CEO, Converged Technology Group. "We not only maintain the top levels of certification with our vendor partners, but we also work hand-in-hand with them to deliver experiential demonstrations that give clients a real-world look at how the technologies and solutions we propose will drive measurable business outcomes for their organizations. The investments we have made over the past decade in training our people, in hosting live demonstrations, and in expanding our regional presence in New York City and the surrounding metro areas have all been made to help our clients work better, smarter and faster, a commitment to excellence that has earned us their loyalty and trust."

"The solution providers selected for our annual Tech Elite 250 list have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and gained strong industry credibility by earning some of the most difficult IT certifications available from top technology vendors," says Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "Attainment of these exclusive certifications strengthens the channel as a whole by invigorating partnerships and enabling the delivery of exceptional customer service.
