In compiling the list, The Channel Company's research group and CRN editors collaborated to assess the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the IT channel. These technical certifications – from vendors including Cisco, Citrix, Dell, EMC, HP, IBM, NetApp, Microsoft, VMware and Symantec, among others – have enabled solution providers to deliver an outstanding level of premium products, services and support to their North American customers.

Converged Technology Group is widely recognized for its IT engineering excellence and high levels of industry accreditation.  Training and certification are of the utmost importance to Converged Technology Group because these efforts develop the substantial skill sets that provide the foundation upon which the most robust technical solutions can be built.  It is through the company's deep commitment to each of its vendor partners and its dedication to achieving the highest levels of certification possible that Converged Technology Group is able to exceed its most demanding client expectations, deliver unparalleled customer satisfaction and ensure optimum alignment of technology with business needs.

"We are honored to have been included among such an elite group of solution providers once again this year, our fifth consecutive year in the Tech Elite 250," says Leo E. Galletta, President and CEO, Converged Technology Group.  "We are deeply committed to our technology partners, something we express not only by taking part in available training and certification programs, but by investing in customized, hands-on, experiential tools within our own facility that will help our clients visualize how the solutions we design can be utilized to meet their business objectives.  The investments Converged Technology Group has made in training our people, in building in-depth demo centers, and in co-hosting collaborative live events alongside our vendor partners showcase our commitment to both our vendor partners and our clients as well."

"The solution providers selected for our annual Tech Elite 250 have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and gained industry credibility by investing in the IT certifications necessary to deliver exceptional service to their customers and stay competitive," says Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "These featured solution providers have enhanced and strengthened their partnerships by earning some of the most difficult certifications from some of the most prominent names in IT.
