Each year, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors work together to identify the most customer-centric technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Solution providers that have earned these elite designations — enabling them to deliver exclusive products, services, and customer support — are then selected from a pool of online applicants.

“Hard work pays off. This is recognition for all the time, energy, and effort our talented engineers and sales professionals take to achieve highest levels of certification across disciplines and multiple technology providers. We enjoy solving problems for our customers and prospects. In order to do that you need expertise and experience with various technologies, from established to cutting edge. We strive toward excellence by reading, studying, spending hours in the lab, and getting certified across many vendors. In this industry, you must stay on top of trends, technologies, and changes. Our team understands the importance of professional development and continual learning,” said ThunderCat’s CEO, Tom Deierlein.

“Solution providers that continue to pursue vendor certifications and extend their skill sets across various technologies and IT practices are proving their commitment to delivering the greatest business value to their customers through an incomparable level of service,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “Our CRN Tech Elite 250 list recognizes leading solution providers with expansive technical knowledge and esteemed certifications for exactly that reason.”

Coverage of the Tech Elite 250 will be featured in the February issue of CRN, and online at https://www.CRN.com/TechElite250.
