SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Today, OneNeck® IT Solutions, a provider of hybrid IT solutions announces being honored by The Channel Company with the esteemed 2015 CRN® Triple Crown Award. Fewer than 60 North American solution providers had the necessary revenue, growth and technical expertise to be recognized on three of CRN's pre-eminent solution provider lists, thus earning the Triple Crown Award this year.
CRN assembles lists and rankings each year to recognize solution providers, who are setting the bar in the IT industry. The lists include the:
- Solution Provider 500, which lists the largest solution providers in North America by revenue;
- Fast Growth 150, which ranks the fastest-growing solution providers; and
- Tech Elite 250, which recognizes solution providers that have received the highest level certifications from leading vendors.
It is a considerable achievement for a solution provider to make any one of these lists. To make it on all three, however--as this year's Triple Crown Award winners have done-- is a major accomplishment. It requires a company to simultaneously have enough revenue to be ranked on the Solution Provider 500 list, record double- or triple-digit growth for recognition on the Fast Growth 150, and invest heavily in top certifications to attain Tech Elite 250 status.
"We are thrilled to earn the Triple Crown Award," says Phil LaForge, president and CEO of OneNeck. "Highly skilled and deeply caring OneNeck professionals, combined with healthy and growing customers, are our recipe for a Triple Crown win. Kudos to our OneNeck coworkers for making it happen."
"I am continually amazed by the commitment to excellence demonstrated by the solution providers that drive the IT channel," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "The companies that have earned this year's CRN Triple Crown award are truly among the industry's elite, showing the depth and breadth of sales, technical and marketing expertise to earn recognition on our premier lists. We congratulate each of these leading solution providers and look forward to watching them thrive in the future."
Showcased in the December issue of CRN, the Triple Crown list, including OneNeck, can be previewed online. View announcements of OneNeck being named to CRN's 2015 Fast Growth 150, Tech Elite 250 and Solution Provider 500 lists.
