The Biggest Solution Provider In Each State In 2024: The Solution Provider 500
CRN breaks out which solution providers in each U.S. state and Canadian province generate the most revenue and how many of this year’s Solution Provider 500 are based in each U.S. state and Canadian province.
State Of The Channel
The biggest solution providers and strategic service providers supply IT systems and services to their customers on a national – even global – basis. But despite the wide adoption of cloud services and remote computing, the channel still largely follows the model of solution providers focusing on serving local businesses and organizations in specific regions, states and cities.
As part of the CRN 2024 Solution Provider 500 – our annual ranking of the largest solution providers doing business in North America – we provide a look at how many solution providers and strategic service providers are based in each state and Canadian province.
The concentration of solution providers tends to align with state populations and, therefore, states with more businesses that need IT products and services. California, the most populated state in the U.S., has 51 Solution Provider 500 companies headquartered there. The Golden State is followed by other populous states such as New York (42 Solution Provider 500 companies) and Texas (28 Solution Provider 500 companies). Virginia boasts 38 Solution Provider 500 companies, many serving the IT needs of the U.S. federal government and all the companies that serve it.
The following slide show identifies the biggest 2024 Solution Provider 500 company that’s headquartered in each U.S. state and Washington D.C. and quantifies how many companies on the list are based in each state. (There are no 2024 Solution Provider 500 companies in Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, Rhode Island, West Virginia or Wyoming.) The slide show also includes the largest Solution Provider 500 companies based in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.
As part of the 2024 Solution Provider 500 project, we also provide a ranking of the 25 largest solution providers on this year’s list and a roundup of the 41 newcomers to this year’s list.
