Crowning Achievement: CRN’s 2022 Triple Crown Award Winners
CRN assembles solution provider lists and rankings throughout the year, including the Solution Provider 500, the Fast Growth 150 and the Tech Elite 250. Here CRN recognizes the 41 solution providers that earned a spot on all three lists this year with the annual Triple Crown honors.
Solution Providers Hit The Bull’s-Eye
In the last two-plus years the IT industry and the channel have faced major challenges, starting with the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by significant shifts in business IT spending, economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, shortages of trained staff and other hurdles.
Despite the shifting IT landscape, many solution providers and strategic service providers have thrived. They have expanded their product portfolios and services offerings and increased their technical expertise to meet changing customer needs. And they have maintained rapid growth, organically and/or through acquisitions.
Each year CRN publishes a number of solution provider lists and rankings including the Solution Provider 500, the largest solution providers operating in North America by revenue; the Fast Growth 150, ranking the fastest-growing solution providers; and the Tech Elite 250, showcasing solution providers that have achieved the highest partner levels and certifications from leading IT vendors.
Every year a number of solution providers achieve the trifecta of making all three lists. This year 41 solution providers, profiled on the following pages, achieved that feat to become the 2022 class of CRN Triple Crown winners.
