2015 Solution Provider 500: 25 Newcomers
New In Town
It should be no surprise that the 2015 Solution Provider 500 list, CRN's annual ranking of the largest North American solution providers by services revenue, contains a lot of carryover from year to year. This year's list, however, only contains 25 new companies, down from 62 newcomers last year. Given that number was as high as nearly 200 in 2011, it's a sign that the channel has reached a high level of stability.
Here we present the 25 companies that are making their debut on this year's Solution Provider 500 list.
The list is available for purchase by contacting Laurie Condon (East Coast) or Nora Uriarte (West Coast).
