Faces Of The 2015 Next-Gen 250
Ahead Of The Curve
The channel is undergoing seismic shifts as new technologies such as cloud computing, software-defined networking, cybersecurity, hyper-converged infrastructure and big data reshape the IT industry. While the channel overall has felt the impact of these technology advances, some solution providers are ahead of the curve when it comes to transforming their businesses to meet demands for such emerging technologies.
The solution providers on the Next-Gen 250 list are selected through research, vendor and analyst interviews, and CRN editorial coverage. All of the companies on the non-ranked list were started in 2000 or later. Some are relatively new and were launched to work with new-generation IT. Others have been around longer and have successfully transformed themselves by adding new technologies, services and skills to their business practices.
The following is a random sampling of the solution providers making this year’s Next-Gen 250 list. To purchase the complete list, contact Laurie Condon ([email protected]) on the East Coast and Nora Uriarte ([email protected]) on the West Coast.
