Dimension Data Named To CRN's Tech Elite 250 List

NEW YORK, April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dimension Data, the $6.7 billion (USD) global ICT services and solutions provider, today announced it has been named to The Channel Company's CRN^® Tech Elite 250 list, for the fifth consecutive year. The annual list recognizes an elite group of IT solution providers that have invested in the training and education needed to earn the most advanced technical certifications from leading vendors.

In compiling the list, The Channel Company's research group and CRN editors collaborated to assess the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the IT channel — from vendors including Cisco, Citrix, Dell, EMC, HP, IBM, NetApp, Microsoft, VMware and Symantec, among others. These technical certifications have enabled solution providers to deliver an outstanding level of premium products, services and support to their North American customers.

A Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Communications Outsourcing & Professional Services, Dimension Data provides clients with a complete range of integrated IT services, including data center, public, private and hybrid cloud services and network monitoring and management, as well as enterprise mobility, security, and converged communications. Dimension Data holds more than 5,045 certifications across North and South America and is a key partner to some of the world's leading technology companies, including Cisco, Citrix, Microsoft, Polycom, FireEye and VMware. Consistently named to CRN's SP500 list of top solution providers, Dimension Data was also recognized on CRN's 2015 Managed Service Provider Elite 150 list for its strong mix of on-premise and off-premise data center services, and Mark Slaga, Chief Executive Officer for Dimension Data Americas, was named as one of CRN's 25 most influential executives in the IT channel.

"The solution providers selected for our annual Tech Elite 250 have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and gained industry credibility by investing in the IT certifications necessary to deliver exceptional service to their customers and stay competitive," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "These featured solution providers have enhanced and strengthened their partnerships by earning some of the most difficult certifications from some of the most prominent names in IT. We congratulate these organizations and look forward to their continued success."

"Our inclusion on CRN's Tech Elite 250 for the fifth year in a row highlights our unwavering commitment to best-of-breed enterprise technology training," said Slaga. "Our teams are equipped with the broad skillsets and deep expertise needed to accelerate clients' businesses through the integration of a full range of critical technologies, from cloud and data center to networking and more."
