The Solution Provider 500 ranking is based on revenue size, and considers each company's forward-thinking approach to the channel. In particular, the Solution Provider 500 selection panel sought to recognize companies that are building out practices around the data center and virtualization while offering software integration and application development skills. Revenue size is determined by the amount of annual products and services sold over the course of 2011. Companies with no public documentation were required to submit a notarized affidavit attesting to their 2010 and 2011 revenues.

"We're extremely honored to be recognized once again as part of UBM Channel's Solution Provider 500 list. As always, our teams worked exceptionally hard this past year to continue delivering innovative solutions and putting our clients at the center of everything we do," said Jere Brown, CEO of Dimension Data Americas. "Our consistent presence at the top of the Solution Provider 500 list is representative of our agility and responsiveness to clients and partners alike. We look forward to further supporting our clients as they accelerate their technology goals by providing leading solutions from noted partners, along with our full range of consulting, integration and managed services, as well as IT solutions."

Dimension Data leverages its technology expertise and global service delivery capabilities to help clients plan, build and support a wide range of services and solutions, including public/private/hybrid cloud, data centers, network integration, converged communications, contact centers, security and more. At the forefront of the rapidly changing service provider landscape, Dimension Data anticipated the convergence of IT services, cloud and telecom industries, and made early strides – including its acquisition by global telecom provider NTT, and its acquisitions of cloud provider OpSource and TEM provider Xigo– to meet the full range of clients' needs.

"The organizations listed in this year's Solution Provider 500 list are today's true integration innovators who generate high revenues by putting their customers' needs first," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director at UBM Channel. "Their primary role is to engineer ways to leverage technology solutions that help customers exceed their sales goals, drive client satisfaction, expand internationally or accelerate new product development. In essence, they are today's IT integration leaders for middle market and enterprise customers. We congratulate Dimension Data for making this year's list and look forward to covering their continued success."
