Nexus Climbs 95 Places on Everything Channel's VAR500 List

VALENCIA, Calif., June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexus announced today that it has been recognized by Everything Channel as part of CRN's 2011 VAR500 list, which ranks the top technology integrators in North America. Featuring the highest producing technology integrators and solution provider organizations in the IT channel, the VAR500 rankings consider earnings from hardware sales, software sales and managed IT services. Nexus placed 99th in the 17th annual ranking, up from 194th place in 2010.

The VAR500 is a list of the largest value-added resellers, solution providers and integrators in North America by revenue size. Revenue size is determined by the amount of annual products and services sold over the course of 2010.

"Nexus has consistently followed an aggressive growth plan during the recent economic downturn, capitalizing on opportunities created by more conservative companies in our industry. As a result, 2010 marked the 7th consecutive record year for Nexus, with revenues just over $205 million," said Deron Pearson, Nexus President/CEO and Co-founder. "We recently passed the $1 Billion mark in total revenue for our 7-year history and our meteoric rise on the VAR500 list is another indication that our growth strategy will continue to drive further success."

"We're proud to be named to the VAR500 List for the third year in a row, and especially proud of this amazing climb in the rankings," said Dave Elsner, Nexus VP of Sales and Marketing. "While our VAR500 ranking is revenue based, our sales targets are gross margin based, and our sustained organic revenue growth has been an outcome of our success. Our growth continues to support substantial business reinvestment; creating greater value for our customers, enhanced relevancy to our key technology partners, and expanded professional opportunities for our valued associates."

"The VAR500 represents the top performing solution providers in the IT community," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "Vendors of all sizes rely heavily on the VAR500 list to find those solution providers best suited to sell their products. VAR500 honorees are considered trusted business advisors, integration experts, and invaluable partners.  Even more importantly, they solve customers' biggest IT business problems through product integration, training, consulting and services."
