COSTA MESA, Calif., March 26, 2018 -- Red8, the industry expert in architecting today’s modern infrastructure, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Red8 to its 2018 Tech Elite 250 list. This annual list honors an exclusive group of North American IT solution providers that have earned the highest number of advanced technical certifications from leading technology suppliers, scaled to their company size.
“Red8 is focused on engineering excellence as our customers rely on us to solve their toughest technical challenges,” said Frank Wiacek, president of Red8. “We are honored to have been named to the list of tech elite solution providers. It is a testament to the success and commitment of our talented team.”
To compile the annual list, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors work together to identify the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Companies who have obtained these elite designations— which enable solution providers to deliver premium products, services and customer support—are then selected from a pool of online applicants.
“Being named to CRN’s Tech Elite 250 list is no small feat,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “These companies have distinguished themselves with multiple, top-level IT certifications, specializations and partner program designations from the industry’s most prestigious technology providers. Their pursuit of deep expertise and broader skill sets in a wide range of technologies and IT practices demonstrates an impressive commitment to elevating their businesses—and to providing the best possible customer experience.”
