Presidio, Inc. has been recognized by Everything Channel's VARBusiness magazine as one of North America's top technology integrators. Presidio advanced to number 69 on this year's annual VARBusiness 500 ranking.
The VARBusiness 500 list details the leading revenue producers among technology integrators and technology Solution Provider organizations in North America. The list's ranking is based on gross worldwide revenue from professional and managed information technology services along with complementary hardware and software sales.
"The indirect sales channel for technology products and services drives two-thirds of all technology sales in the U.S., and the solution providers who make up the channel are the primary influencers of business technology decision making," said Robert C. DeMarzo, Senior Vice President and Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "This is why the VARBusiness 500 is such an important list -- because these are the top Solution Providers in the industry, and we salute each of them for their stellar performance."
Commenting on the award, Joel Schleicher, Chairman and CEO, Presidio, Inc. stated, "As a leading provider of business enablement solutions through advanced IT infrastructure, communications and managed outsourcing services, Presidio has been able to consistently grow to meet our customers' evolving needs. This recognition and advancement is a testament to our team's passion for customer service and support."
The 2008 VARBusiness 500 list includes 113 new companies, with 10.6 percent of them in the Top 100 of the list. The list of companies reflects the strength and robust growth of the technology reseller Channel.
The complete listing of the VARBusiness 500 is published in the May 26, 2008 issue of the business magazine that provides strategic insight for technology integrators.
To complete the 2008 ranking of the 500 largest North American solution providers, system integrators, VARs and IT consultants, companies were asked to complete an online questionnaire to determine prequalification. In February 2008 VARBusiness conducted extensive research and analyzed the data. Independent data sourcing (e.g., SEC filings, annual reports, etc.) also was conducted. Finalists were ranked according to their fiscal year 2007 revenue, based only on their reseller-related services business.
