Data Networks Named to CRN’s 2021 Tech Elite 250

Company Recognized for the 7th Year

Hunt Valley, MD – March 24, 2021 – Data Networks, a premier solution provider focused on simplifying enterprise IT for education, government, healthcare, and commercial customers, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Data Networks to the Tech Elite 250 list for the seventh time.

The 2021 Tech Elite 250 list features IT solution providers of all sizes in North America that have distinguished themselves from the pack as top solution providers that have earned multiple, premier IT certifications, specializations, and partner program designations from the industry’s most prestigious technology providers.

Businesses rely on solution providers for the technologies, services, and expertise needed to meet today’s complex IT challenges—from new implementations to digital transformation initiatives. To meet such demands, solution providers and MSPs must maintain the highest levels of training and certification from IT vendors and achieve the highest tiers within those vendor partner programs.

Each year, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors distinguish the most client-driven technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Solution providers that have earned these high honors—enabling them to deliver exclusive products, services, and customer support—are then selected from a pool of applicants as well as from The Channel Company’s solution provider database.

“CRN’s Tech Elite 250 list highlights the top solution providers in the IT channel with the most in-depth technical knowledge, expertise, and certifications for providing the best level of service for their customers,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “These solution providers have continued to extend their talents and abilities across various technologies and IT practices, demonstrating their commitment to really conveying the most exceptional business value to their customers.”

“We are honored to again be named to the Tech Elite 250—an ambitious group of solution providers boasting the most advanced IT certifications available from top technology suppliers,” said Patrick Regan, President, Data Networks. “Our continued placement on this list speaks to our ability to deliver an incomparable level of service and expertise to our customers and our enduring commitment to keeping our technical teams on the leading edge of developing technologies.”
