Data Networks Named to CRN’s 2013 Tech Elite 250

Third Annual List recognizes IT Solution Providers with
deep technical expertise and premier certifications in North America

Hunt Valley, Maryland, March 14, 2013 – Data Networks announced today it has been named to CRN’s third annual list of the Tech Elite 250. Companies on the 2013 Tech Elite 250 list represent an elite group of IT Solution Providers that have invested in the training and education needed to earn the most technical certifications in the IT Channel.

In compiling the list, CRN editors worked with the UBM Channel research group and a team of outside experts to define the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the IT channel. These technical certifications have enabled solution providers to deliver the most premium products, service and support to their North American customers.

Data Networks’ most important asset is our experienced and skilled personnel. Each of our engineers is assigned a primary area of technical focus and has in-depth training and technical certifications, as well as a wealth of technical experience in his/her area of expertise. The dedication to developing focused expertise has resulted in our engineering team members receiving awards such as the Novell Master CNE of the Year Award as well as industry notice with participation in high profile projects and memberships. Our engineers have participated in the development of benchmarks for Novell’s NetWare and eDirectory for the Center for Internet Security (CIS) as well as held a seat on the SANS GSEC Advisory Board.
