Rent-to-own News - High Touch named a top technology integrator

High Touch Technologies today announced it has been recognized by Everything Channel as a 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.

High Touch Technologies placed #448 in the 17th annual ranking.

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.

“High Touch is proud to have earned a ranking in the Everything Channel’s CRN VAR500,” said Wayne Chambers, President and CEO of High Touch Technologies. “This is recognition of our commitment to providing the best technology, products and services to our clients,” he added. “Additionally, we’re excited to have moved up in the ranking from previous years. That also speaks well of our dedication to continually improve our product and service offerings,” said Chambers.

“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.”

The 2011 VAR500 list was announced at the VAR500 Executive Conference and Awards, an elite two-day conference designed for high level executives to meet with VAR500 companies to discuss business models, technology offerings, and partnerships.  Held June 13-14 at the Sawgrass Marriot in Jacksonville, Florida, the conference focused on channel marketing strategies and direction, offering actionable content to the top Solution Provider organizations in North America.  Attendees learned the secrets for uncovering new market opportunities from industry experts, peers and fellow VAR500 companies.

A sample of the VAR500 list will be published in print and online at CRN.com on June 20, 2011.
