Add another feather in the cap of Access Systems, as on Monday the team was named as one of the top 500 IT solution providers in North America by CRN, an independent IT channel news outlet and a brand of The Channel Company.

The annual list was comprised of the largest technology integrators, solution providers, and IT consultants in North America by revenue. Access joined this elite group of IT solutions providers to receive this recognition, some of which included IBM Global Services and Deloitte Technology. The company was also one of the few managed service providers from the Midwest to make this exclusive list.

The Access Systems was also recognized as being one of the 58 companies to make the list for the first time. This was also the first year that Access Systems had applied for the award.

The Solution Provider 500 is CRN’s predominant channel partner award list, serving as the industry standard for recognition of the most successful solution provider companies in the channel since 1995. Access Systems is proud of the strides they have made since 2005 to provide high quality and industry-recognized IT solutions for customers. The solutions that Access Systems provides are continuously growing to accommodate an increasingly connected world.

“CRN’s Solution Provider 500 list spotlights the North American IT channel partner organizations that have earned the highest revenue over the past year, providing a valuable resource to vendors looking for top solution providers to partner with,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “The companies on this year’s list represent an incredible, combined revenue of over $318 billion, a sum that attests to their success in staying ahead of rapidly changing market demands. We extend our sincerest congratulations to each of these top-performing solution providers and look forward to their future pursuits and successes.”

This is the second award from CRN the Access Systems team has won this year. The first was the Tech Elite 250 award.
