Access Systems has once again been recognized by the IT industry, this time for their rapid growth when they were named one of the 150 fastest growing IT solution providers in North America. The award was given by CRN, an independent IT channel news outlet and brand of The Channel Company.

The list is CRN’s annual ranking of North America-based technology integrators, solution providers and IT consultants with gross sales of at least $1 million that have experienced significant economic growth over the past two years. The 2017 list is based on gains in gross revenue between 2014 and 2016, and the companies recognized represent a total, combined revenue of more than $16,717,688,643.

This is the first time Access Systems has made this elite list, and it was also the first year the Midwest-based office technology company submitted the data to become eligible for the recognition.

"We're thrilled to have made the CRN Fast Growth 150 list and be recognized alongside some of the top IT solution providers across North American," Shane Sloan, President and CEO of Access Systems said. "We're excited for the future and looking forward to continuing to offer high quality IT solutions for our customers."

"The companies on CRN's 2017 Fast Growth 150 list are thriving in what is now a very tumultuous, demanding IT channel climate," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "This remarkable group of solution providers has successfully adapted to a landmark industry shift away from the traditional VAR business models to a more services-driven approach, outpacing competitors and emerging as true channel leaders. We congratulate each of the Fast Growth 150 honorees and look forward to their continued success."

This accolade is one of the many the Access team has won this year. Other awards the team has received include the CRN Tech Elite 250, Solutions Provider 500 and MSPmentor 501.
