Tech Elite 250 list recognizes IT solution providers with deep technical expertise and premier certifications

Novi, Michigan, March 27, 2017 – Red Level, the Novi-based technology consulting firm, announced today that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named it to its 2017 Tech Elite 250 list. This annual list honors an exclusive group of North American IT solution providers that have earned the highest number of advanced technical certifications from leading technology vendors, scaled to their company size.

To compile the annual list, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors work together to identify the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Solution providers that have obtained these elite designations—which enable them to deliver premium products, services and customer support—are then selected from a pool of online applicants.

Since its inception, Red Level has maintained an unswerving commitment to the continuing professional education and growth of its associates. The company’s market strategy relies upon maintaining an unparalleled level and depth of institutional knowledge and expertise. By providing continuing specialized training to personnel at all levels of the organization, Red Level strives to maintain an unquestioned leadership position within its industry. Red Level’s commitment to advanced training has recently been recognized by the State of Michigan through its being awarded Skilled Trades Training Fund support for certification training for several Red Level employees.

“This exclusive, ambitious group of solution providers boasts some of the most advanced IT certifications available from top technology suppliers,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “They have adapted impressively to major changes in the IT channel, especially the shift to a more services-driven market, by expanding their skill sets and sharpening both their technical and customer service expertise. Congratulations to our 2017 list, whose robust investment in their organizations has earned them yet another elite designation—the CRN Tech Elite 250.”

“We are enormously pleased to be named again to the Tech Elite 250,” says Dave King, Red Level CEO. “We continually strive to refine our knowledge and our strategic insights, both individually and collectively. We see this as absolutely necessary if we are to enable our clients to take full advantage of all of the benefits emergent technologies have to offer. At the end of the day, our knowledge is our most important asset and the most valuable commodity we have to share. The more of it we gain, the better off we are.”
