17th Annual List Ranks North America's Top 500 Technology
Integrators
Slalom Consulting, a premier business and technology consulting
firm, today announced it has been recognized by Everything Channel
for having the “Top Mobility Practice” in the 17th annual 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.
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.
“We’re vigilant about keeping our eyes on the next technologies
that solve our clients' challenges. There’s a lot of confusion
around mobile right now and we pride ourselves on the ability to
separate the myth from reality,” said David Uhler, managing
director of mobility at Slalom Consulting. “Our mobility practice
focuses on the business process-rather than a specific method or
platform-which allows us to deliver the right solution for our
clients. We’re extremely honored to be recognized by Everything
Channel as the leader in the mobile industry.”
“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. We
congratulate Slalom Consulting for making this year’s VAR500 list
and for winning the 2011 Top Mobility Practice award.”
