Two Leading Technology Industry Publications Honor Sysix
Channel Resource News and VARBusiness
Magazine recently recognized Sysix for its 40% growth in their 2007 ranking of
global solutions providers.
CHICAGO, IL, USA –August 13, 2007 – Sysix
Solutions, Inc., a global provider of IT business solutions spanning computer
hardware and software, consulting and financial services, announced it was
recognized by the two top industry-leading publications. Sysix was recognized
for its excellence in delivering complete technology solutions and for its
consistent double-digit growth which is running at 40 % over 2006 year-to-date.
The CRN magazine’s Fast Growth 100 List honored Sysix at number 58; this is 42
spots higher than last years’ ranking of 100. This is significant as CRN has
consistently recognized Sysix for its growth rate over the last two years.
CRN's Fast-Growth 100
identifies the 100 fastest growing solution providers across all specialty areas
and business models. The profiles and data developed by CRN's editorial staff
provide insights into the models and technology which are proving to be the most
lucrative. In the list of the Fast-Growth 100, companies activities range from
IT consulting services to the design and implementation of networks and
infrastructure.
The VARBusiness 500 list recognizes the 500 largest resellers worldwide. Sysix
placed number 262 out of 500, moving up 68 places from number 330 in 2006. For
companies to be considered for the VARBusiness 500, potential candidates were
submitted to a rigorous due diligence process involving an data collection
survey and independent data sourcing (e.g., SEC filings, annual reports, etc.)
was also conducted. Finalists were ranked according to their fiscal year 2006
revenue, based only on their reseller-related services business.
The amazing growth seen by almost all the 500 leaders is encouraging as
organizations continue to increase their technology budgets across all the
global markets. This positive trend is focused to continue through 2008
specifically as mid-market companies continue to utilize solution capabilities
and broad expertise from companies like Sysix Solutions.
