value-added reseller (VAR) community
Chicago, IL – July 24, 2006
Sysix Solutions, Inc., a provider of IT business solutions spanning computer hardware and software, consulting and financial services, announced today that the company has been named to the "CRN Fast Growth 100" List of Solutions Providers – a top honor for IT technology solution providers. CRN Magazine, published by CMP Media, Inc., is the leading media outlet for the solution provider market and serves more than 120,000 channel providers, technology manufacturers and consulting services firms around the world. Sysix is also among the elite group of companies to win this distinction for the second consecutive year.
Sysix received this award based on the company’s 50 percent revenue growth over the past two years, and its 2005 net sales of more than $57,000,000, along with the company’s innovative "total solutions" business delivery model. According to Dan Dignam, publisher of CRN, "The CRN Fast Growth 100 identifies the fastest growing solutions providers across all specialty areas and business models. What makes the list so unique and compelling is that it represents such a large cross-section of the channel marketplace."
CRN noted that it was harder and more prestigious for companies to rank on the 2006 list, as growth rates for solutions providers in 2006 are more than 25 percent higher than the average growth rate in 2005. The average 2006 Fast Growth list generated over $52 million in sales. Sysix is featured in a special issue of CRN Magazine which is available on news stands July 24, 2006, and can be accessed at www.crn.com.
According to Sysix Solutions, Inc. CEO John Sheaffer, "Sysix is pleased to earn the distinction of a CRN Fast Growth 100 company. The award is a strong testament to the customer-centric focus of the entire Sysix team. Our company continues to grow at record levels due to our strong suite of service offerings and the high level of customer satisfaction our organization delivers. This upward revenue trend is a direct result of Sysix top support for our customers throughout the entire technology lifecycle – from initial sale, financing and solution configuration, to implementation, assessment and technology refresh."
