Corporate Technologies Named to Inaugural CRN Tech Elite 250

CRN Editors worked with solution providers and outside experts to define the most important technical certifications in the market today. By mapping certifications against the key technology opportunities as defined by CRN’s State of the Market, and Midmarket study, the Tech Elite 250 recognizes the VARs most committed to helping customers innovate while reducing costs.

“The Tech Elite 250 recognizes an elite group of VARs who are successfully navigating the dynamic IT channel market,” said Kelley Damore, Vice President, Editorial Director at Everything Channel. “By adapting to new customer purchasing patterns and redefining best practices, these solution providers are delivering the strategies and value customers demand to compete in today’s competitive economic environment.”

“For the past 30 years, Corporate Technologies has focused on developing strong vendor partnerships and representing the products and services of our partners with the highest integrity. As a result of our multi-vendor authorizations, Corporate Technologies has the expertise needed to meet the information technology requirements of our customers in a rapidly changing industry.  It is an honor to be recognized by Everything Channel and to be part of the Tech Elite 250 list,” said Jim Griffith, CEO of Corporate Technologies.

When was the last time you assessed your IT network?

The first and arguably most important step in this planning is having a detailed and accurate assessment of your current environment.  Would you start remodeling your house without a detailed plan? Would you simply trust the general contractor to build you a nice addition and hope it works out?

At the very least, you should have a network assessment and documentation that outlines IP addresses of devices, ISP account information, access information, server documentation, network device details for firewalls, routers and switches and network configurations or drawings.

All too often we meet with business owners who don’t have a plan or control of their technology, even some owners living in fear of what their current IT person could do if they were to become disgruntled or leave suddenly. Having detailed documentation and the “keys” to your current investment allows you to be in the driver seat of managing this critical part of your business.
