Tekserve was named by UBM Channel as a part of CRN’s 2012 Solution Provider 500 list, which ranks the top technology integrators in North America. Formerly known as the “VAR 500,” the Solution Provider 500 ranks the highest producing solution provider organizations in the IT channel from hardware sales, software sales, and managed IT services.

The Solution Provider 500 ranking is based on revenue size, and considers each company’s forward-thinking approach to the channel. In particular, the Solution Provider 500 selection panel sought to recognize companies that are building out practices around the data center and virtualization while offering software integration and application development skills.

“The customer is the core of the Tekserve business, whether it’s a corporation looking to integrate Apple mobile devices, a digital professional looking for the best in audio and video technologies or a consumer visiting our retail store,” said Kevin Hart, CEO, Tekserve. “We pride ourselves on the caliber of our consulting services and our expertise in technology integrations. UMB’s recognition is a testament to our continued dedication to our customers and the diversity of our products and services.”

“The organizations listed in this year’s Solution Provider 500 list are today’s true integration innovators who generate high revenues by putting their customers’ needs first,” said Kelley Damore, Vice President and Editorial Director at UBM Channel. “Their primary role is to engineer ways to leverage technology solutions that help customers exceed their sales goals, drive client satisfaction, expand internationally or accelerate new product development. In essence, they are today’s IT integration leaders for middle market and enterprise customers. We congratulate Tekserve for making this year’s list and look forward to covering their continued success.”
