Waltham, MA – NWN Corporation announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named NWN to its 2018 Tech Elite 250 list. This annual list honors an exclusive group of North American IT solution providers that have earned the highest number of advanced technical certifications from leading technology suppliers, scaled to their company size.

To compile the annual list, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors work together to identify the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Companies who have obtained these elite designations— which enable solution providers to deliver premium products, services, and customer support—are then selected from a pool of online applicants.

NWN has elite partner certifications from Cisco, HP Inc, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, AWS, NetApp, Dell/EMC, Microsoft, and VMware. NWN picks our strategic partners carefully by determining which organizations are the leaders in their particular technology field. We then work to develop strategic engineering talent around each of the specializations and partners. NWN’s goal is to ensure that we have the depth of capabilities in the technologies and the strategic relationships with our partners to provide the best solutions for our customers.

“Being named to CRN’s Tech Elite 250 list is no small feat,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “These companies have distinguished themselves with multiple, top-level IT certifications, specializations and partner program designations from the industry’s most prestigious technology providers.
