World Wide Technology, Inc. (WWT), a market-leading systems integrator that provides innovative technology and supply chain solutions, announced today it has been named to the 2014 Solution Provider 500 (SP500) list by The Channel Company’s CRN. The list ranks the top revenue-generating technology integrators in the U.S. and Canada whose forward-thinking approach to the channel has helped them evolve and thrive in today’s cloud and services-driven IT era. The list spans eight categories from hardware and software sales, to managed IT services. WWT placed 12th in the annual ranking, up one spot from last year.

“We are pleased to be recognized by CRN and named to the 2014 SP500 list,” said Bob Olwig, vice president of business strategy and innovation with WWT. “With deep technical expertise and powerful long-standing strategic partnerships, WWT is well positioned for continued channel growth and success in developing innovative solutions that address service-delivery challenges for our customers and allow them to take advantage of cloud, Big Data, IT as a Service (ITaaS) and more to lower costs and drive strategic decision-making.”

Revenue size is determined by the amount of annual products and services sold over the course of 2013. Companies with no public documentation were required to submit a notarized affidavit attesting to their 2013 revenue.

“The annual Solution Provider 500 represents those companies that truly understand the needs of customers today as the IT landscape evolves,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “With so many options, this list has become an invaluable resource for vendors working hard to navigate the solution provider community and identify the best partner for their business.
