UDT Honored on the 2021 CRN® Tech Elite 250 List

This annual list features IT solution providers of all sizes in North America that have earned cutting-edge technical certifications from leading technology suppliers.

Miramar, FL – UDT, a leading managed, security and cloud services provider helping clients across State, Local, Education, Enterprise and Commercial clients, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, will honor UDT on its 2021 Tech Elite 250 list. This annual list features IT solution providers of all sizes in North America that have earned cutting-edge technical certifications from leading technology suppliers. These companies have separated themselves from the pack as top solution providers, earning multiple, premier IT certifications, specializations, and partner program designations from industry-leading technology providers.

Businesses rely on solution providers for an enormous amount of technologies, services, and expertise to help them meet today’s IT challenges — whether it’s a new implementation or digital transformation initiatives. To meet these demands, solution providers and MSPs must maintain high levels of training and certification from IT vendors and achieve the highest tiers within those vendors’ partner programs.

Each year, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors distinguish the most client-driven technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Solution providers that have earned these high honors — enabling them to deliver exclusive products, services, and customer support — are then selected from a pool of online applicants as well as from The Channel Company’s solution provider database.

“At UDT, we thrive on protecting and empowering our clients thru their secure digital transformation journeys. Our team is committed to enabling solutions such as; secure digital learning and remote and modern workforces while securing our clients most mission-critical infrastructure,” said Henry Fleches, CEO of UDT. “Our technical teams across our managed, professional and consulting organizations continue to innovate while strengthening their skills through continued learning and hands-on experience.

“CRN’s Tech Elite 250 list highlights the top solution providers in the IT channel with the most in-depth technical knowledge, expertise, and certifications for providing the best level of service for their customers,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “These solution providers have continued to extend their talents and abilities across various technologies and IT practices, demonstrating their commitment to really conveying the most exceptional business value to their customers.”
