Jacksonville, FL, March 23, 2021 – Bridgenext (formerly Emtec, Inc.), a global IT consultancy, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, will honor Bridgenext 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 partners. These organizations 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 certifications 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.
Bridgenext was selected for its breadth and depth of technical certifications across multiple disciplines including IT infrastructure, enterprise applications, custom application engineering, cloud, data analytics, enterprise service management, intelligent automation, and cyber security. Bridgenext continues to expand its expertise within core partnerships including Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft, BMC, Lenovo, HP, Cisco, and Alcatel, as well as other digital technologies including Yellowbrick Data, UiPath and AWS. Additional notable independent certifications include ITIL 4, PMP, ISO 27001, ISO 27002, SOC 1 & 2, PII, GDPR, HDI, and CISSP.
Recent Bridgenext certification and partnership announcements include:
• Yellowbrick Data Partnership
• Microsoft Gold Application Integration and Data Analytics Competencies
• Oracle ERP Financials Cloud Service Expertise
