SHI International Corp. Named to CRN's 2012 List of Tech Elite 250

SHI International Corp. announced today that it has been named to CRN's second annual list of the Tech Elite 250. Companies on the 2012 Tech Elite 250 list represent an elite group of IT Solution Providers that have invested in the training and education needed to earn the most technical certifications in the IT Channel.

In compiling the list, CRN editors worked with the UBM Channel research group and a team of outside experts to define the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the IT channel. These technical certifications have enabled solution providers to deliver the most premium products, service, and support to their North American customers.

SHI International has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to training and technical certification that has enabled it to deliver diverse and cutting-edge hardware and software solutions to support each customer's unique needs. Investment in technical education and the passing of countless product and manufacturer technical certifications have helped drive SHI's record sales, which reached $3.8 billion in 2011. SHI's expertise has been recognized through key partner awards from leading global technology companies. These recognitions include Symantec Partner of the Year, VMware Corporate Reseller of the Year, the Microsoft Operational Excellence Award, and SHI's second-consecutive Dell Partner of the Year Award.

"The 2012 Tech Elite 250 list recognizes an exclusive group of Solution Providers that have shown a dedication to helping customers innovate while reducing costs," said Kelley Damore, Vice President, Editorial Director at UBM Channel. "By identifying and adapting to the skills and training needed to best serve today's customers, members of the Tech Elite 250 have proven their commitment to delivering the products and services that today's end users value most."

A sample of CRN's 2012 "Tech Elite 250" list is featured in the February issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.crn.com.

"SHI believes that ongoing training and technical certifications are not only a meaningful differentiator in our industry, but a major factor in delivering world-class customer service," said Thai Lee, President and CEO of SHI International Corp. "Our staff is given the tools to succeed in this competitive market, accelerating their professional development, increasing the breadth of SHI's product catalog, and making SHI an indispensible partner for the world's most successful technology companies."
