- (1888PressRelease) July 29, 2011 - New York, NY: White Stratus, a full service cloud integration specialty firm, has been named to the first ever CRN Next-Gen 250 list. This list features the most innovative and nimble business and technology integrators, solution providers, and resellers in North America. The CRN rankings focus on companies founded in the last 10 years that offer new solutions and services in cloud computing, mobility, unified communications, virtualization, and other emerging technologies. White Stratus' reputation as an industry-leading Value Added Reseller of cloud computing applications with a proven track record for success with enterprise level integration made the company a strong candidate for inclusion. According to a recent industry whitepaper from the White Stratus research team, the market penetration of one of the best known cloud solutions (Google Apps) is already at 20% among large businesses. This represents an unprecedented opportunity for applying new cloud technologies to large enterprises - something that White Stratus excels at.
Competition Among Cloud Service Providers Is Fierce
The popularity of cloud platforms among businesses of all sizes has led to a proliferation of VARS. Kelley Damore, VP and Editorial Director at Everything Channel, describes the selection process used to determine who made the cut for the top 250. "In today's competitive environment, solution providers have to do more than just talk about innovation. The ability to quickly implement new processes, models, and technologies is what drives margins and the bottom line."
White Stratus CEO Tim Drury points out that these principles are at the core of his company's business model ". The availability of cloud technologies has drastically changed the way consulting services can be delivered. Our Agile Prototyping Method allows us to develop new solutions for our clients in a matter of days. In the timeframe it takes traditional vendors to turn around a contract signature, we already have working product in the cloud, ready for client review. This gives vendors the freedom to act quickly with little risk - a key differentiator for early adopters of these technolgies."
