Tech Elite 250 List Recognizes Highest Achieving IT Solution Providers in Vendor Certifications

CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Compulink Technologies Inc. to its 2019 Tech Elite 250 list. This annual list honors a select group of North American IT solution providers that have earned the highest number of advanced technical certifications from leading technology suppliers, scaled to their company size. These companies have distinguished themselves with multiple, top-level IT certifications, specializations, and partner program designations from the industry’s most prestigious technology providers.

To compile this annual list, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors work together to identify the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Companies who have earned these elite designations— which enable solution providers to deliver premium products, services and customer support—are then selected from a pool of online applicants.

“CRN’s Tech Elite 250 list recognizes solution providers with extensive technical knowledge and premier certifications,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “Pursuit of vendor certifications and broader skill sets in a wide range of technologies and IT practices, proves a solution provider is committed to delivering maximum business value from those technologies and giving their customers the highest level of service.”

Compulink Technologies has also won CRN Awards in the past including the Elite 150 Category of the MSP 500 in 2019! You can click here to read more.

“We are very committed to staying on top of our tech certifications.  It is important to us that when we engage our clients, we are fully aware of what capabilities the products and solutions have or do not have.  This helps our Compulink team maintain transparency with our clients and ensure client satisfaction.” – Denise Arboleda, VP of Sales in Compulink Technologies.

Coverage of the Tech Elite 250 will be featured in the April issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com/TechElite250.

New York, NY, February 19, 2019 – Compulink Technologies, announced today that CRN_®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Compulink Technologies to its 2019 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Elite 150 category.  You can find the link of our placement here.  This annual list recognizes North American solution providers with innovative approaches to managed services. These services help customers improve operational efficiencies, maximize return on IT investments, and continuously help them navigate the complexities of IT solutions.

Managed service providers are integral to the success of businesses everywhere. They empower companies to implement and operate complex technologies while staying within their budgets and keep focus on their core business. CRN’s MSP 500 list identifies the most groundbreaking managed service organizations, with advanced solutions that have endless potential for growth.

This annual list is divided into three categories: the MSP Pioneer 250, recognizing companies with business models weighted toward managed services and largely focused on the SMB market; the MSP Elite 150, recognizing large, data center-focused MSPs with a strong mix of on-premises and off-premises services; and the Managed Security 100, recognizing MSPs focused primarily on off-premises, cloud-based security services.

Compulink Technologies has also received the CRN Solution Provider 500 Award in 2017 and 2018 (link here)!  Compulink has also was placed in the Fast Growth 150 for CRN in 2016!  So this is the third consecutive year we have received a recognition from CRN!

“Capable MSPs enable companies to take their cloud computing to the next level, streamline spending, effectively allocate limited resources and navigate the vast field of available technologies,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “The companies on CRN’s 2019 MSP 500 list stand out for their innovative services, excellence in adapting to customers’ changing needs and demonstrated ability to help businesses get the most out of their IT investments.”

“We are honored to be a part of this list,” said Rafael Arboleda, the President and CEO of Compulink Technologies.  “This is no easy feat.  This recognition is an accumulation of years of trial and error in the Managed Services space as well as our diligent dedication to client satisfaction.  I am very proud and thankful for our talented Compulink Staff and all who have contributed to our company’s growth for the past 30 years!  A big thank you to CRN for the recognition as well!”

Congratulations to our VP Denise Arboleda for receiving a Certificate of Recognition from the New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer!  As you may or may not know, the Comptroller heavily deals with the budget of New York City government agencies and many other similar fiscal matters.

Denise and the Compulink Technologies team have worked for decades to find the best possible pricing for our clients in both the government and the business sector!  In recognition of helping our government clients save money while procuring top-notch IT Solutions, Denise has received this certification!

 We are indeed very proud!  Congratulations to Denise!

In recent years, Multi-Cloud Solutions became an increasingly popular approach among organizations.  The question remains whether a Multi-Cloud Approach or a Single-Cloud Vendor is recommended.  While there is no true correct answer to that question past subjective preference, we would like to highlight some strengths of Multi-Cloud solutions.

At the heart of every Cloud Services procurement is a common goal: data security.  As businesses venture into Cloud, the concern with their Cloud vendor’s security remains.  There have been instances in the past where cloud vendors have been hacked and/or organizations have lost access to their data due to a fault in local servers.  As a result organizations have adapted Multi-Cloud strategies.  Multi-cloud solutions offer data redundancy, meaning you can copy your data in multiple platforms.  With your data preserved in multiple platforms, the chances of loss in data has been reduced which prevents potentially major financial repercussions for organizations.

To add on, having a Multi-cloud solutions approach can prevent vendor lock-in.  Oftentimes, when a vendor becomes an organization’s exclusive provider for a given service, it becomes difficult to migrate one’s data into a competitor’s platform.  With a multi-cloud solution configured in your platforms, you can integrate features of a cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure into your experience with Amazon Web Services.  Without the proper Multi-cloud configurations, it will become extremely difficult and time consuming to integrate both platforms and utilize different features of different platforms.

Cost-effectiveness is an added benefit of having a Multi-cloud solutions approach.  If you rely on one sole vendor, it will become difficult to migrate your data to a competitor if their pricing becomes too pricey for your budget.  If you have multiple cloud solutions configured with your organization’s data and security infrastructure, you can navigate among them if one becomes too expensive.  As mentioned before, your data is already copied across multiple platforms, so the reliance on an increasingly expensive sole vendor would be reduced.

To sum it up, it is important to consider a Multi-Cloud solutions approach for your organization to “not have your eggs in one basket.”  You can reduce the likelihood of data loss; avoid exceeding your budget for cloud services; and you can integrate convenient features across different platforms for your team’s use.

We at Compulink Technologies want to take this opportunity to wish our clients and partners happy holidays; and our gratitude for helping Compulink provide invaluable service.

2018 has been a tremendous year for Compulink Technologies Inc.  For that we wanted to take this opportunity to thank our clients and partners; from the past, current, and future, for helping Compulink provide invaluable service.

Here are some of the highlights of our year here at Compulink Technologies:

Community Service:

Compulink Technologies Inc. has been committed to giving back to the community and empowering others.  Our President Rafael Arboleda has been collaborating with many nonprofit organizations and giving motivational speeches in their events.  In the events he spoke about his experiences as an entrepreneur and an immigrant of Latino descent in New York, which many in the audiences he engages can relate to.  Rafael has volunteered to speak at an event in INQMC to an audience of Latino-owned small businesses and to an audience of Latino youth from low-income neighborhoods in an event hosted by the nonprofit organization Juventud De Ecuatoriana.  He was also invited to speak in HispanoAmerica News as a motivational speaker.

Awards/Recognition:

In 2018, Compulink Technologies has also gained many recognitions and awards for our commitment to ensuring best business practices.  Very recently, the Comptroller of the City of New York has honored Compulink’s Vice President Denise Arboleda with a Certificate of Recognition to acknowledge her outstanding service to the community and government.  Additionally, Denise has been exclusively invited to the Women of the Channel Summit, an exclusive summit where prominent and rising women leaders of the tech industry are invited to collaborate, network, and grow.  Governor Andrew Cuomo has awarded President Rafael Arboleda with a Certificate of Distinction because of his “success story” as a leader of a certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) in New York City.

Successful Client Relations:

This year Compulink has collaborated with Cisco, an IT Industry Leader, in brokering a multi-million dollar deal with a large client.  Denise has spearheaded the small-sized Compulink team in effectively communicating with both the large manufacturer and the large client and ensuring that all parties were satisfied at the end of this deal.

While these instances do not encompass all Compulink’s accomplishments of 2018, they are exciting highlights.  Compulink’s 2018 accomplishments adds to one’s curiosity: what more can be done in 2019?  We will leave you with this teaser for our E-Store:

On that note, we wish you all a Happy holidays and a Happy New Year!  We are very excited to forging new connections while nurturing the wonderful connections we already have.  As President Rafael said in his letter: “Our most important asset is the connections we have forged and will forge in the future.”
