CGS Ranked Among North America’s Top 500
Technology Integrators by Everything Channel
New York, NY (June 2, 2009) – Computer Generated Solutions®, Inc.
(CGS), a leading provider of software, outsourcing solutions and
business & IT services to organizations worldwide, has been
recognized by Everything Channel as one of North America’s top
technology integrators. CGS placed number 225 in the 15th annual VAR
500 ranking.
The VAR 500 list details the leading revenue producers among
technology integrators and technology solution provider
organizations in North America. The list’s ranking is based on gross
worldwide revenue of hardware and software sales, as well as
earnings from professional and managed information technology (IT)
services.
The 2009 VAR500 list includes 92 new companies with 10 percent of
them in the Top 100 of the list. The starting point of the list is
company #500 with revenues of $26.8 million, ending with company #1
with revenues of $57.3 billion. This list reflects the strength of
the technology reseller channel.
“We are delighted to be ranked among North America’s largest
technology firms for the third year in a row,“ stated Phil Friedman,
president and chief executive officer of CGS. “Our founding
commitment to the long term success of our clients has fueled our
growth for 25 years. Today, we are positioned with the financial
strength and stability required to deliver sustainable value to our
customers. We look forward with confidence to a future of continued
profitable expansion based on deep relationships with our customers
and partners, on the creativity and dedication of our employees, and
on the entrepreneurial spirit that has been our trademark.”
The complete listing of the VAR 500 is published in the May 26, 2009
issue and can be found online at www.channelweb.com.
To complete the 2009 ranking of the 500 largest North American
solution providers, system integrators, VARs and IT consultants,
companies were asked to complete an online questionnaire to
determine prequalification. In February 2009, Everything Channel
conducted extensive research and analyzed the data. Independent data
sourcing (e.g., SEC filings, annual reports, etc.) also was
conducted. Finalists were ranked according to their fiscal year 2008
revenue, based only on their reseller-related services business.
