Crowning Achievement: Align Receives CRN® Triple Crown Award in Recognition of Remarkable IT Market Leadership

New York, NY, October 10, 2022 – Align, the premier global provider of technology infrastructure solutions announced today that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Align as a 2022 Triple Crown Award winner. The Triple Crown Award is reserved for those select few companies that earn a spot on all three of CRN’s prestigious solution provider award lists in the same calendar year.

Now in its ninth year, the CRN Triple Crown Award spotlights top North American solution providers for displaying a tireless commitment to achieving high revenue, company growth, and unparalleled technical expertise within the IT channel.

To qualify for the CRN Triple Crown Award, companies must earn a place on CRN’s Solution Provider 500, a ranking of the largest IT solution providers by revenue in North America; the Fast Growth 150, a ranking of high-growth organizations in the channel; and the Tech Elite 250, which recognizes solution providers that have attained top-level certifications from leading technology vendors in the industry. Being chosen for even one of these prestigious lists is an honor worth celebrating but meriting a spot on all three lists in a single year demonstrates a rare combination of market leadership, sales acumen and technical prowess.

Align has gone above and beyond this year to demonstrate the value of their Managed Services offering to clients and partners, earning them these three prestigious recognitions. From general success in the form of revenue earning a spot on the Solution Provider 500, to a commitment to innovation aligning with the recognition on the Fast Growth 150 list, and the industry passion and skill that earned a ranking on the Tech Elite 250, Align has had a banner year.

“We are honored to have been awarded the Triple Crown by CRN,” said Vinod Paul, Chief Operating Officer of Align. “By offering our award-winning Managed IT Services Platform with built-in cybersecurity advisory services, we not only meet our clients' unique needs, but have created an unparalleled experience that cements Align as an industry leader."

“The solution providers that have earned this year’s Triple Crown Award have demonstrated an unceasing enthusiasm towards technical mastery, innovative thinking, consistent growth, and high-caliber customer service within the North American IT industry,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “This award represents a chosen company’s ability to go above and beyond, and we’re excited to see where their dedication, their expertise, and their passion will take them as we venture forward into the future of the IT channel industry."

This year’s Triple Crown Award winners will be featured in the October 2022 issue of CRN and online here.
