LOGICALIS ROCKETS UP RANKINGS OF NORTH AMERICAN SOLUTION PROVIDERSCompany Ranks No. 65 in Annual VARBusiness 500 Issue
Bloomfield Hills, MI – June 12, 2007 – Logicalis, Inc., (www.us.logicalis.com) a global provider of high-performance technology solutions, today announced it had been ranked a top solution provider in the current issue of VARBusiness magazine (www.varbusiness.com). This represents the second time in as many years the company has ranked among the top 100 information technology providers in North America. A dynamic 38 percent increase in annual income, from $555 million to $769 million, was partly responsible for the increase from last year’s ranking at 83 up to this year’s ranking at 65.
Logicalis attributes its rapid growth both to strategic acquisition investment and to continued demand for complex software and hardware solutions built around industry-leading products from top vendors including HP, IBM, Cisco, and EMC.
“Logicalis delivers service and experience to its customers based on our expertise in building technology solutions for business. We provide the technology solutions required to solve the complex business challenges our customers face,” said Terry Flood, Logicalis president, explaining the growth of the solution provider. “We recognize and understand that customer IT systems are linked to business objectives. Our customers look to us as a technology partner who can balance both sides of the equation.”
Based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, the U.S. division of Logicalis operates some 40 offices around the country that develop solutions integrating the full range of products and services its vendors offer. Increasing demand for cutting edge business solutions in such areas as Managed Services, Consolidation & Virtualization and Consulting is one of the major drivers of Logicalis growth.
“In addition to our ability to deliver technology that solves the business needs of our clients, they’re also turning to us because of our global reach,” said Flood. “When our customers internationalize their operations, they appreciate a technology partner that has a major overseas presence.” Global headquarters for Logicalis is located in the UK, with offices in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
Logicalis is well-respected by its vendor partners. The company is HP’s largest enterprise solution provider in the U.S.; it was the recipient of IBM’s top award for business partners, the 2007 IBM Business Partner Excellence Award for the Americas; and the company earned Cisco’s highest honor, the Cisco Customer Satisfaction Excellence Award.
Logicalis will continue to explore strategic acquisition and organic growth opportunities. “Logicalis is always looking for opportunities that will enable us to better serve customers by strengthening our geographic footprint and regional partnerships with our primary vendor partners,” said Flood. “Expect us to keep moving up the VARBusiness ranking as we continue to evolve into the most capable and comprehensive integrated solution provider in North America.”
