This year’s Top 100 solution providers earned $10 billion in combined revenue. Ever wondered how much $10 billion really looks like?

The IT channel is changing rapidly. How do you keep up? To help answer that question, earlier this month we brought together companies that have earned honours in previous years as fastest risers or were the highest-ranking new company on the list. They agreed to talk about what has allowed them to grow so quickly at a time when the role of some channel players is becoming increasingly unclear.

The panel features:

32nd-ranked PureLogic IT Solutions, represented by founder Coreen Bouchard 81st-ranked Arctiq, represented by founding partner Kyle Bassett 69th-ranked SoftLanding with Chief Growth Officer Mat Burke, and 60th-ranked Solution Stack, represented by founder and sales director Sina Ghafari. The panel is hosted by Ingram Micro’s Vice President Sales and Business Operations Bill Steed. Here are the highlights.

Thank you to Esri Canada for helping put together this year’s dashboard.

Highlights from the 2019 Top 100 Solution Providers Awards Gala

2019 results

The top two solution providers on our Top 100 list, Softchoice and CDW Canada, breached the $1 billion mark for the first time in the list’s history, and a slew of newcomers helped raise the bar by elevating the list’s minimum revenue range to $6.5 million. If there was any doubt about the channel’s ability to innovate and sustain itself in a world where customer buying habits have changed dramatically, those fears have been quelled.
