CRN Fast-Growth 100 Award to CSP

Raleigh, NC; July 16, 2007 – Computer Service Partners today announced that the company has been identified by CMP Media’s CRN magazine, which provides vital information for computer technology integrators, as a Fast-Growth 100 company.  

CRN’s Fast-Growth 100 identifies the 100 fastest growing computer solution providers in the United States across all specialty areas and business models. The profiles and data developed by CRN’s editorial staff provide insights into which models and technology are proving to be the most beneficial. 

“This recognition is a tribute to the dedication and hard work by everyone at Computer Service Partners, as well as the commitment of our loyal customers,” said Bill Riddick, President of CSP.  “While we have received a number of growth awards locally over the years, this recognition at the national level is a special honor.  I am very proud of the achievements of the entire CSP team, and very appreciative of our wonderful customers.”

“As the channel’s vital resource, CRN is solely focused on the Solution Provider community.  This list, created by our editorial team, recognizes the Solution Providers that have worked tirelessly to support their customers.  We salute them on their superior growth,” said Robert DeMarzo, Editor of CRN. 

"What makes this list so unique, and compelling, is that it represents such a large cross-section of the channel universe. What's more, this is a dynamic list. While 59 companies that were on CRN's 2006 Fast Growth 100 ranking made the grade again this year, sheer ingenuity and investment savvy propelled 41 new solution providers to growth rates worthy of the final cut."
