Keeping pace with a rapidly evolving technology world -- and profiting from the changes -- requires solution providers to not only maintain, but constantly expand their skill sets. Knowing how to implement and operate the latest technologies is key and knowing how to help customers leverage their IT to be successful is crucial.
One way forward-thinking solution providers can maintain this edge is by capitalizing on the training and certification programs offered by their IT vendor partners.
CRN recognizes the importance of technical certifications in a partner's portfolio and wants to help solution providers stay on top of the benefits and incentives available today. Over the past four years, we've compiled lists of the most-popular and biggest moneymaking certifications, as well as the certifications worth chasing in specific verticals.
Below you'll find our lists as well as a feed of the most recent vendor-specific certification news. We also have the CRN Tech Elite 250 project, an annual list of solution providers that have earned the highest number of advanced technical certifications, to help you benchmark against your peers.
